Well since were still waiting on new eps, I have some good news of the DVD front (in  case you didn't allready know I know Grim did)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...3&link_code=as1
Finally I can't wait for this as I never really saw all of the eps and love this cartoon. Also as me and Grim were talking about Batman Beyond being on DVD here it is

Man I love this   . Only bad part is I just got Vol 3 of Batman and still need Vol. 4 and Superman Vol.2 man my wallets hurting. Now if only we could get the 90 Spider-Man cartoon(in order) and the X-Men cartoon on DVD I'll have all my favorite cartoons on DVD.

damn, that is some damn good news. I wouldn't mind them collecting X-Men: Evolution as well on DVD box sets. Oh, and the ABC saturday morning cartoon of Sonic the Hedgehog (the dark and gritty one, not the stupid moronic one that tried to be funny). New eps of JLU should be starting again soon. I hope.

This is awesome! I just got the second season of Superman: TAS and it was a good deal.

Has anyone seen any new eps of JLU since 'On a Distant Shore'  the ep with the Viking Prince and Jonn leaving the team?

That was months ago and i'm still waiting on new eps.  There any Justice League forums around?

Ed

I would love X-Men Evolution also. I bought all the single dvd's but even though they said that they were going to finish the show they never did so I only got season 1 and 2, but man the final season (which was one season but they split it into two parts to prolong the show) was the best. Also ironically enof yesterday while playing Sonic Rush on my DS I was thinking about thouse old Sonic cartoons and man was that gritty one cool (which seemed more geared to teens), the other one was just stupid (which was deffinatly greared towards pre school kids).

Nope, I remember that one too.  I was all excited cause it took a short hiatas and came back with 3 new eps. and now I've been waiting and waiting...  However I still have Tivo setup to record JLU when it comes on.  So hopefully I won't miss any of the new episodes.

What really pissed me off about the JLU taking a break was that I missed the last parts to 3 part eps.  The time traveling and another that I can't remember...

finally, we get an update on just what's going on with JLU over at newsarama. Glad to here new eps are still on the way.

Phew, was abit concerned there.

finally got Batman:TAS volume 4 DVD set. Now I have them all. Can't wait for those Batman Beyond and Justice League box sets.

That's good news. I love those shows.

Finally, new episode tonight!

Flash and Substance - Orion attempts to understand Flash's antics as Wally and Batman battle four of Flash's rogues that attack the museum that is opening in his honor.

Im not sure what the European schedule is...

I loved seeing the Rogues in this ep. Funny thing, Mark Hamill played teh Trickster in the live action Flash TV show, and does the voice here in JLU. Not only did we see Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Captain Boomerang, and Trickster, but we see Weather Wizard and the Top early on at the bar, and Abra Cadabra and Fiddler also appear at the bar. At the museum, we see statues of Grodd and the Turtle as well.  Good stuff 

so are the uk and us bassically showing the same episodes roughly at the same time cause i saw the flash one about 2-3 weeks ago. 

( missed it! I got ot know...was Mirror Master Scottish?

I think you're right, the UK schedule is about 2-3 weeks ahead of the US schedule.

Mirror Master had a very faint scottish accent, you couldn't even really tell that much. Trickster was a laugh riot though.

We get them before America? Wow!
-pity Im never home to watch 'em

I liked how they had Orion vs Captain Cold and Batman vs Captain Boomerang. I would have liked to see more boomerang/batarang tossing between those two.

I'm really looking forward to the ep "Patriot Act," which features the original Seven Soldiers of Victory: Green Arrow, S.T.R.I.P.E., Stargirl, Crimson Avenger, Vigilante, Shining Knight, and a guest appearance by an adult Speedy.

And the finale sounds killer.

yeah, i was wondering if/when he'd show up again

ok, I got to see a whole buncha eps that haven't aired in the US that my buds downloaded. Part one of the two part finale is so friggin sweet, I cannot wait to see part two.

didn't know this thread was here...

I caught the past two weeks and to say the least, its great.
the Flash tribute (nice introduction to Linda btw) was good and this week was just as good. Nice touch with Luthor turning into a bald gorilla "Why am I not surprised?"

but Grim. throw a bone. Do we see Kyle Rayner again or no?

Ive seen al the eps save the final, and I havent seen him

ditto, haven't seen him. Which is too bad.

