"Lines and resolution have been enhanced, and dust and dirt have been removed - however, cell dirt remains to not disturb the original picture. Included in the remastering was the removal of grain, resulting in enhanced colors. The remastering process does cause a slight aspect ratio change (approximately 3% loss of screen image). Due to time-worn irreparable damage, the remaining 11 episodes were "Smart Rezzed" from standard definition Digibeta video. The process provides for significant enhanced resolution and improvement of the original source material in converting from standard to high definition, though it does sacrifice horizontal lines for clearer image and color representation. While still a marked improvement over the original video, viewers will notice a slight difference between the Remastered and the Up-Rezzed final footage." The 11 affected episodes are: "Eyewitness," "Final Cut," "The Last Resort," "Armory," "Sneak Peek," "The Eggbaby," "Zeta," "Plague," "April Moon," "Sentries of the Lost Cosmos" and "Speak No Evil."

June 7, 2021: J.M. DeMatteis teases in the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Return" feeds directly into Justice League Infinity, the main seven appear, other characters you don't expect to see will appear, there's new characters, series is very packed with characters, they are continuing threads such as certain relationships carrying on, and it is set "maybe a couple years later".

June 30, 2021: James Tucker was first approached for Justice League Infinity well into the home quarantine era of the pandemic, he wasn't sure about doing it at first just because if it was right to do it without Dwayne McDuffie and Bruce Timm, he approached it as what would the show have done had it continued, he recommended bringing in J.M. DeMatteis, DeMatteis does the lion's share of the writing, Tucker describes his duties more like what he did as a producer on JLU - a consultant suggesting ideas, talking about the threads left hanging, this is how this can tie in, tweaking a line - rather than as a co-writer, watching Justice League vs. Fatal Five helped convince him to agree to do the comic, and a bit of the paranoia from the pandemic translated into the comic.

July 6, 2021: Interview with James Tucker and J.M. DeMatteis about Justice League Infinity. Andrew Marino pitched a premise to Tucker that intrigued him and he came on board. When Marino talked about the multiverse idea, Tucker remember one of the thoughts the Justice League Unlimited crew had an idea to send the League into space on a quest in case they were renewed again. Tucker saw kernels of that idea in Marino's pitch and DeMatteis fleshed it out. The theme of identity runs parallel with Amazo and J'onn in this series. Series will touch on Batman and Wonder Woman and John Stewart, Shayera Hol, and Vixen. Series is more focused on the core 7 than the whole League. There is an upcoming issue that Ethen Beavers just turned in that gets very Kirby-esque and is centered on Wonder Woman. CBR Article
July 6, 2021: Interview with J.M. DeMatteis about Justice League Infinity. DeMatteis re-watched Justice League on HBO Max to refresh himself on the series. There's an alternate universe version of the Justice League, that he never even knew about and not been used very much. He and Tucker "took those characters and pumped them up and expanded them and they’ve become very, very important, especially a few central characters on that other team, become very, very important to the story." There's another AU Justice League that he had so much fun with, he'd love to spin them off into their own series. Darkseid appears but may be an AU version. AIPT Article

March 26, 2020: Bruce Timm wanted to evoke a "Late 60s" vibe and aimed for 1969 for the setting of the short. In preparation for breaking the story with Ernie Altbacker and Jim Krieg, he re-read Phantom Stranger comics and happened to notice the first issue of the second series was published in 1969. Everything clicked after that. Woodstock, The Manson Family, the Generation Gap, the first Led Zeppelin album, the first Alice Cooper album, Flower Power, the first issue of Vampirella, "Turn on, tune in, drop out" Psychedelics phrase, the first season of Scooby Doo, and the first season of The Brady Bunch got mashed up. At his first record, Peter Serafinowicz said, "So I'm gonna do this with my own accent, right?" and the British accent worked with Phantom Stranger. Michael Rosenbaum asked Timm want he wanted for the Seth character. Timm described Seth as a cross between Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Jim Morrison of The Doors with David Cassidy's hair. Rosenbaum recalled Morrison's "I am the Lizard King - I can do anything..." Animesuperhero Bruce Timm post
