Well this is comic related, and you know how much of that stuff I hear about ahead of time. Given they did Batman: The Animated Series, Superman, Superfriends (and now that there's talk of Justice League), I wouldn't be surprised if we got The New Adventures of Batman (or Batman: Gotham Knights) and Batman Beyond. Here's hoping, I already have all 3 box set of Batman: The Animated Series.

I like how they tied Tim Drake/Joker's origins to Cadmus, and that Terry was a part of "Project Batman Beyond." Oh, and did you catch how the ep ends the same way the first ep of Batman:TAS began. Terry flying through Gotham past a police carrier just like Man-Bat did in the first ep way back when.

Loved the Finale, since the whole Terry/Bruce deal, hatted that there was no League Closure...

in some ways it's closure for the whole WB animating the DCU...after all it started with Batman...why not end with Batman?

you do realize there will be another season, right?

hell frickin yes!

JLU season 3 (technically the 5th season overall) will debut in Sept

Well, the last JSU episode I saw involved them talking about dismantling the JL satelite, and opening an "embassy" on earth at the end of the episode. (I'm probably behind everyone else on this, since I really don't get to see JSU a lot.)

BTW, Nice to see ya back Big Grim!!! Missed ya around here!

I didn't even catch that but your right (I also have the box sets I love these cartoons) thats so freggin cool. Man I wish Batman Beyond was still around.

season 5 information. Sounds really cool, we get to see the Legion of Doom and even Carter Hall. I wonder if he'll be the new Hawkman.

Legion of DOOM!!!  The legoin was cool in the Challenge of the Superfriends so I am interested in seeing how this is going to play out.
I love good news.

I thought Superfriends was lame, but if you love the Legion of Doom, you really should check out this new 12-issue maxiseries called Justice. It's done by Alex Ross, so you know it's good.

Justice

Yeah, I understand why some think Superfriends is lame.  I have season 1 on dvd
and I was laughing out loud during most of it.  I find it funny.  On the other
hand, Justice looks pretty interesting.  Thanks 4 the link

All in all, just another 2 more weeks! I can't wait!

The only problem is I hear JLU will be taking an extended vacation from CN's schedule.

I watched the and to be honest it was bad, soppy and underwhelming 

uh huh, and why is that. It would help if you gave a reason 


it always goes on hiatus before the new eps come out. Sept 17 is when season 5 begins. They'll air the first 4 eps in September, and then go on hiatus until January. They did that with season 3 and 4 as well. Season 3 took a bit of a break before they aired the last 5 eps of teh season and aired the first 3 eps of season 4, went on break, and then aired the rest. It's a common trend.

Sorry, I meant the last episode wasn'y all that good to me. I mean we have all this character development with characters like Superman and Green Arrow but then we're thrown this mushy crap with Terry MacGuiness?

why not, Batman Beyond was and still is incredibly popular among long time fans of Batman: The Animated Series, Superman, and the New Adventures of Batman. Most of what took place in those cartoons (especially Superman) was carried over into JLU, so why not the same for Batman Beyond. It ended without any closure, not so much as a finale (unlike Superman with "Legacy"). If Batman and Superman continuity lives on in JLU, then why not Batman Beyond? Long time fans loved seeing Batman (Terry), Bruce, and Warbird in the "Once and Future Thing." That did so well in ratings, they decided to revisit that continuity with "Epilogue." And again, longtime Batman: TAS fans loved that ep. So many references (Return of the Joker, Mask of the Phantasm, even On Leather Wings). I thought it was kinda cool that Terry is connected to Cadmus and Waller. I'm not saying you have to like it, I'm just telling you that there are a lotta reasons why longtime Timmverse fans (as in Bruce Timm) loved this ep. I for one, hope we see more of adult Terry 

I really liked the Batman Beyond episode, just because I really liked Batman Beyond and was upset when it ended, but this whole Cadmus / What Does It Mean To Be A Super Hero With Big Guns thing doesn't really do it for me.  I guess I kind of felt like when I had those kind of story cravings, I'd read Powers or Planetary or The Authority and stuff.  I was hoping for more just random saving the earth from Justice League, kind of like when I read Amazing Spider-Man, I'm not looking for huge drama with soul-edifying meaning or anything, I just want to see Spider-Man swing around and duke it out with some cartoonishly overpowered badguys while spouting funny dialogue.  I just found the whole "We luv you guys!" conclusion to the recent season just kind of corny.  My wife kept laughing from the other room at some of the dialogue.

Probably not a common opinion, since I can imagine that saving the earth over and over again would get dull too.  It just didn't feel right to me somehow.  Too much of a Hollywood ending, I guess, which goes directly against what I was saying above...  Hmm.

They should have ended it with th edestruction of Cadamus. Yes, I get that saving the world time after time can get repetitive, but  I found the last episode sort of anti-climatic.

the whole Cadmus story was very reminiscent of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.