Last weeks ep was sweet, but too bad Aquaman's no longer around to face off against Black Mant..., I mean "Devil Ray" 
Good grief, I'm so sick of these friggin embargos. Rumor is that's why Bruce Timm is leaving Warner Bros animation after this season. He's sick and tired of all the limitations on characters he can and can't use, especially the Batman characters since he's the one who breathed new life into them in Batman:TAS.

Back on topic, that was pretty hardcore when Deadman shot Devil Ray while he was in Batman's body. Bats looked really, REALLY, pissed. Glad to see some spotlight on the Trinity once more.

I saw that part and it reminded me of the openner for Batman Beyond. The fact that it was his hand that pulled the trigger brings some of the modern paranoia about himself. and I caught a comercial shot. Kara's wearing a modern SG costume now.. cute.

um....no

Kara doesnt wear the classic blue shirt/red skirt scheme in the comics, she wears a blue shirt and a blue skirt. i was hoping that it was just a quick color error on their part, but it looks to me like they are taking her back to the classic costume instead of updating her to the modern costume

they've updated her costume. For the new season they decided to make her costume resemble the way it is in Jeph Loeb's Supergirl comic. They changed her hair as well. The new look debuted in the third ep this season, the one with Warlord.  Timm thought it was time for a change, she's had the same costume since the Superman series. It was cool when Linda Danvers adopted the same costume in the comic though. Anyway, other characters have had subtle costume changes this season. S.T.R.I.P.E. has a new suit of armor, and Crimson Avenger's look has been somewhat modified as well.

I loved the last Ep. It's about time Lex stepped up and said more or less (to Grodd) F U your a talking Munky (lamest mastermind ever) and I'm M Fing Lex Luther die beeeeaaacth. I love that since and also how no one else dared question him. I allways thought "A talking Munky is so lame and why does Lex take his crap" well no more. O and Grim what do you mean about limitations with the Bat characters, is that why none of them are in the socitey. I did know about the Auqa Man Black Manta thing but this the the first I heard of this, is it cuz of that lame ass excuse for a Batman cartoon "The Batman" (I hate that cartoon it's total crap).

Yeah, there's an embargo on Batman characters. Since "The Batman" is out, JLU cannot use any Batman characters that appear in that show because it would "confuse audiences"  .  That's why we haven't seen any Batman villains since JLU started. We get Batman villains like the Clock King instead of people that were actually in the Legion of Doom, like the Riddler, Scarecrow, and Poison Ivy. Timm was really pissed when that happened too. Just check this out for more info.

Bat-Embargo

and the fact that legacy characters are being stinted show other signs. When looking at members of the JSA as Leaguers (Star Girl, Mr Terrific and cameos by Captain Marvel and Dr Fate), you can't help but miss Jay Garrick and Alan Scott. Non JSA related legacies like the Green Lantern Corps too; we saw Kyle once, we've seen Kilowag maybe three times since JL started airing. The Flash episode I was kinda hoping for some back story. The blonde chief of the CSI lab reminded me of Barry Allen, and I was almost afraid that Wally would have addressed him by that name (if he did then the JLU vs DCU continuity would be in a bigger crisis).

I really have hopes for the JL toon. but this stinting and short handing of things really does make things irritable.
I remember an article in Wizard that Timm talks about how it all might end. He even said that it could all end with one season. From what you're saying Grimm, I think they lucked out at two.

what do you mean?

The 'average' lifespan of a superhero cartoon show according to Timm nowadays is one season. JLU he admits has the formula to last only one season, but it got lucky to get a second one.

yeah, 2 seasons of Justice League plus 3 seasons of JLU. 5 seasons is a long time for any kids show these days. I was impressed X-Men: Evolution lasted as long as it did (final season with Apocalypse was the best).

And don't forget about these
Batman Beyond Season 1
Justice League Season 1
both are set to be released March 21.

Loved the Flash episode, now I have 2 more to catch up on.

Can't wait for the Batman Beyond boxed set.

I don't get it.  Grodd said that his ray would rewrite human DNA into gorilla DNA.  (Worst. Plan. Ever.)  Anyway, when the ray went off, Superman turned into a gorilla.  (A gorilla with Superman powers, it looked like.)  Shouldn't he have stayed Kryptonian?

thats what i was thinkin as i watched that episode, if he had said something about turning all non ape animal life into apes, then it would have made sense, otherwise superman shouldnt have turned

this weeks ep featured Weiling in his form as "The General" as seen during Grant Morrison's run on JLA. Also loved the nod to the Seven Soldiers of Victory (Green Arrow, Speedy, S.T.R.I.P.E., Stargirl, Shining Knight, Vigilante, and Crimson Avenger).

