- JLU Season One
very nicely done. I like the Gov't. being the bad guys. It has a sense of spy/espionage theme that keeps you coming back for more. The tension that exists between the gov't.(Cadmus) and the Justice league makes it exciting. Finally six of the seven founders of the justice league do the right thing and give themselves up; while the seventh founder "Batman", faces down Amanda Waller(the head of Cadmus), and saves the League from any future attacks from Cadmus. I thought it was definately worth buying. I just wish that they would have kept the series going. When I was little the Superfriends on Saturday morning must have had 10 seasons.

- Escapism
An escape to a time of my youth with modern flair.
Layout and design were very good and storylines interesting.
View it as it should be viewed with the wonder of a mind
looking for Heroes doing their best for what is right.
A little humor and whimsy certainly doesn't hurt.

The voice prformances are superb and seem appropreate for most of the
characters. The art work is definately better than past cartoons
(1980s) and most of today's stuff.

- A big hit with my 5-year-old girl
My daughter is very bullish on the Justice League. It's a bit more violent than our usual fare of gentle, Japanese anime, but I think you have to give kids exposure to different types of entertainment, classic cartoons included. This is a 4-disc collection so will keep the kids happy on long car trips.

- Brilliant show
I only saw a few of these on TV and was just into from that first episode with Green Arrow. The season was just well thought out and written as they fused Superman stuff in there. And that Epilogue episode was just great to close the Batman Beyond saga. I also liked how Superman just was really a darker character by the last two discs. This is a must have if you liked Batman TAS, Superman TAS, Batman Beyond, Justice League and even Static Shock.

- Finally a dramatic cartoon series both my son and I can enjoy
Justice League Unlimited (really the whole Justice League run) is an incredibly deep and action packed cartoon. My 5 year old son enjoyed the action and new characters introduced in unlimited while I was able to enjoy the nuanced plots, character development and overall series arc. Of course I enjoyed the action too, and to be honest I bought this for myself as much as for my kid.

Some of the action scenes in this season in particular are on par with the highly choreographed fight scenes in blockbuster hollywood films. It's amazing to see that kind of action in a cartoon. The depth of storytelling is on par with Pixar cartoons (and all shoved into 22 minutes!).
