How do foreign language dubs of American guests stars work exactly? The whole selling point of the guest star is that they voice themselves. I always figured this show would be a nightmare to sell internationally.
That's disappointing news regarding DC stars... I was hoping for at least one more episode featuring Batman and the gang.
I wonder who nixed Superman and further appearances in season two? Chris Bailey or WB/DC?
It's not easy trying to make a cartoon with a bunch of celebrities .I found an interview with series showrunner Chris Bailey. Here are some of the things he said:
Scoobypedia: How did you come onto Scooby-Doo and Guess Who, and what does your job entail?
Chris Bailey: "The original idea was to team up the gang with 1/2 celebrity guest stars and 1/2 cartoon guests stars, but over time, the cartoon characters gave way to the human celebrities. My only lament is that we never got to do a King Kong parody with Grape Ape or the Jabberjaw ep with Michael Phelps."
Scoobypedia: How many guest stars did you look at until you rounded it down to the 26 you choose for season 1? Were there any limitations on who you could use?
Chris Bailey: "As celebrities agreed to be on the show, the scripts and designs moved forward. Mike Ryan, the story editor, always included something personal about the guest stars to make their appearance unique, but some shows were more specific than others, so if a celebrity had to drop out, we had to scrap the episode because we couldn’t just substitute another actor."
Scoobypedia: What was production like on Guess Who? Since each episode is catered around a celebrity's availability, and the pending approval of each fictional character, how far could each episode go into production?
Chris Bailey: "The fictional characters were relatively easy, but we wouldn't start on scripts for the live celebrities until the deals were signed. I think that put an extra scheduling burden on our writing team."
Scoobypedia: Did any of the celebrities have any say on how they were depicted?
Chris Bailey: "Oh yeah, every guest star approved their character design."
Scoobypedia: What brought you to directing the Batman episode, and how were you able to make it distinctly different from the other episodes?
Chris Bailey: "I don't think Batman was intentionally directed differently from the other episodes except that it's the only one that I directed. It was the pilot and meant to set the tone for things to come in regard to using the classic setups, how real or scary the situations should be, how the characters react, etc..."

I'd say this was also the case for the original New Scooby Doo Movies .It's not easy trying to make a cartoon with a bunch of celebrities .
It looks to be more in-line with The Flash from Justice League Action, with Charlie Shlatter reprising the role .The Flash is going to appear in an episode.
I hope it's the Arrowverse incarnation.
Sorry for double post, but "Space Station Scooby!" premiered recently on Boomerang Australia.
And now I know what was the reason of banning that episode on Boomerang Central and Eastern Europe.
Why?

Boomerang has very quietly released the rest of Guess Who season 1 today on their streaming service and app, including episodes 14-26. It is in the correct order that it aired everywhere else, and...scoobysnax1.weebly.com