I just saw that ep where supergirl get's cloned and I wonder how many parent's were horrified when the scope's view is filled by Supergirl's chest?  Or when Green arrow talked about his own dreams?

well this show is geared more towards older fans, why else have guys like Vibe and Steel or Hawk and Dove. And it is on in the late evening. Batman: TAS was much darker and grittier. Before Batman Begins came out, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was the best Batman movie. Watch it if you haven't seen it, it's still available on DVD 

Well, the point is we have kid's watching this show too you know, and you can never satisfy the parents.

they're more concerned about pleasing longtime Justice League fans than they are about pleasing over-protective parents.

True, but my point is the over-protective parents probably acted as though the world was about to end.
And let's not think how bad they were when the SG and her clone's costumes start to get ripped 

Funny episode though. Especially the question singing as he breaks in.

but Power Girl's costume always gets conveniently ripped like that. It was very true to form

Lol. I imagine the animators had fun

and besides, do you know how "mature" Power Girl really is? 
They were really holding back 

Judging by bodily proportions in JL, there's probably more than one pervert in the animator team 

last night we got to see the debut of the Legion of Doom and Hawkman. New season is great so far, can't wait til next week.

Legion of Doom members include Grodd, Luthor, Dr. Polaris, the Key, Brainiac, Dr. Destiny, Black Manta, Gentleman Ghost, Heat Wave, Major Force, Mirror Master, Rampage, Silver Banshee, Kanjar Ro, Star Sapphire, Cheetah, Blockbuster, KGBeast, Clock King, Metallo, Livewire, Toyman, Bizarro, Giganta, Parasite, Sinestro, Evil Star, Black Mass, Atomic Skull, Rose, the Thinker, Killer Frost, Sonar, Major Disaster, Weather Wizard

When is JLU on?  I can never find it.  They replaced it with Naruto.

How long until they start with the repeats?

Your right...superman is just WAY too hunky.


EDIT: When was the first ep. out? ARGH! I can't believe I missed it.

Likewise. I was wondering when they were going to introduce Carter Hall! (or Katar, if you're Thanagarian!)

As for the Legion of Doom, interesting idea with Grod leading the pack and Luthor waiting in the wings to take him out. Kinda like Starscream and Megatron, only Grod and Luthor are both smarter, and they don't make the same dumb mistakesas the other two! (I like how Luthor has that "I don't care if you know that I hate your guts" attitude towards Grod.)

it's on saturday nights at 10 pm (e/p). So 9 pm if you're in teh midwest like me.  I don't know when they're gonna do repeats again, since they haven't posted anything beyond this coming saturday online.

I was blown away this weekend when I went to look on the DVR and found two new JLU episodes waiting for me.  I had heard rumors circulating that the show had been canceled, but thankfully it was not.

These first two episodes were really great, the origin of Hawkman, and now the introduction of the Legion of Doom.  I cant express in words how happy this makes me, JLU is one of the best cartoons on CN right now and am happy to see that they kept it around for another season.

Oh and the Hall of Justice, looks badass. 

yeah, there were a lot of rumors like that but I knew they were wrong. I know guys who have connections to the shows creators, I knew the show was coming back.  Too many people assumed that they way it ended (with Superman reconstructing the league, and a Batman Beyond finale) that the show was ending.  But it's not, so breathe easy.  Really looking forward to this season, just take a look at what they have in store.  And I can't wait to see more of the Legion of Doom.

  I haven't seen the hall of justice yet. does anyone have any pics?

Grim. I was kidding about the repeats. CN has/had a habit of showing a few episodes than a couple of months of repeats.  I hope they are not doing that anymore.

reread my post, they haven't listed any new eps beyond this coming weekend.  So there probably will be repeats.

Luthor's only working for Grodd becuse Grodd has the last piece of Brainiac, something  that luthor would do anything to get his hands on

I missed it this past weekend cuz I was at a wedding. Any of you catch it?

Green Lantern, Stargil, S.T.R.I.P.E., and Super Gil(sporting a new costume) crash into the artic and end up in a sowrds and sorcary Dinosaur world inside the planet.

Wonder Women went to a peace confrence discusing Global warming(she asked Jhon Jones to help) but the legion of doom(including Black Manta) attacked in order to steal the Imortal Viking frozen in ice. Jhon saves the day and desides to quit the leage in order to connect with humanity.

he did that during Grant Morrison's run on JLA right before the World War III arc, and again after teh Obsidian Age arc when he tried to conquer his fire weakness.

Both of these episodes were ok, I didnt really get into the one about the Viking ship, it seemed almost thrown together as if it was there just to set up Martian Manhunters decision to leave the JL. 

The episode prior to that with Supergirl, and Stargirl, was excellent, not at first it seemed a little slow, but the play between Supergirl and Stargirl was the best.  Especially the ending with the two of them flying off comparing their lives.  CLASSIC. 

"enough power to light up the Solar System and I still have a 10pm curfew" Stargirl. 

"I lived on a farm.... for THREE YEARS!"

"IN KANSAS"

I thought the beginning was pretty funny, with al the rabid SuperGirl fangirls.  "So what? My dad's a mecha." 
"Pfft, mecha is SO last year."

I like how they're saying how the superheroes have fans. first, we have hawkgirl with several hundred message boars dedicated to her, then we have a Supergirl convention. what's next?
