Kurt Angle Mark Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 Would some one let me know what episodes are in the DVD set that is out now, and if it includes Starcrossed? I think you are talking about the Justice League Collection DVD Set. If that is the case it collects the first 3 Justice League DVD's that have the first eleven episodes of the show. Here is an episode guide for info Starcrossed is out on DVD as well. Bought it myself yesterday.

It's a box set like the Batman TAS set, although I think it is the whole first season.
Kurt Angle Mark Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 Well the one I'm talking about is this one There is no season 1 DVD set Could you have mistaken the "Super Friends" DVD set for the Justice League since the Super Friends one has a similar cover to the B:TAS Set
AndrewTS Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 Damn, you're right. I thought I'd seen a Justice League one but apparently I was mistaken. =/ I wouldn't rule out them putting one out, because I still see some of the old Batman TAS DVDs even though the box set made them obsolete. I guess a JL set is coming later.
Kurt Angle Mark Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 Reminder: today is the day Justice League Unlimited starts tonight at 8:30 pm ET/PT Repeats for JLU episodes will be Sunday at 5:00 pm and 11:30 am the following Saturday.

I'm guessing that means the JLU episodes will only be half-hour episodes. Que Sera Sera...
ChrisMWaters Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 And the Generic Bad Guys were busted out for this episode, apparently. Just to make Robin hood...er, Green Arrow, look good.
Vyce Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Reminder: today is the day Justice League Unlimited starts tonight at 8:30 pm ET/PT Repeats for JLU episodes will be Sunday at 5:00 pm and 11:30 am the following Saturday. I'm guessing that means the JLU episodes will only be half-hour episodes. Que Sera Sera... Tonight's episode was good, but really, it showed why the half-hour format is just going to cause problems. You can't really tell the best story possible in a half hour, considering they have such a large cast of characters. 30 minutes isn't even enough time to get adequately present (let alone develop) the different personalities of the new characters and how they interact with other Leaguers.

I dunno...Arrow's personality seemed OK. As was his conflict with Captian Atom. ...weird, we have both Captain Atom and The Atom on the new Justice League. Interesting. And this ep, The Atom was lucky...that close to Wonder Woman... Er...um...^^;
Guest SP-1 Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 I enjoyed tonight's ep. I think this particular episode worked at the half hour mark because the villain wasn't all that interesting. The focus was more on GA and the whole "teamwork" thing. I like that Bats seems to gravitate towards GA, though. I can see some interesting conversations in the future between those two. And we see CANARY~! Awesome.
Boner Kawanger Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Well, I liked that Green Lantern was the one to pick up Green Arrow (even though I'll probably mix up their names without thinking if I discuss them for too long). The whole scene with GA fighting off robbers in a grocery store was a great intro for him, and who doesn't love a Boxing Glove Arrow (I'll bet that it's a few people). From here, we get the new opening that is a FULL-ON POWER BALLAD OF GUITAR RIFFS, BAY-BAY~! Since I've spent the past year using FULL-ON POWER BALLAD OF GUITAR RIFFS~! to accenuate over-the-top jokes in movies my friends and I have made, that's not something to my liking. Ah, well, the fact that they're episode-centric is a cool deal since the roster is so big. As for the rest of the episode, it had a few bright spots (GA marching against nuclear power in college and Captain Atom being so straight laced that it hurt) and, even though I saw the ending coming a mile away, I still enjoyed it. I didn't love it, but they had to start somewhere. I just hope every episode doesn't have someone making cutesy little remarks all the time. Supergirl's act wore a little thin. The new voice actors did a good job, too. I say ***.
Mecha Mummy Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 I was on the fence with this episode. I really enjoyed Green Arrow, but at the same time was mildly irked by Supergirl and indifferent on Captain Atom. But they put the emphasis on the right guy here and it was a decent enough start. Good for a first episode, anyway.
Guest CronoT Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 I remember from that show on the History Channel about the history of comics that the first Green Lantern and Green Arrow had a comic book series together. I saw the "liberal" attitudes of GA, and I think his character will work out nicely. He's like The Flash, but less annoying. Overall, I think it was an excellent start to the series. The Justice League episodes were starting to get stale, and this definitely was not stale. I'm looking forward to the next episode already. Who do you think the next villian they fight will be?
razazteca Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Who do you think the next villian they fight will be? Lex Luther and the Legion of Super Villians! Or Bizarro.
Guest JMA Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 The opening with Green Arrow and Green Lantern was really cool. It almost felt like an issue of the "Hard Traveling Heroes" storyline. I also got the feeling that Batman used to think the way Green Arrow did; at least in terms of joining the League instead of just fighting street crime. The divide between Green Arrow and Captain Atom was just great and really established their ideological differences. And it did it without being overtly political -- it was very subtle. Looking through the episode descriptions this season, it seems there are several instances where heroes with different ideologies clash: Captain Atom and Green Arrow, The Question and Green Arrow, and Hawk and Dove. I think this is a good move as it really shows the characters as real people. It's also good to know that the people working on JLU are really using the Charlton Comics characters.
Guest SP-1 Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 I like how the League is so huge now. Something I noticed: There were non-hero human personnell aboard the sattellite, apparently helping in day-to-day activities? A suggestion that the League is now closely working with Earth political forces?

A suggestion that the League is now closely working with Earth political forces? It's definitely better, because now the heroes don't seem all one-dimensional. Like I said, I'm betting that a lot of the charater-driven plots are going to originate around Green Arrow, Green Lantern, and Super Girl. It will be nice for the episodes to be more than just "kill or defeat the bad guy." I really liked the episode(s) where Vandal Savage meets Superman in the far distant future, because it showed him as a different person. I'm a real fan of character development.
AndrewTS Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 First off, of a review of sorts for Starcrossed...although it's more of impressions of the series than it is an indepth review. A lot of it I agree with (especially the part about the double-dipping disc release system. I want JL season 1, damnit!): http://www.jabootu.com/netflixweek2.htm#jl That being said, so far I'm very impressed with Unlimited so far. Of course, Green Arrow--he's not superhuman, right? Yet he seemed to be far stronger than faster than any normal human...plus the arrows holding up that truck--uhhhh? However, it's a great introduction to his character and his reservations about joining the league. Stewart's cool as always. I didn't mind Supergirl at all. However, they originally were very determined to respect each government's wishes, but when all hell broke loose, the team just took action. However, they didn't settle just what they'd do in another situation like that, or how that government responded. Would the situation be publicized, or would the League keep it a secret? Of course, half-hour format and all, I know not every important detail can be squeezed in, it's just some things I noticed. By and large I'm very happy with what I saw and await more. ...weird, we have both Captain Atom and The Atom on the new Justice League. Interesting. And this ep, The Atom was lucky...that close to Wonder Woman... Er...um...^^; Different powers, though. I actually never heard of Captain Atom before now, although I recall a similar concept for Superman Blue. And...well...he was on her shoulder. No biggie. Now, Plasticman once disguised himself as WW's lasso and thus spent a while resting against her thigh...
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 I also did a review of Starcrossed on this very forum... and it was ignored.
Guest CronoT Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 Of course, Green Arrow--he's not superhuman, right? Yet he seemed to be far stronger than faster than any normal human...plus the arrows holding up that truck--uhhhh? Green Arrow's superpowers are like Hawkeye's from the Marvel Universe: Superhuman agility and superhuman eye sight. Basically, he can fire his arrows from any position, even upside down in mid air, and he can almost always hit his target. Green Arrow is like Batman, in that he's a hero, but he's still mortal. It makes him seem more human, and that means people relate to him better.

I relate a hell of a lot better to The Flash than The Question.
ChrisMWaters Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 And...well...he was on her shoulder. No biggie. Now, Plasticman once disguised himself as WW's lasso and thus spent a while resting against her thigh... Think of the view he could have though.

Uh--basically all of them are mortal, but Batman doesn't have "super powers," while to a certain extent it appears Green Arrow does. Think of the view he could have though. Yeah, but in either case... That's a misconception. The level of power does not determine their relatability. I relate a hell of a lot better to The Flash than The Question. Plus, I've seen a hell of a lot of people complain about Bats' lack of relatability. He's rich as ****-all, after all.
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 I think the fact that he's an emotional wasteland (or at least has become one in the last ten years) make him tougher to relate to than all the money in the world.
AndrewTS Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 I think the fact that he's an emotional wasteland (or at least has become one in the last ten years) make him tougher to relate to than all the money in the world. In the comics, sure, but if you consider JL and JLU to be a linear progression from Batman TAS, it doesn't seem to be too true. Overall, he's seemed to grow emotionally in a very healthy way in those series.
AlwaysPissedOff Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 Now, Plasticman once disguised himself as WW's lasso and thus spent a while resting against her thigh... Plas also disguised himself as a dress that Big Barda wore while undercover in the last story in the Justice For All GN(which was rather funny as hell).
