After posting on the Man of Steel thread, this one came to mind. I can't be the only one who enjoyed the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series. A couple years ago, I was amused to learn what had been the original plan for the ultimate finale for the show-and boy, is it a doozy.
For those who may not remember, the finale to Superman TAS was a two parter in which Darkseid brainwashed Superman and forced him to try to conquer earth so that even after Superman came around the world he loved would be fearful and mistrustful of him. During the episodes, it was implied that while he was on Apokolips Superman and Lashina, from the Female Furies, became lovers. Later, during the courses of Justice League, Darkseid was killed, and Apokolips ended up in a civil war-but he was resurrected for the series finale, where he lead a final attack on earth that the good guys fight off.
Apparently, the original planned story for the finale would have been considerably different. The original story was to reveal that Lashina gave birth to a half-kryptonian son by Superman, and that after Darkseid's death their son takes over Apokolips and plans an invasion of earth. Personally, I prefer the ending they went with, because Darkseid is THE villain of the DC universe. But still, this is a very unique plot and it might have been cool to see it play out.
