- Good plots, characterizations
With the little ones bugging me about seeing Superhero movies, I looked into this cartoon. They can enjoy most of the episodes although if they start to get scared, I will switch it off. Although appropriate for most children the series has enough substance to statisfy parents and fans of all ages. Forget the silly SuperFriends. These cartoons are well drawn, have fairly good plots, and most all the characters are defined. There relationships are not always smooth, which makes for a better show. The action is drawn out too long for mhy taste, but again it's perfect for the kids.

- Bruce Timm's Animated Batman/Superman World at its Next Level
It all started in 1992 with Batman The Animated Series, and the brilliant, creative, and ground breaking team members such as Bruce Timm, Hilary Bader, Paul Dini, Andrea Romano, and so many others. That show created a ripple effect that resulted in many more comic-to-cartoon transformations for Batman and Superman in years to come. The Justice League is one of the last and latest.

A few years after Batman and Superman have been doing their thing in their respective cities, they eventually band together to form a team as a reaction to larger global threats in the world of super villainy.

To hardcore fans of Bruce Timm's animated series adaptations, not all of Justice League season 1 measures up to their expectations, but kids will love it just the same. There are a few gems in this season's set which make it worth buying, but weary parents may want to sample it first before buying the entire season.

You can easily rent "Justice League: Secret Origins" from the kids section of your favorite rental place. It's the same three episodes that you can find on the season 1 box set. Watch it with your kids. The action is clean and isn't too gratuitous, so I see this season, and show in general, to be a good way to keep the kids busy with something they'd like, if they're into superheroes.

- Excellent Series
Pros:
Great Storytelling.
Recognition of Continuity to previous series (Batman, Superman).
People actually get hurt and/or die.
There are actually repercussions and consequences to actions.

Cons:
Superman was made into a wimp.
The Marshian Manhunter doesn't use his phase power coherently.
The crossover 2-part episode from the Statick Shock cartoon series entitled "A League of Their Own" was not included.
Lex Luthor's unexplained prison escape (he's somewhat hidden in the episode in question).
