Why did he allow his name to be used in JLU's "For the Man Who Has Everything," but not this? I would've thought he'd have allowed it on JLU out of respect for Bruce Timm, who was likewise involved with this. Incidentally, I know it's his personal policy not to be credited on adaptations, but the IMDb should still credit him, even if they note that he's uncredited.

The changes they made to his story were poor ones. It works much, MUCH better as he originally wrote it.

Plus, I think it was a mistake to make Mogo "real." The original story worked better because you couldn't tell whether or not it was just a tall tale told to a greenhorn GL to get her goat.

Mogo is real in the comics universe, though.

Because he liked JLU's version. It's that simple.
