D'oh! Thanks Bart 'ol son...

Sorry for creating a double thread there, mods... (that's what you get if you start yapping without using your eyes to search...

)

Thanks... but my question still hasn't been answered yet. Nobody knows when the EXACT DATE (and time) of the season premiere is? I have yet to watch a single episode of JLA so I don't wanna miss it!

Hope it's as good as Batman: The Animated Series... I was kinda disappointed with the way Batman Beyond went, nice start to the whole tale but somehow it lost its edge on me.

By the way... somewhat related but out of the topic. Is there any word that WB is gonna release Batman: TAS in full-season DVD boxed sets?

This is a great series... I've seen about 20 episodes already... the writing is very good as well, it's not just cartoons for kids... Flash is funny!

Same here. I really loved that particular scene (forgot which ep) when Batman intimidated one bad guy into spilling the beans. Not all of Superman's and Wonder Woman's muscling did the trick. Then Bats just whispered something in the guy's ear, and the guy yells, "Ok, Ok! I'll talk!"

Wonder Woman turns to Superman and asks, "Did you hear what Batman said?" Superman sighs, "Yes." Wonder Woman presses, "What was it?"

Superman looks at Batman: "You wouldn't want to know."

Now, that scene captures the Bats for me!

He should have added "WITH salt."

That's the episode featuring Aquaman - The Enemy Below. The character he was "interrogating" is Deadshot. I saw the episode earlier today and boy was I shocked! The storyline's pretty intense (and not exactly for children), the action sequences are superb, and the characterization is dead-on (most of the time).

My favorite character in the animated series is Hawkgirl - I loved her in the In Blackest Night storyarc!

"That's the episode featuring Aquaman "

I caught The Tick on early morning Star World, and it was so durned funny--this time, The Tick is being psychoanalyzed, so he isn't available when all the ants in the world decide to take over. So who comes in instead--a bunch of has-been heroes that are dead ringers for the Justice League.

I vividly remember one of the superheroes was this marine boy who only had powers in the water--so they had to carry him around in his own inflatable pool! At a certain point, they decided, to hell with it, and dumped him and his pool on the floor--if he wanted to escape the attacking ants, he was on his own.

...watching the 3rd episode of the 1st season seemed somewhat of a letdown for me. First two episodes were great and I eagerly anticipated for the conclusion of the first story arc.. ended up somewhat disappointed in it.

Writing somewhat became inconsistent (maybe not inconsistent, but they rushed up so many things that they didn't care to explain it anymore) just to get an ending.

Here are some of my complaints... How was Superman able to use his heat vision to cut up the "mud" to set himself and the others free when he wasn't able to do that before Batman reversed the "fluid" in the alien machine with his thingamajig? (the writers can always claim that something happened to the chemical properties of the mud when Batman screwed up the machine)... Another thing that still puzzles me was how the heck did Batman get that thingamajig when he was supposed to be trapped inside the machine and only noticing the "weakness" when they were about to enter the machine? If he knew the weakness early on via his space station... why didn't he use the device against the aliens early on? Even if J'onn J'onzz was able to only cover him telepathically, how could he have escaped those blasts from the aliens when he was surrounded?

I think that's the problem with writing super-hero scripts... it's hard to make things as consistent, unlike the more "realistic" Batman: The Animated Series where they only dealt with one lead character (with no super powers for that matter).

Even though... I'll still watch this series just for the Flash-GL team-up scenes, and of course... for that Amazonian who never looked this awesome before!

Woohooo! Hope they include Kid Flash and Wonder Girl to complete the George Perez line-up!

Here's the Teen Titans lineup:

1. Robin, The Boy Wonder (team leader)
2. Raven
3. Cyborg
4. Starfire
5. Beast Boy (Changeling)

Curiously... no Donna Troy.

The art is a lot more "kiddy" than the Batman, Superman and JLA toons. It's ok, but their rendition of Cyborg looks awful.

SiCkBoY · « **Reply #44 on:** Dec 21, 2002 at 03:21 AM »

I'm still wondering why they decided to put John Stewart in the JL lineup. Is it that important to have a token black guy? Nevermind the fact that this GL has the personality of a robot. What's worse, they already have the Martian Manhunter to cover that ground. Either Hal or Kyle would make a better GL and a more interesting addition to the team.

Personally my vote would go to Guy Gardner. What fun that would be with him and Bats in the same room, huh?

That would be a hoot!!!! I don't know if any of you guys have seen it but look for the Justice League comic book where Guy challenged Batman to a brawl in the Hall of Justice mano y mano without his power ring and Batman knocked him out in one punch!!! Even the Leaguers who were there were laughing!

Yeah and Diana will have her hands full trying to fend off not just Flash now but GG as well, hehe. I can hear it now:

"I wanna be on her team."
"No, I wanna be on her team."
"No, I wanna be on her team."
and so on...

I remember this from Calvin and Hobbes tuloy:

Hobbes: Is Amazon Girl's super power the ability to squeeze that figure into that suit?
Calvin: Nah, they all can do that.

Justice League

I like the Old Superfriends better, you know.. the cartoons Ch.9 used to show during early morning Saturdays. Justice League of america vs. The Legion of Doom. I'll take that any time over this new series, the so-called "Justice League".

It's not that I hate it, but somehow its not what I expect. Superman has less powers and seem to act like a wimp most of the time. Wonder woman changed her name and although she retains her powers, she oftens acts like a prom queen. The Flash has became the group clown, all zing and no sting. Green Lantern lost that original Hal Jordan suave appeal, he is more smug now probably because he became black. And what is the deal with the Martian? Does this series need an alien guy to prop its ratings?

Batman is the only one who has managed to retain his character. The loner, mysterious bat can still kick butt in this series.

Heck, I'll even take Batman Beyond over this Justice League. Terry McGinnis can surely kick their super asses anytime!

Not meaning to justify the cartoon series but...

I think they toned down Superman's powers a bit so he wouldn't stand-out (or save the world) most of the time. He could still do superhuman feats but most of his abilities are played down probably to give the other leaguers a chance to shine.

Quote

Ummm sorry but what name did she change?

In any case, she IS (technically) a princess who grew up in an isolated island without any contact with men so her prissy attitude's actually justified IMO.

Quote

While I would've wanted to see Hal Jordan in the series rather than John Stewart, if they made The Flash less comic-like, the two characters would be redundant (not of power but in terms of characterization probably).

Quote

And what is the deal with the Martian? Do this series need an alien guy to prop its ratings?

The inclusion of the Martian Manhunter IMO is a classic move as he is actually one of the original 7 members of the league.

As far as I can recall, he was never featured in the old cartoon series so it's a treat for me to see him in full animated glory

Quote

Yep - this one I wholeheartedly agree! I think the reason why they retained his attitude is because fans have grown to embrace this portrayal of the character (because of the 90s Batman animated series) rather than the campy one.

The old Superfriends cartoon is great but I think the new series can hold up it's own against it. Perhaps the only aspect that the new series has over the old one is the opening credits
