I liked this episode and like the way that this was the lead into the Justice League Unlimited Series. Great episode(s), great series. I am however sorry that it was ended when they keep other low quality shows on that don't have the fan base or appeal. We'll see if the Legion of Superheroes is any good. What I would like to see is for them to come out with an animated movie. That would be a real treat for the fans.

On June 20 Justice League the complete second season will be availible on DVD. It will include the three episodes on this disc in anamorphic widescreen plus 23 more all at 5x the price value. While these episodes are great I can't possibly recommend this when we will be able to buy full season sets in such a short period of time. While this disc is the best of Warners single disc Justice League sets it contains some extras and a widescreen version (somethings the creaters have been fighting for) it can't possibly compare to real boxed sets of the whole season.

With the huge critical and ratings success of Warner Brothers' "Batman: The Animated Series" and "Superman: The Animated Series", it seemed time for a new animated series of DC heroes to be made to fill the void of the recently ended aforementioned series'. So Warner Brothers approached Bruce Timm and company about a new cartoon series, and what Warner Brothers got was a series featuring not only one or two heroes as the main character, but an entire team, and so the "Justice League" was born. After running for 2 seasons on Cartoon Network, the producers of the series wanted to take the series in a new direction and add more heroes to the team's roster, however to do this required an event that would really shake things up. So, the show's creators got together with Warner Brothers to create a Direct-to-DVD movie that would bridge the gap between the original "Justice League" series and the new series that would begin the shows 3rd season, "Justice League Unlimited", and that movie is "Justice League: Starcrossed".
"Justice League: Starcrossed" takes place as I said between the 2nd and 3rd seasons of the animated series. During a international summit, the Justice League has been called in to provide security for the event, when out of nowhere a fleet of alien warships appear in the sky over the summit, as the Justice League scramble to defend Earth against this alien invasion, a different fleet enters the fray, destroying the invaders. This of course leaves the League confused, all except for one member that is, Hawkgirl. The fleet of warships that assisted the Justice League is comprised of Thannagarians, Hawkgirl's race. The Thannagarians inform the Justice League of an impending alien invasion that Earth will need their help in surviving. The League accepts the offer of help, due to Hawkgirl's persuasiveness, but the League begins to not trust the Thannagarians when they become oppressive and attempt to take over as rulers of Earth, all the while claiming to help.
"Justice League: Starcrossed" provided an excellent stopping point for the previous "Justice League" animated series, and set events into motion that would propel the relaunch of the series under the new name of "Justice League Unlimited". The story is very well done, and fairly mature for an animated movie, but it's fitting since the animated series' of "Justice League", "Batman", and "Superman" have all been aimed at not only kids and teenagers, but adults as well. The voice acting continues to be top-notch, featuring the likes of Kevin Conroy, Elisabeth Pena, Michael Rosenbaum, Hector Elizondo, and Carl Lumbly. The action is relentlessly paced, barely letting you catch your breath before something else happens, but even with all of this action the story never gets overshadowed or weak.
If you have enjoyed the "Justice League", "Batman" or "Superman" the animated series' or if you have only watched "Justice League Unlimited", then this movie is a must-see! Even if you have never seen any of the series' but are still interested, I believe you will still enjoy this movie.
"Justice League: Starcrossed" is not rated, and is safe for viewers of all ages.

The 3 part story stands on its own but it is a waist of money when you should instead wait for the season box sets if they
ever come out. Otherwise just record them or TiVo them.
