Bruce Timm is the man of the hour with the countless amount of work that he has done for the DC Animated Universe over the years. From creating animated projects with some iconic characters to helping out in the creation of comic books, Bruce Timm has done it all.
Being a good friend of the people at Warner Bros. (presently Warner Bros. Discover), Bruce Timm was once asked about joining Marvel Studios for a change. Timm replied that he wouldn’t mind joining Marvel Studios but only if certain conditions are met!

“I’d consider it, if it were the right Marvel property, and if they would give me a decent budget, and if the Powers-That-Be were in sympatico with what I’d want to do with it. A whole lotta “ifs”! Look, I’m not under contract with WBA, but I’m not planning on going anywhere.”
He further continued,
“Warners treats me right, the gang at DC have always been cool and the folks at Cartoon Network couldn’t be easier to work with. So, you see, the problem is, they’re spoiling me rotten! But I’d consider it…. “

“Maybe I’m in total George-Lucas-esque denial, but I honestly don’t think the first season of JL represented any kind of radical dropping-off in quality from our previous shows. Some of the first season shows I think were really good, but we had so many challenges inherent in the show. So many balls juggling in the air, and inevitably some of them dropped.”
Well, the first season ended in November 2002 and received a rating of 8.6/10 on IMDB, with a whopping 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. The two seasons of the animated show are available to stream on Max in the U.S.