I'm guessing Kryptonian DNA is similiar enough to Human DNA for it ot be altered.

this past weeks episode was amusing, Lex and Flash swapped minds. Watching Lex go nuts with Flash's powers was cool, and he picked up on em almost immediately. He even took off Flash's mask to see who he really is, hoping to use it against him.

*Lex pulls off mask*
"I have no idea who this is"

And Flash trying to keep his cool and always referring to himself in the third person was humorous as well.

Next week, Roulette restarts Metabrawl, this time with an all-female fight card made up of mind-controlled Justice Leaguers.

NEW DVD news, Justice League season 2 and Superman Vol. 3 to be released on June 20   

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0603/02/index.htm

I can't wait I love these shows.

You forgot some of the funniest lines.

"You gonna wash your hands"
"No. Cuz I'm evil"

"You should rest come hear"
"That's not restfull"

"Your so attentive and enthusiastic"

This ep. was so funny and man do I love this show.

First sorry for the triple post. Don’t know how to make different quotes in the same post. But anyhoo I do know a little bit about why X-Men Evolution lasted as long as it did and why Cartoons in general seemed to last longer back in the day (some info is a little fuzzy as it was years ago that I read all this information on how Cartoons are made, so if anyone feels some of my info is wrong please feel free to correct it). Back in the day cartoons were contracted out for the long run (such as evolution). What this mean was a channel would for instance (I’ll use Spider-Man as I know the correct amount of eps.) contract a cartoon such as Spider-Man for 55 Eps. What this meant was that the studio doing Spider-Man was contracted (locked in) to do at most 55 eps. of Spider-Man and Fox could cancel the contract at anytime. The studio would continue to work on Spider-Man making new eps. and seasons until they got word of cancellation. This worked out for the channel ordering the shows because they had a set team for a long period of time on a show and kept the turnaround on eps. higher, it also made it easier to continue popular shows or even just semi popular shows. If the show lasted the full length of the contract (such as Spider-Man, X-Men, and X-Men Evolution) the channel or another channel (such as Batman) could renew the contract or pick it up. The problem with this is by the time the channel could make a decision on renewing a contract the studio and writers (so forth) have more than likely moved on to different shows (such is the case with Evolution) and it becomes next to impossible to continue a show. I say next to impossible because it has been done before with the original X-Men cartoon. That’s why the last couple of eps have totally different animation and some different voice actors. Well back to the point Evolution was contracted for the amount of eps it ran for and was not renewed because most of the people working on the show had buy the time the final half of the 3rd season ran had moved on. Most shows (but not all) now a days a done season buy season and that’s why you don’t see shows lasting as long. O and Transformers side now Beast Machines was also a contracted show (26 eps.). Well I’m done with the knowledge sharing for today hope it was at lest interesting.

thanks for the info. Any news on Batman Beyond vol 2 DVD?

No news on Beyond yet. I'm really looking forward to it (vol. 1 that is). I think the only reason Justic Jeague season 2 is coming out so fast is because of the Superman movie. O and no prob about the info I love sharing anything I may know that someone might like to know.

I heard there is a Superman animated movie coming out on DVD that is supposed to have Lex Luthor and Brainiac in it. Word is Clancy Brown is not providing the voice of Luthor. That's all I know, I have no idea if this is supposed to be in-continuity with Superman: TAS or JLU.

I'm glad they're finally collecting Justice League and Batman Beyond. The first two seasons of Justice League were spectacular, each arc was like a mini movie.  Batman Beyond was great in that the story was very grown-up, and I loved the soundtrack in each episode.

The DVD's seem like they're taking forever to come out though. I mean, it'll be a long time before we see JLU DVD's at this rate.

not really, JL season 1 is Mar 21, season 2 is June 20. That's 3 months apart. That's about the same time frame we've seen for the Batman and Superman box sets. I think we'll see JLU season 1 before the end of the year.

march 11

they spent most of the episode in bludhaven....and the whole episode i kept waiting for nightwing to make an appearance and then only a shodowy figure cameo of him  i felt so ripped of especially since they gave the brief appearance of him they would have been better off to have not shown him at all

any one else dissapointed?
