Format:DVD
Justice League is the 'continuation' of the Batman/Superman continuity starting with Batman: The animated series which is a firm favourite with the DC community. This dvd is the first adventure of the Justice League, brought together by the Martian Manhunter.As Bats and supes are the flagship characters of the DC universe, most of the character development starts with them, and the the others just sort of 'turn up' from Martian Manhunter's telepathic powers.The story is the coming together of the heroes and setting up as the league at the end. Bats is on good form as the arrogant but-good-at-what-he-does anti hero and superman as the holding-up-the-american-dream soldierboy. Action is fast and colourful,along with very good artistic style and starts the series with a good foundation.As the series progressed, it got even better.
(Hurry up with JLU on R1 DVD!!!)

If you remember the Timm Bruce Batman the animated series cartoon from the 90's you will remember 2 things firstly it was really good and dark and secondly the style of art work used. This cartoon is good it keeps Batmans darkness and supermans big blue boy scout heroism and then introduces Martian Manhunter who is very powerful, green latern and hawkgirl and wonderwoman and flash are there as well and there is such a mix of powers but they all seem to work together soo well as a team. The Flash however for me is the wealest link in the cartoon he is not adult enough and he tries to chat up wonerwoman alot. Was he not meant to be married anyway?
What you will notice from the cartoon is the distinct lack of powers from Batman compared to the others but watch this and you will know who the greatest super hero in the world is.

I haven't wathced every episode of the Justice League, but I've seen my share. And I find Secret Origins to be a good start to the whole series. What better way to unite the greatest heroes in the world than a threat to the entire world.
Unfortunately, the movie seems to focus too much on Batman and Superman in the beginning (I know they're the frontmen of the league, but still). It would have been nice to see where GL, Hawk Girl and The Flash suddenly comes from.
Another thing keeps bugging me:
Why is The Flash so ridiculously silly? I remember reading a quote from one of the makers of the Justice League, saying that he is so fast, that he can have a bullet fired at him, run across town, get a bulletproof west and return, before the bullet hits him.
Why does he move so "slow" then? And why does he never seem to notice when danger approaches? How can the fastest man alive trip over something as simple as a mine? I realize that the directors has to solve the problem about him being too fast, but they haven't handled it very well in my opinion.
Other than that, it's a solid story and it introduces every hero and their abilities and their personalities very decently. Furthermore, it presents them with a valid reason to even form the League in the first place.

It's definately worth owning.
I'd just wish that Warner Brothers would stop releasing 3 episodes at a time and just give us a box with each season, as every fan of the JL seems to want them to do.

Super series
Arrived on time and in perfect condition. The series is superb, really not just for kids. The story lines are well thought through, profoundly dramatic at times. Read more

Good film. Rubbish baddies
Like the animation. Like the representation of the heroes, like the price, The Flash is a bit annoying (as if there HAS to be some comic content). Read more
