Would you read a Kieron Gillen JLA run and do you think he would be a suitable writer for those characters/archetypes?
Sure. I’d give it a shot.

Opinions on Shilo Norman-Mr. Miracle?
He's a fun character and I wish him well in his ongoing adventures. For me however Scott Free remains the only Mr. Miracle I'm interested in reading about.

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
Superman 
The last son of Krypton, Ka-El was sent off from his doomed home planet by his parents to the safety of Earth.  The infant was happened upon by a kindly couple named Jon and Martha Kent.  The Kents raised him as their own, naming him Clark.  It was quickly evident that young Clark possessed amazing powers and Ma and Pa Kent did their best to impart on him the importance of helping others and using his powers responsibly. 
Clark would eventually relocate to Metropolis where he took a position as a reporter for the award-winning newspaper, The Daily Planet.  Whenever trouble were to arise, however, Clark would make a timely exit and quickly transform into Superman, using his amazing abilities to save the day.  
Although seemingly invulnerable, Superman was greatly weakened when exposed to radioactive fragments from his destroyed home planet.  This material, known as ‘Kryptonite,’ was quite rare and valuable.  When the villainous Joker happened upon a large chuck of Kryptonite, he came to Metropolis and propositioned Superman’s arch nemesis, Lex Luthor, to pay him a huge fee to kill the Man of Steel.  
Batman had tracked The Joker to Metropolis resulting in a team up between Batman and Superman.  The two heroes were quite different from one another and did not get off to a good start.  Yet they worked well together and the pair would go on to become lifelong friends.  Some time thereafter, Batman and Superman would help in the formation of The Justice League.
Actors Tim Daly and George Newbern each provided the voice for Clark Kent/Superman, with the hero first appearing in the debut episode of Superman: The Animated Series.

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
Lex Luthor
Quite possibly the most intelligent man on the planet as well as a megalomaniacal cad, Lex Luthor accrued fabulous wealth through his inventions and business acumen.  He created LexCorp, a multi-conglomerate at the forefront in nearly all aspects of science and industry.  Seeing himself as above the law, Lex refused to allow safety and regulatory measures to obstruct his progress.  And he used his own wits and a high-priced legal team so that he would never have to answer for any laws he chose to overlook or outright break.   
A resident of Metropolis, Lex helped to build much of the city making it one of the largest and most advanced municipalities in all the world.  He greatly enjoyed his status as Metropolis’ most famous and celebrated son.  Yet all this changed with the arrival of Superman.  Quite suddenly the city became enthralled with the heroic exploits of this mysterious Man of Steel.  
Superman instilled in Lex a deeply seated complex of inferiority and contempt.  He viewed Superman as something other than human, as a product of the nature of the cosmos.  To defeat him would be the ultimate proof in man’s conquest and his own personal superiority.  As such, he would do anything to eliminate Superman and he embarked on numerous, diabolical schemes to do so; all of them ending in glorious failure. Too clever to leave evidence, Lex was never charged with any of the crimes he committed in his efforts to do away with Superman.  
When The Joker propositioned Lex with a viable plan to kill Superman, Lex leapt at the opportunity (naturally with the intention of double-crossing and eliminating The Joker when the deed was done).  This put Lex at odds with Batman and he found The Batman to be just as formidable a foe as Superman.     
Superman and Batman were able to foil The Joker’s scheme, but it would not be the last time the pair would match wits with Lex.  The two heroes would go on to help form The Justice League and Lex Luthor would prove to be among the most dangerous and persistent foes the team would go up against.  
Golden-throated actor Clancy Brown provided the voice for Lex Luthor, with the scoundrel first appearing in the second episode of Superman: The Animated Series.

