I laughed, but I'm not proud of it.It's too bad I have to work Saturday mornings and don't have a DVR so I'll probably never get to watch any of the shows!

There's a REALLY funny bit in the first episode where Hal and Kilowog are talking to a GL they meet on the frontiers of space. Hal asks the guy about his secret identity and the GL has no idea what he's talking about. So Kilowog starts making fun of the fact that Hal wears a mask so nobody recognizes him in space.

I just watched an old episode of Justice League Unlimited where Amazo returns. Luthor: Wherever you're taking me won't be safe enough. But I know just the place * (Bald) Luthor takes them to a hide out with a barber shop facade * Iron Guy: Gotta hand it to you, Luthor. NO ONE would think to look for you here  Why the hell isn't there anything as well written as Justice League nowadays

So what's everyone's opinion on the new movie (Justice Leauge: Doom)? I thought the voice acting was great but aside from that, meh! I haven't read the source material on this one so I can't judge on that but this one has got to be the worst one so far and that's coming from someone that enjoyed all the other animated movies. It suffers from a lot a tell and no show..especially in scenes when nobody is getting punched in the face....and when they're not getting punched in the face the animation is slow, and limited. There is a scene inpaticular I couldn't stop laughing at where 3 not moving cops smashed together on screen are explaining their situation to green lantern and one just cocks his gun out of nowhere. It looks ridiculous. there are alot of scenes like this. Cyborg just seems kinda wedged into this movie...but Cyborg has seemed to be kind of wedged everywhere lately so whatever. There is a great dramatic scene involving Superman that's probably the best part of the movie, you'll know it when you see it. Some of the fight scenes are good and there are some funny lines here or there but with the quality of the last few films (Batman Year One in paticular.) this one was a real let down.

Doom kind of sucked! And not even holding it against Tower of Babel, which isn't really that hot of a story to begin with. Really you should look at it up against Starcrossed which is basically the gold standard of "JLA betrayed by one of their own." It's it's not even close to as good. The script is clumsy and even as a JLA fight scene delivery vehicle it's not as good as Crisis on Two Earths. There's not even a short! I love the shorts! And I watched the preview for Superman vs The Elite and what did they do to the Doug Mahnke art oh god everyone looks like Ben 10 characters.

Jason Ray posted:So what's everyone's opinion on the new movie (Justice Leauge: Doom)? I feel the same way, more or less. It's not a very accurate adaption of Tower of Babel, outside of Batman having contingency plans for JL members going rogue (and said plans were different in this adaption, even for the heroes that were present in the original story) and the outcome of the scene at the end. I'm not opposed to taking liberties with a source material but the way they inserted stuff from Tower of Babel felt lazy and half-assed. It certainly wasn't the worst thing ever but I can't see myself ever watching it again.

Has there been any word on whether the shorts on this weeks DC Nation debut will be available online? Maybe on iTunes or Amazon or something? I really want to see the Super Best Friends Forever shorts but don't have cable.

I thought Doom was pretty terrible and one of the worst animated movies DC has done. The great voice cast just couldn't save it at all.

Doom wasn't great, but not quite the jumbled messes that were Superman: Doomsday and Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. The blu-ray is worth it for the forty-minute documentary on Dwayne McDuffie though. Plus, I liked seeing Wild Cards (one of my favorite episodes from Justice League) in HD.

That's very corny, but I still did like the ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN visual gag. I think one thing I find disappointing is that in the comics, Fury didn't really want to be a mentor. He was just trying to figure out the best way to wrangle Peter. The subtext of their relationship is that Peter ended up looking up to Fury and believing that his mentor is a much better man than he actually is. It's sad that they seem to be adapting one aspect of Ultimate Spider-Man and subtracting what made it interesting.

The show centers around Peter and a group of other young heroes in training. It's more of a fun team up type show. And it has a lot of visual gags and fourth wall breaking like what we saw there. I didn't think that clip was horrible at all. It was pretty much exactly what I've been expecting of the show.

I'm aware. They are adapting the relationship between Peter and Fury that is pretty exclusive to Ultimate Spider-Man. From that scene, Fury's depiction and their relationship are pretty boring compared to what it was in the comic.

Yeah its pretty unfortunate that as far as I am aware, Disney doesn't own a network that targets the same demographics as ultimate spiderman does. It would have been awesome to just have a straight adaptation of the comic book series.

Was the thing in the briefcase at the end of that episode supposed to be something we would recognise? Looked like part of a very small Starro to me. That was an ok episode, I think Klarion might have the most annoying voice I've ever heard though which made him not getting the poo poo kicked out of him disappointing.

