Agreed and at the very least it was the second best series in the Timm/Dini era

Especially when they got to the JLU version, it caputred the DCU so well. They did an amazing job showcasing unsung DC characters and stories (The Hawk and Dove episode was dope)

I think hands down one of the best episodes was the adaptaton of that Alan Moore Superman story For the Man who has everything. Dope as hell.

When Amanda Waller called Bats "rich boy" I literally had the :krs: face

Them two just went at it with one liners through out the season.



Back and forth, back and forth. It was like a rap battle trying to get the last word in. Amanda Waller was such a great character. That's another thing about JL/JLU - it introduced us to characters that we vaguely had heard of and made them great. Waller, Green Arrow, Black Canary, The Huntress, Hawkgirl, Jon Stewart, The Question :blessed: and it also made us sometimes think "Wait...why are we rooting for the JL? Them dudes could take over the world at anytime?" Great writing. I'd love to see these dudes write the JL live action movie.

I tried to go back and re-watch Justice League and season one was ass. I didn't make it to season 2 but now that you've given me this perspective, I will go back.

Until I do, Young Justice > JL.

Season 1 was kind of meh, but you crazy for that one. Even the very first episode of Season 2 will have you like :gladbron: .

You'll be singing Justice League's praises before you even get to JLU. :yes:

Yeah speaking of the movie when they put her character in the GL movie I had high hopes they would pull a Nick Fury and have her as a connecting thread through different flicks. You wouldn't think Angela Bassett would just collect a check like that but...:mindblown:

That's what I was hoping but Green Lantern didn't meet expectations so I guess it'll up being like Ang Lee's Hulk movie.

I legit cried during Epilogue. B:TAS debuted on my 12th birthday, and when Epilogue hit, I thought it was a wrap for that DCAU, and my emotions was on full display :to:

Season 3 was hit and miss, but they said "fukk it, we already served dinner and dessert, here's the post-bar breakfast" :blessed:

Yo, when "The Once and Future Thing" aired, and I saw Terry interact with young Bruce, my mind couldn't handle it :mindblown: :damn:

Real talk, I was mad they ain't let Bruce and Diana progress. Imagine in "Epilogue" if she was there at old ass Bruce's side :sadbron:

Only beef I had was no more B:TAS nikkas in the cut, but The Batman and Teen Titans had an embargo on character use JL and JLU could use :ufdup:

The Task Force X (Suicide Squad) ep :ohlawd:

Writing was unparallelled at the time, cuz you felt everything going on was high stakes, even in the small eps. Like in "The Greatest Story Never Told" when Booster was trying to stop that dude that was a walking black hole :laugh:

"Doomsday Sanction" when Batman stopped that nuke was the gulliest Batman moment of the series :wow:

Someone continue before I breakout my boxset, when I should be cleaning :damn:
