In other media
Television
- In Justice League Unlimited, the character returned in the episode "Kid Stuff" where she was once more voiced by actor Olivia d'Abo. She along with her son Mordred discovered the source of earthly magic in the Amulet of First Magic. Mordred would take the relic making him more powerful than his mother and he banished Morgaine along with all adults to a parallel dimension. Once there, she encountered the Justice League who were similarly banished and forged a deal with them to defeat her son. She bypassed his spell by turning Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and John Stewart into children allowing them to return to Earth. They battled Mordred where they tricked him into aging himself into an adult. This led to his own banishment to the parallel dimension where Morgaine told Mordred that he had made a grave mistake as he had broken the eternal youth that his mother cast on him. Thus, whilst immortal, he aged into an elderly man with his spell broken allowing adults to return to Earth. Morgaine returned the Justice League to being adults and proceeded to care for Mordred now that he was a helpless old man.
- In Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Morgaine le Fey appeared as an antagonist where she appeared in the episode "Day of the Dark Knight" and was voiced by actor Tatyana Yassukovich.
