Flashback Fridays: Two April Fools from Wizard
Clipped from Wizard Magazine:
Dork Note: I know these were meant as a joke, but I kind of want to see these produced!

Flashback Fridays - 2005: Devil Ray appears on JLU
Clipped from Wizard Magazine:
Clipped from Wikipedia: In Justice League Unlimited a character named Devil Ray (voiced by Michael Beach) debuted as a member of the Secret Society (based on the Legion of Doom). Devil Ray is closely based on Black Manta. The suit itself heavily resembles the suit Black Manta wore in the Filmation Aquaman cartoons.
Devil Ray appeared in major roles in "To Another Shore" and "Dead Reckoning" (the latter of which saw him accidentally killed by a Deadman-possessed Batman). According to writer Dwayne McDuffie, the reason behind the name change is because the rights to Aquaman characters were not available at the time, as they were being used for the Aquaman TV pilot.
Within mainstream comics, in Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis #52, the new Aquaman (Arthur Joseph Curry) inquires if Black Manta is the name of a cartoon character, and is corrected "...wasn't he called Devil Ray?" , a presumed reference to the character in Justice League Unlimited.

Flashback Fridays - 2006: DC's Jonny Quest
Clipped from Wizard Magazine:
Howard Porter, 2007, says, "Jonny Quest is still happening. It's just getting done very slowly! I have through the second issue drawn and most of it colored. If there is ever any down time I'll be working to complete it. Much like Shazam, Jonny Quest is a fond childhood-Saturday-morning memory, so I look forward to finishing this up. And I didn't know that Joe is working on Supergirl. That will be great! Way to go Joe!"
Dork Note: Well, it's now 2011 so my guess is this NOT happening.

Flashback Fridays - 2006: Grant Morrison's Wildcats
Clipped from Wizard Magazine:
Dork Note: This series, ummm, I mean this relaunch produced only one issue then failed to do another one. Friggin' weak!
Clipped from Wikipedia: In 2006, as part of the "Worldstorm" line-wide event, the title was restarted, written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Jim Lee. The team consists of Spartan, Mr. Majestic, Zealot, Grifter, Voodoo, Savant, and Ladytron. Warblade is on a secret mission, and Maul has retired to his civilian identity. Kaizen Gamorra returned as villain, aided by the WildCats' first enemy, Helspont. Thus far only one issue has been released (Dec. 2006 cover date), and no second issue is currently solicited. Jim Lee announced at Wondercon 2008 had said that he has the second script from Grant Morrison, but Wildstorm will not solicit it until there are several issues ready to go. The story should run six issues long

Flashback Fridays - 2002: Birds of Prey
Dork Note: This show had so much potential, but really fell short. However, the series ushered in the wave of superhero genre to appear on TV and movies in the coming decade.
