Now comes the conclusion of the Batman Beyond 2-parter, "The Call".
Quick recap: Superman (Christopher McDonald) has recruited the current Batman, Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle, Boy Meets World), to join the Justice League. At the same time, however, it turns out there is a traitor in their midst. Wayne Brady (Whose Line is it Anyway?) and Jodi Benson ("The Little Mermaid") are among the other guest stars.
Edit, 8/13/19: Dailymotion deleted the episode. All that's available now is this excerpt from YouTube:
As the Star brothers explained in the comments box after part 1, Wonder Woman was meant to be used, but the estate of her creator, William Moulton Marston, demanded she be a featured player, not a supporting player. That was resolved when Cartoon Network launched Justice League a year later. This 2-parter foreshadows the story arc on Justice League between Hawkgirl & Green Lantern John Stewart, as Warhawk is their future son.
Series regular Lauren Tom is heard as the Green Lantern of this future era.
Rating: A-.

The Green Lantern of the future in this episode's name is Kai-Ro, which is an in-joke referring to the original GL of Earth Hal Jordan's alien friend Kairo in the Green Lantern animated shorts from Fimlation's "Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure" series from the 1960s.
I had thought about mentioning that, but didn't.
And it's funny because at ToonZone, they don't want you discussing pre-1992 DCAU. Go figure.
