Justice League of America: Season 1

I used it for myself bought it for myself despite me being at 28-year-old grow man you would think that I bought it for my kid nah bought it for myself loved it never on the DVDs now I don't need to 100% satisfied with my purchase only thing I can complain about is probably the lack of special features like in lack of episodes in commentary but I don't really care about that stuff anyway I just want to watch the show the only show I'm missing now is the Zeta Project because I have static shock on DVD all four seasons more like complain about static shock is the same complaint I have with the Justice League episode lack of special features and the fact that it's not on Blu-ray but DVD will have to do

The feature "Secret Origins" is shown as a 3 parter. Early scenes start with the DCAU's existing Batman/Superman teamwork developed in Superman: The Animated Series. Alien newcomer Martian Manhunter gathers 4 more team members, and they save the world, and decide to team up."Like a bunch of Superfriends?" gibes the Flash, poking fun at Hanna-Barbera's 1970s-80s version of the Justice League America."More like a Justice League" says Superman (who last saw flash in "Speed Demons" episode of his own show, which featured the great Superman Flash race. Order that from amazon too.).In the second story "In blackest night", you'll see the Green Lantern Corps and Guardians of the Universe. The show adapts a comic story written for Hal Jordan (who is excluded from this show, in favour of the long awaited John Stewart).Guest stars include Metamorpho and Aquaman and Etrigan in the ordinairy episodes.We're spared nothing, as the details of Aquaman's loss of hand are implied, with the aftermath shown.This set saves you buying Secret Origins and Savage Time as separate DVDs.Time travel plot lines in Savage Time pt1-3 enable us to see The Blackhawks, Sgt Rock and Easy Co, The War Wheel, and Wonder Woman's brief interlude with Steve Trevor.Now here's a twist. In 1981-89 Roy Thomas wrote incessantly about the Justice Society (and All-Star Squadron and Young All-stars) set forever in 1942. Not even the crisis on infinite earths' phasing out of the golden age Superman and Wonder Woman and Batman could stop Roy reinventing the golden age of comics.To satirize this, 4 core members of the Justice League travel to a parallel universe (in JL season 1 ep "Legends") and meet the Justice Guild of America (whose characters are clear retoolings of the Justice Society of America). There's just one catch. Are they the real JGA or not? The key to it all is their teen mascot "Ray Thomson", who has kept the world in a permanent golden age, using his amazing mental powers.Hope I haven't spoilt too much, but I hate to see the joke go to waste.This is a great first season, leaves you wanting more, which you'll get in Season 2 and Justice League Unlimited.Enjoy the extras too.

In a world where super heroes are becoming a thing of the past, their stories being rewritten to fit the the so-called "new normal", and their innocence is being taken away, you have to learn how to appreciate the yesteryear of times where good story written shows, like Justice League, depicted beloved super heroes at their prime when we tried to be them and model ourselves after them. Justice League premiered on cartoon network and just blew away our young minds at the time with its drama filled stories lines written by great writers at that time. Writers who wrote for other great animated super hero shows like Superman: The Animated Series, Batman: The Animated series, and Batman Beyond, as well. This show reignites our love for our Super Heroes and depicts them as they SHOULD BE in their purest essence of what they were written and created to project. This show is well worth the time to bask in and the money to be spent on for those who still love their Super Heroes and what they mean to them, personally.

Let's STOP the comparisons between the Superfriends of the 70's and this well written great cartoon, the JLA. The Superfriends was like watching the Smurfs or Sesame Street because it came at a time when violence was being taken off the T.V. So expecting to see Superman or any of the superheroes using their super strenth as we know it, it just wasn't going to happen. Then they threw in those 2 stupid Wonder Twins characters, a dog and 2 other characters, Wendy and Marvin, and made it even worse! Superman was basically feminized in the Superfriends because there were times when the Wonder Twins would even save him. Even their headquaters was called the Hall of Justice and it was on a city street! If anyone can remember the 60's Superman cartoon, it was much, much better and more in line to the Superman TAS or the JLA. However, I still like the new Superman TAS and JLA better because it is better written and more intense stories. I've watched some of the Justice League episodes thought the ending of the first episode was pretty funny. At the end of the first episode, Superman was thinking of working together with the other superheroes, when Flash says "you mean like Superfriends" to which Superman says "No, more like a Justice League". To me, a well written little snipe to a completely terrible cartoon in the Superfriends. I haven't bought the series one yet, The Justice League of course, but I will happily order it asap. Then I can order volume 2 soon after. Do yourselves a favor, buy these cartoons as they are written like NO OTHER CARTOON OUT THERE TODAY!! TRUST ME! These cartoons are like watching mini movies and it's no wonder that the Superman, TSA won an emmy. AN EMMY?!? TO A CARTOON! This is usually given to sitcoms like "Friends" which I was never really to friendly about. Or Everybody Loves Raymond & even Seinfeld. I'd have given this cartoon 10 stars but 5 is the most you can give. And that's saying something about these cartoons!
