Thanks to Randy’s VCR, we managed to finally see a couple of Justice League Unlimited<\/em> episodes last night. <\/p>\n

Yes, the Monster Guitar Riffs are annoying. <\/p>\n

I looks like the main titles are actually showing scenes from the upcoming episode (gutsy, given that it’s only a half-hour ep, and it’s showing a lot of scenes). That’s made up for by the rest of the main titles being extraordinarily cheesy.<\/p>\n

One episode deals with Supergirl having some bad dreams, and, along with Green Arrow, getting an Intro to Conspiracy Theories (“Not Theories … Theory<\/em>“) from the Question (certainly one of the odder characters in the DCU, and not exactly who you’d expect the cartoon to use). Nice use of Power Girl (or at least her costume and other, ah, attributes), and a mildly entertaining ep, even if the conclusion was telegraphed about a zillion miles away.<\/p>\n

The second episode had to do with the return of Prof. Ivo’s android, who seems to be heading back to Earth to kill Lex Luthor (and, coincidentally, plots his course straight through Oa). Those looking for the Passel o’ Heroes get it here — Capt. Atom, Star Man, Rocket Red, Fire, Ice, a bunch of Green Lanterns (incl. Kyle Raynor), Dr. Fate, etc. Mostly there as cannon fodder, true, but still a kick to see. The story itself doesn’t make much sense, a muddled story of self-actualization, the reform of Luthor (sorta), and the Meaning of Life. Would have made a good two-part — or, failing that, a lot of Folks Getting Beat Up could have been snipped. The denouement, though, is worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n

Overall, JLU looks to be reasonably well done, a nice chance to flesh out the cartoon-based DCU, and a chance to see some old favorites (like GA). I look forward to (eventually) seeing more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