I need to stop expecting Justice League Unlimited quality writing in Young Justice.  Oooh the light....oooh a shell, how mysterious. Or at least it would be, if we hadn't forgotten about the stupid arc over the last 4 months of the haiatus. There's just no characterisation to make any of it interesting. JLU had some memorable and fantastic infinitely-quotable characters. This just has a lot of people sooshed together with no personality. i.e. Lex Luthor: Do you really think you could come here and beat me all by yourself? Amanda Waller: Well yeah, I did  . But on the off chance I couldn't...*Justice league appears* Martian Manhunter: [to Luthor] So much for your image as a benevolent businessman. This is the end of an era. Lex Luthor: The end of your era, maybe. Hawkgirl: I'm used to being thanked when I save someone. Batman: I'm not used to being saved. The Question: Reaching back to ancient Egypt, there's been a single cabal of powerful individuals directing the course of human history. But the common man prefers to believe they don't exist, which aids their success. Supergirl: [reading newspaper clippings] Global warming, military upheavals in the third world, actors elected to public office... Green Arrow: The spread of coffee bars, germs outpacing antibiotics, and boy bands? Come on! Who would gain from all this? The Question: Who, indeed?  Green Arrow Hold your horses! No one asked for more help. This whole trip might just prove the kid shouldn't eat nachos before bed. The Question: Peanut butter sandwiches. Supergirl: How did y-- what, do you go through my trash?! The Question: Please... I go through everyone's trash. Batman: Who are you people? Amanda Waller: That's a national security matter. And if I were you, I wouldn't probe the situation too closely... rich boy. Dr. Fate: Solomon Grundy's grave is empty. Aquaman: Tell me where to find those responsible, then dig more graves. Solomon Grundy: Grundy thinks he is going away now... Hawkgirl: No! Just hang on! Solomon Grundy: Do you think Grundy's soul is waiting for him? Hawkgirl: Grundy, I don't believe... yes. Yes, it's waiting for you. Solomon Grundy: Then... Grundy gets his reward. [dies] Superman: Self-help books? You don't seem the type. Vandal Savage: I read whatever I can find. Anyway, I've got issues, what with my destroying the Earth and all. Superman: Why are all of you defending Captain Marvel? Batman: We like him. He's... sunny. Shayera: Can you even see what you're shooting at? Vigilante: Nope - just keepin' 'em honest. Vigilante: Hey, Vix, ain't this supposed to be your territory? Use some of your animal tricks to give us a leg up. Vixen: What makes you think I know anything about the jungle? I live in a loft in Chelsea. Amanda Waller: You know better than to dwell on the past. General Eiling: I'm talking about right now. The Justice League is still the greatest threat to global security. Amanda Waller: I used to believe that too, but remember; we used to say the same thing about the Soviets. Remember, our enemy is never as evil as we imagine... And maybe we're never quite as good. General Eiling: Nuts. Don't tell me the bleeding hearts in Congress got to you. Amanda Waller: I'd eat them alive. Doctor Polaris: Ahem. Flash-in-Lex: What? Doctor Polaris: You gonna wash your hands? Flash-in-Lex: No! 'Cause I'm evil! here's what I can remember from the  characters of Young Justice after 19 episodes:M'Gann: helooooooooooooooo MEeeaghaaaahhhn (all that's missing is the canned laughter) Superboy: NRRRAAAAARGH! (flips pancakes, looks emo) NRRRAAAAARGH! (switches remote control) NRRRAAAAARGH! (goes wandering about, looks emo) Kid-Flash: [stock snippy comment #5874]......[stock snippy comment #85214] Aqua-Lad: [stock stoic comment #1254.b]....[stock stoic comment #12478] Robin: "whelmed" (...really?)

Well they didn't really banish anyone, they just put everyone in another dimension. Either way there was gonna be a Justice League to come kick their rear end sooner or later. It was an alright episode, but you're gonna make people draw comparisons when Justice League did an episode very similar to it and way better written.

Well, I'm just baffled that if they have the power to do something as extraordinary as split the Earth into two dimensions, why aren't they already ruling the world? What do they need with a piece of Starro? They already have god-like powers at their disposal.

Joker: And since every good suspense show needs to have a ticking clock; here's mine! [22:51 appears on bottom left] Oh, what were you expecting from me? A round number? Its just the fact they actually tallied up the airtime until the bombs go off in the plot instead of doing random cut aways just to fit the time remaining to the scene. Also; Harley Quinn: People are so scared, it looks like they're even willing to go to Los Angeles. Edit: Yeah, I should have typed "DCAU Mark Hamill Joker". Flash and Substance had its moments too. Flash: I'll visit you in the hospital. We'll play darts...the soft kind. Trickster:  oh, and: Flash: Dude, don't forget to turn yourself in! Trickster: Got me again, Flash.

I've got to watch Justice League [Unlimited] again. The best quote in my book is Lex in Flash's body, having pulled Flash's mask off and looked in the mirror to find out his secret identity: "I have no idea who this is." On its own, the line is great, but remember this is shortly after Identity Crisis had just happened in the comics: an enormous and unnecessarily dark and convoluted event revolving around the ethics of mind-wiping villains who've discovered heroes' secret identities, leading up to Infinite Crisis. In the JLU universe it was a complete non-starter.