Lois Lane
The daughter of an accomplished military general, Lois Lane was the star journalist for the Daily Planet newspaper of Metropolis.   Her exposés on scientific discoveries, the unethical practices at LexCorp and her in-depth profiles of Superman had garnered Lane multiple, prestigious awards and cemented her as one of the world’s most intrepid and respected newspersons. Absolutely fearless, Lane forsook any danger in pursuit of a story.  Although she was more than capable of handling herself, there were many an instance where her life was saved by the timely arrival of Superman.  
Lane met Bruce Wayne when Wayne traveled to Metropolis to oversee a joint venture between Wayne Enterprises and LexCorp.  There was an immediate attraction between the two and when Wayne invited Lane out to dinner she quickly accepted.  
Wayne had primarily come to Metropolis because he suspected The Joker was planning on using stolen Kryptonite to kill Superman.  He split his time hunting down The Joker as Batman whist also becoming involved in a whirlwind romance with Lois Lane.
Lane had been pinning for Superman for some time yet had come to feel that nothing would ever come of it.  This added to her becoming altogether smitten with Bruce.  She even seriously considered relocating to the Daily Planet’s Gotham City branch so she could continue her relationship with him.  
When Lane discovered Bruce’s secret identity as Batman, however, her feelings began to change.  She adored Bruce; Batman on the other hand was a different matter.  Ultimately the two broke things off although Lois noted that she would keep Bruce’s secret (despite the fact that it was the scoop of the decade certain to earn her tremendous journalistic accolades).  
Actress Dana Delany provided the voice for Lois Lane, with the intrepid reporter first appearing in the second episode of Superman: The Animated Series.

Clark Kent
Heralding from Smallville in rural Kansas, mild-mannered Clark Kent is a reporter for the Daily Planet newspaper of Metropolis.  Smart, quiet and unassuming, Kent is the civilian identity of Superman, a hero possessing awesome powers that he has used to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of justice.   
Kent met Bruce Wayne while writing about a joint venture between Wayne Enterprises and LexCorp.  Although Wayne had primarily traveled to Metropolis because he suspected The Joker was planning on using a large cache of Kryptonite to kill Superman.  Utilizing his X-Ray vision, Superman was easily able to discern Batman’s secret identity as Bruce Wayne; and Batman returned the favor, using old fashion detective work to determine Superman’s alter ego as Kent.  
Putting aside their differences, Batman and Superman joined forces to take down the Joker and save Metropolis.  Despite getting off to a rocky start, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne would go on to be lifelong friends and allies.  
Actor Tim Daly provided the voice for Clark Kent/Superman, first appearing in the debut episode of Superman: The Animated Series.

ok but if you had to choose and could only watch one, would it be Batman TAS or X-Men TAS?
yikes. That's some Sophie's Choice style dilemma... I don't like that choice at all :(
I loved both shows dearly. Yet I guess if I had to choose just one, I would go with Batman. The straight, white, male answer, I suppose, but I am what I am.

seems like a lot of the younger generation don't understand that we didn't always have play on demand shows. That you had to choose which shows to watch and you only got one. Like when I grew up X-Men and Batman TAS played at the same time and I had to choose one over the other.
I suppose that may be true. Plus the networks had to use rather old fashioned means of trying to determine which shows were successful with the targeted audience.
I was fortunate that X-Men and Batman both played on the same network in my neck of the woods, so I was able to watch both :)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?
The Turtles.
Although my most loved of that era was G-Force, the English language version of Science Ninja Gatchaman.
Tumblr media
There was a UHF channel in Chicago that played Battle of The Planets at the same time as both TNMT and The Power Rangers on other channels, so I never got especially into either of those two teams until the TMNT movie came out.

The Joker (New Adventures)
There were few things The Joker loved more than matching wits with Batman.  It offered him a twisted sense of order and comfort to repeat the pattern of crafting diabolical schemes only to be defeated by The Batman, sent back to Arkham, escape and then start the whole rigamarole anew.  And yet these constant defeats at the hands of the Dark Knight left the Clown Prince of Crime all but destitute in terms of his finances.  In short, he needed some serious cash so to continue his madcap dance with the Caped Crusader.  
The Joker could be as smart as he was unhinged and he devised a devilish plot to replenish his coffers.  He stole a jade dragon sculpture that was actually crafted out of the rare and unearthly element known as Kryptonite.  This was the one substance that rendered the famous Superman of Metropolis vulnerable.  The Joker then made a proposition to Superman’s wealthy nemesis, Lex Luthor, offering to kill Superman with this Kryptonite for the exorbitant fee of one billion dollars.  Luthor agreed and The Joker embarked on an assassination plan that very well may have succeeded had Batman not interceded.
Luthor’s efforts to eliminate The Joker so to cover his involvement in the scheme led to a violent ordeal wherein The Joker used LexCorp weaponry in an effort to destroy much of Metropolis.  Superman and Batman were able to put a stop to the attack and The Joker seemingly perished in the conflict.  Although it would not be long before the Ace of Knaves reemerged to commit further homicidal hi-jinx.       
The great Mark Hamill provided the voice for The Joker with the villain first appearing in the seventh episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘Joker’s Favor.’

Min and Max
Twin brothers Min and Max were a pair of low level gangsters whom Harvey Dent prosecuted during his time as the Gotham City District Attorney.  After Dent became the villainous Two-Face, he recruited Min and Max to act as his henchmen.  Twin bothers appealed to Two-Face’s obsession with duality and the number two.  That and he knew Min and Max to be greedy degenerates willing to follow his orders.  
Min and Max aided Two-Face in his war on Rupert Thorne, knocking over various establishments that acted as fronts for Thorne’s criminal empire.  The brothers were often perplexed by Two-Face’s compulsions but nonetheless dutifully follow orders.
Actor/musician Micky Dolenz provided the voices for the twin brothers with the henchmen appearing in the eighteenth episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘Two-Face Part Two.’

Do you think it would be worthwhile introducing The Thunderer (from Grant Morrison’s Multiversity) into the main DC Universe continuity?
Absolutely.
I only faintly remember the whole series of events in Multiversity. Still, The Thunderer is a rather cool character who could certainly add to neat stories. Not to mention that it would be cool to have a central character who was of the Mowanjum people. Not only for the matter of enhanced diverse representation, but also because the Mowanjum have a rich culture with all sorts of mythical tales and cool stuff that could be easily mined for fun stories.

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
More Talia al Ghul 
Although he had lived for centuries thanks to the rejuvenating powers of the Lazarus Pits, Ra’s al Ghul knew that he was not immortal and that he would eventually require an heir to continue the work of the Society of Shadows in his wake.  Ra’s had sired many sons over his long life yet none measured up and each proved a disappointment.  
Meanwhile, Ra’s daughter, Talia, had proven herself far an away to be the most competent, loyal, shrewd and effective of her father's lieutenants.  It was only Ra’s deeply seated sexism that prevented him from seeing Talia as the obvious choice to ultimately replace him as the Demon’s Head and leader of the Society of Shadows.  
Despite his flaws Talia remained dutiful to her father.  When Ra's desperation to extend his life led him down a ruinous path, Talia recruited Batman to assist her in saving her father from himself.  
Some time later, Talia aided her father in a new venture that sought to use a magical talisman to steal the powers of Superman and transfer them into Ra’s.  The plan nearly succeeded yet Batman interceded so to save Superman.  Both Talia and Ra’s appeared to perish in the ensuring struggle yet both managed to survive and would later return.  
In the end, Talia’s loyalty to her father was awarded with the cruelest twist of them all.  Talia agreed to sacrifice her own life so that Ra’s could transfer his sentience into her youthful body.   Talia's mind, her soul, was essentially erased, covered over by that of her father’s.  And now occupying a fresh, younger body, Ra’s was once more able to use the Lazarus Pits to maintain his youth and vigor.   
Many years past yet Ra’s sexist notions persisted.  He wanted to be a man again; yet not just any man but rather the one man whom he ever truly respected.  Hence he had his agents track down Bruce Wayne, who had long since retired from his role as Batman.  Posing as Talia, he invited Bruce to regain his vitality by way of the Lazarus Pit.  Ra’s ultimate plot was to restore Bruce to youth and then take over his body, transferring his essence into Bruce’s corporal form in the same way that he had taken over Talia.  
Aided by his new protégé, Terry McGinnis, Bruce was able to ferret out this terrible truth.  Talia was dead and her father's madness had finally consumed him beyond the point of no return.  A struggle ensued when Ra’s tried to force Bruce into the Lazarus Pit.  Terry rescued Bruce just as an electrical line fell into the pit, incinerated Ra’s.  Thus bringing a final ending to the tempestuous ordeals of both Talia al Ghul and her villainous father.    
Actresses Helen Slater and Olivia Hussey each provided the voice for Talia al Ghul with the tragic character first appearing in the forty-fourth episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘Off Balance.’
