Storyline

Forces of evil, chaos, and destruction await. Not even protectors like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Hawkgirl or the Martian Manhunter may have a chance alone. But together as the Justice League, they are a metahuman force (and a hope) to be reckoned with.

Trivia

Though intended to incorporate both the previously aired Batman and Superman cartoon histories, the creative staff initially decided to ignore Superman: In Brightest Day... so as to not confuse viewers with two different Green Lanterns. This plan was later reconsidered. In "Hearts and Minds", the Green Lantern introduced in the Superman series, Kyle Rayner, is briefly mentioned as being a Green Lantern Corps member and appears in "Hereafter". In "The Return", Rayner is shown in action with the Corps as a speaking part. In "The Once and Future Thing: Part Two: Time, Warped" Chronos' tinkering with space-time causes John Stewart to briefly morph into Hal Jordan, the original comic's Silver Age Green Lantern who was not previously seen in Batman, _"Batman: Gotham Knights" (1997)_, Superman, or _"New Batman Superman Adventures, The" (1997)_.

User Reviews

The Justice League is back for a new millennium.

There hasn't been a show featuring these mighty heroes since 1985, but this show ain't no Super Friends. Like the Superman and Batman shows of the 1990s, Justice League has action, humor, creativity and terrific animation. Justice League acts more like the current comic book incarnation. The show stars the most powerful and well known characters from those comic books. Other familiar characters are bound to pop up from time to time. The characters have separate and distinct personalities, which can lead to some conflict and disagreement. That's good since it would be very boring if all the heroes agreed on everything and got along.

Congratulations to Bruce Timm and his team. This show is sure to be a winner.
