JLU Season 3 starts September 17th

Recommended Posts

I so forgot about the way "Wild Cards" ended. I like how they had Hawkgirl and GL kiss for the first time and the long fade out. Then out of the blue the old woman that was playing the slots the whole episode all of a sudden hits the jackpot. I was surprised that the censors didn't edit the ending of the episode with what that emplied.

 

An implication way too vague for most young kids to pick up on. It looks like JL has that animated movie appeal in that there are implications that only the adults would get, while the kids enjoy the more direct humor that dominates the films.

 

Hawkgirl: That's fast.

The Flash: Yeah, fastest man alive.

Hawkgirl: Which might explain why you can't get a date.

The Flash: Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!

 

Flash always has great scenes. Like the one where he tries to get Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman to sit down to dinner and talk after HG's betrayal. They both take off in a huff and everyone's looking at Flash in the cafeteria.

 

Flash: Yeah, that's right. I had dinner with TWO women. I'm a stud. *promptly puts his hand in his mashed potatos*

I rewatched Apokolips...Now! and man does that ending come out of no where. I think the ending of that episode is one of the top endings Timm and Co. ever did, and that includes the end of Starcrossed.

I bought all three volumes of Superman: TAS while I was on vacation. Not being the biggest Superman fan, I was weary of doing so, but since I liked JL: Season 2 so much, I bought Volume Three first. I loved it so much I went back a few days later and bought one and two. The DCAU carnation of Superman is my favorite one.

I bought JLU a few days ago, and I have to say that the Cadmus storyline is now one of my favorite stories of the DCAU. I also wasn't expecting

Braniac to make a surprise appearance toward the end of the arc.

 

Favorite episodes:

The Doomsday Sanction

Clash

Question Authority

Flashpoint

Panic in the Sky

Divided We Fall

Epilogue

 

What are some other good episodes on Volume One?

For the Man Who Has Everything

I watched this episode shortly after making that post and it made me realize that it was the closest Timm and company have got to showing Joe Chill's murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne.

 

And Cadmus will probably become my favorite DCAU storyline after I watch it a few more times.

I just watched "For the Man who has everything" and that is easily one of my favorite episodes that Timm and Co. ever made. Three scenes made the epsidoe for me

 

1. Superman telling Mongul to burn is so dark and chilling

 

2. Batman saying that what ever dream the black mercy was giving Mongul was to good for him.

 

3. Superman telling his son that none of this is real.

 

bonus time was seeing the origin of Batman in the alley that fateful night.

Don't forget Wonder Woman giving Mongul a german suplex that he just no sold.

So...who's picked up "Season Two" of JLU on DVD?

 

I did and while the episodes aren't as strong as the ones of the JL Season Two and JLU Season 1 & 2, it's still a pretty good buy.

 

I liked the whole Cadmus featurette and the producers commentating over three of the episodes.

 

Pick it up!

I picked it up earlier this week. I do agree that it isn't as strong as previous releases. The episodes that I have watched so far that I really enjoy are the Great Brain Robbery and Flash & Substance. Granted I like Flash and Substance because I am a huge Captain Cold fan.

Those two would be my favorites of the season along w/ "Alive" (love the way that there is no superhero speaking lines in the whole thing) and "Destroyed" (Superman's climatic fight w/ Darkseid and the ending with Luthor along w/ all of the heroes running down the steps) but it's hard to beat a story arc like the Cadmus arc.

 

I just wish we had some Bat-villains like Scarecrow and Joker appear, but now I understand why cause of Bat-embargo. I also wish there were more appearances by The Question, who after the Cadmus story arc became one of my favorite heroes of the series.

Bat-embargo? Due to The Batman?

Yup.

 

http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/Bat-Embargo

 

On the commentary track of "This Little Piggy", Paul Dini states that both Joker and Harley were suppoed to make appearances.

 

Scarecrow was supposed to be a member of the Legion of Doom in Season 3 of JLU as well as other Bat-villians.

 

Ra's Al Ghul was also slated to make an appearance (Apocolypse of 09 perhaps?)
