Do I need to watch Young Justice as context for Justice League vs. the Fatal Five?

I've been getting into the DCAU this past year and loving it. I love the strong writing (for the most part) and the strong continuity these series have. Aside from Static Shock, I've watched all of the Timm-Diniverse that's listed on the Wikipedia page

I'm still a bit puzzled by Justice League vs. the Fatal Five though. I get that it has the original voice actors and the music cues from Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, but they have a new Green Lantern and Miss Martian (who I know is in Young Justice)

I haven't watched the series yet, but do I need to watch Young Justice to get up to pace with the new Lantern Jessica Cruz and Miss Martian?

And is there any word if Young Justice will get a complete series release like with Batman: The Animated Series?

Throughout the DCAU, we learn and see Lois Laine has had "several partners", including "Boyscout", Clark.

Specifically, she states "we dated", in reference to Lex Luthor.

We also know she dated Bruce Wayne, and they quite possibly banged, during the events of "Worlds Finest". She was actually considering moving to Gotham, before she learned his identity as "Batman".

Now, despite these being brief relationships, I have to remind you: It's Lois Laine.

I cant, not see her being attentive and even making notes about anyone and everyone, especially these powerful people. Its her own interests, and shes got a possible story to sell.

My general question for fellow fans:

1. Did she ever tell Superman anything she learned about her prior partners, especially because they would be potential threats to her true love, Superman?

2. Does it not even matter, because Superman could learn it himself?

3. Did she even have enough time to learn anything of value, due to her short time with them?

4. Is Superman potentially "too pure or unserstanding" to ask, or even listen if she offered "some dirt" on them?

Just something i always thought was interesting.

Let me know your thoughts!

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Casually Comics has a video on Max from Batman Beyond. How and why she was created and the controversy surrounding the character from both fans and writers.

It's quite informative. Also, it's 33 minutes.

For me I really loved how right off the bat episode one showing Joker can fight hand to hand with Batman compared to other versions where he can't get a punch in except for the Batman Beyond movie with Terry. I love how over the course of the whole show all the villians are capable of combat its such a nice change of pace even Penguin can fight and they make all the characters important

We all know the super iconic episodes from STATIC SHOCK. However we never got to see an episode about richie coming out or his experiences as a closet gay man. If they were allowed to actually make an episode about that. Does anyone have an idea how it would've been done and would it have made big impact?

I like seeing the cool suits and characters not used much in other films or shows. But otherwise its a straight to DVD or Blu-ray watch.
