I don't like the lack of attention the justice league gets compared to the avengers as of recently. Why? You got superman, batman, hawk girl etc. just chilling. You got the green latern, flash, wonder woman, J'onn.

From that perspective, you have the justice league taking on superman's, batman's literally every members of the league's villains.

Top five episodes:

Season 1 episode 6, I went with this episode at #5 because of introducing the Aquaman.

Still one of my favorite designs.

#4. Season 1 episode 25.
The time traveling was better than any roller coaster avengers were on with Thanos.

I can always appreciate the future Batman.

#3. Season 2 episode 5, 6 Only a dream

Easy pick for top 5, shoutout to all the nightmare scenarios the justice league members go through with the tricky villain Dr. Destiny.



#2. Season 2 episode 22, They went crazy with the Joker on this episode and it should be in any top 5.

#1. Season 2 episode 24-26 have to make the list, the introduction of the thanagars species (hawkgirls home planet), the new designs of the thanagars, and all the moments at Wayne manor.




I liked it more than the x-men animated series, also more than spiderman series but less than the batman animated series. I think hollywood will cash in on Hawkgirl, and give it an avengers, iron man caliber style movie.

OK, what does GAF think of the justice league animated series on netflix?

So I originally never gave this show a chance, finally did ages ago and loved it. I loved how it got personal, how it carried story arcs as well.

Batman:TAS into Superman:TAS, then JL:TAS and Young Justice, its about all you really need. Some of the other batman animated series were pretty good and a TON of the DC animated movies were astounding. Lately not so much, but they had a good 20 year run. Some fucking ICONIC voice actors as well, plus that sweet sweet Paul Dini body style. Every man is wider than a truck and every woman puts an hourglass to shame

Edit: forgot to credit Bruce timm for the art aesthetic as well, he loves that pin up look as well.

OG Teen Titans was pretty great too. The more light hearted ones might not click with some adults if they don't vibe with the humor, but most of the serious episodes were well done. Ron Perlman fucking rules as the voice of Slade. That episode in Season 3 where Robin keeps telling the rest of the team that Slade has returned but no one else can see him, and that chilling final few seconds of the episode, fucking legendary stuff.

I rewatched JL a couple of years ago and yeah, I can confirm it does hold and still is awesome on bluray. Offtopic, but I gained a lot of appreciation for Superman TAS as well. Makes me appreciate a Superman that got the basics of the character and story down.

I would skip Young Justice that shit got bad in the later seasons.

I get your frustration! The Justice League has such a strong roster, and episodes like Aquaman's intro, the time travel, and Joker's chaos are amazing. It's definitely on par with classic shows like Batman: The Animated Series. Hawkgirl definitely deserves more attention — a solo movie would be awesome! Overall, the Justice League Animated Series still holds up, especially on Netflix.

I liked it back in the day.

Unfortunately it's leaving May 7. That and "The Batman" is up there and leaving soon. (That's the one that introduced the Joker as what looks like a homeless guy that all the fans seemed to hate. That's in contrast to Heath Ledger's Joker who looks like a homeless guy that all the fans loved.)

Damn enjoyable. Great characterisation for many of the heroes and villains.
Not really into the newer animated movie selection.

The Lex/Flash mind swap is especially funny as Michael Rosenbaum voices Flash, and Rosenbaum also played Lex in the Smallville TV series.

 

[CastorSoze]

Went through all the series recently - Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond and Justice League/Unlimited. May do Static Shock and Zeta Project at some point in the future. Also did the animated movies like Mask of the Phantasm and the Batwoman one,
I had seen the occasional episode when younger but decided to go beginning to end this time.

One of the scenes I remembered and liked from when I saw it before and still like it is just Bruce revealing everyone's identity (about the 2 min mark)



Though found it strange this was the end of season 2 and they didn't already openly know each other's identities. A previous episode implied Diana knew Bruce was Batman though he still tried to keep up the act.

For reference I like that homeless, hippie looking Joker and yes it's leaving Netflix look at the intros

Wow, I thought I was the only one who didn't have a problem with that version of the Joker. Admittedly I actually like the Marilyn Manson esque Riddler character but I think comic book fans had a problem with him as well.

The only awesome character is Batman.
