It's the Joss Whedon Grrl-Fest! by Raschied	Mar 11th, 2006 01:00:58 AM
Fred from Angel and Drusilla from Buffy too?!
What is it with this show and Whedon? by Killah_Mate	Mar 11th, 2006 04:36:02 AM
They could have an entire episode set in Buffyverse without hiring a single new actor... :)
DON'T CANCEL JUSTICE LEAGUE!!! by Thoreau	Mar 11th, 2006 05:29:00 AM
What, is DC on crack? Yes, go ahead, adapt your characters to movies, but don't punish by taking away what for us is the best representation of these characters done by an exceptional team... this show is great, one of my absolute favorites and my favorite version of supes, bats, wonder woman, flash, GL, jonn, etc, and please for the love of god don't take it away cuz you are worried about your movie properties...
mmm, amy acker fighting morena baccarin by newc0253	Mar 11th, 2006 06:01:47 AM
my head exploded just thinking about it.
Glammer Slam?? by Drunken Irishman	Mar 11th, 2006 10:34:03 AM
Obviously that was meant to be 'Glamour Slam' and yes, I am that stupid.
This episode sucked, but excellent JLU got SHAFTED by Squashua	Mar 11th, 2006 11:55:34 AM
Cartoon Network execs have their heads up their asses in regards to this show. Adult Swim should have adopted it. JLU was extremely well done, and the reason it never got the recognition that it should have has been items such as showing it in Europe or Canada before the US (which made everyone DOWNLOAD the damn thing to ruin ratings) and the ever-changing timeslots and lack of upcoming show announcements.
not sure about this by phaedrus007	Mar 11th, 2006 12:25:02 PM
I haven't seen this one yet, but I wasn't too crazy about the first meta-brawl episode.
cancelled? by redshirt	Mar 11th, 2006 12:42:01 PM
Geez,I haven't been paying attention. Why are they axing it? It's fantastic! It's one of the few cartoons I can watch with my kids! Who do I write a letter to?
"No, I by fiester	Mar 11th, 2006 01:18:18 PM
"I think this line is mostly filler." Just like this epiode.
Rip Off! by rtms	Mar 11th, 2006 07:21:11 PM
This is a rip off of the Birds of Prey episode Gladiratix which had the same thing happening, Huntress and Canary and other super herorines fighting each other. http://tinyurl.com/prdpe
Filler or no ... by JohnnyFriendly	Mar 11th, 2006 10:42:21 PM
Any episode of this show is a thousand times more watchable than the cartoon nightmares that precede it. I'm not a fan of anime, but I wouldn't even call "Dragon Ball" or "Bobo-bo-whatever" proper anime. They're more like animated fever dreams. And yet they'll continue while clever, attractively animated adventures of beloved comic book heroes are allowed to fade away ( through poor scheduling and lackluster promotion ) and eventually be cancelled. Bite me, Cartoon Network !
Maybe it's better they cancel it.... by phaedrus007	Mar 11th, 2006 11:17:22 PM
So, Lex Luthor's plan for universal domination hinges on sucessfully staging a series of cat-fights?!? What next, super-villain-girls-gone-wild? !?
Nightwing! by 44	Mar 12th, 2006 12:30:10 AM
Anyone else catch Nightwing looking down from the rooftop as Huntress drove by on her motorcycle?
I saw Nightwing, too. by Darth Bauser	Mar 12th, 2006 01:32:51 AM
But I was looking for him as soon as I saw the sign that said "Bludhaven". His appearance probably slipped by 99% of the people watching.
YEAH by gravitasone	Mar 12th, 2006 02:56:36 AM
What the cartoon network and DC has done to this show and the Titans is a disgrace. I am sure the reason this show and the Titans will not be back is ultimately over someone not being paid enough. It
phaedrus007 by dedebee	Mar 12th, 2006 04:18:34 AM
Right before Lex came up with the idea to pit the female Leaguers against each other, he was talking about how he needed more resources (aka $$$) to continue with his plan. Obviously he and Roulette staged these fights so that he could raise money to duplicate that Braniac fragment or whatever he was doing. I don't remember the exact details because I was reveling way too much in Wonder Woman owning all the other heroines.
dedebee by phaedrus007	Mar 12th, 2006 07:58:37 AM
Yes, I got all that, I was just commenting on how ridiculous it all was that Lex's plan should hinge on some low-brow cat-fights (think of the scope of some his previous plans, and the large criminal army he's in charge of). Yes, he needs money, but what bizarre and random way for him to get it. I mean, if he could really control the JLU's women like that, why have them fight for profit? Why not have the rob the US Mint? Stupid episode.
amy acker by Redmantle	Mar 12th, 2006 10:50:27 AM
Sure the episode had a stupid premise, but it was fun! And damn, even acker's voice is adorable. How does she do that?!
I love this show and this ep was great but... by Zardoz	Mar 12th, 2006 03:48:30 PM
If Luthor has a mind control device that works on the heroes, wouldn't he find a better use for it than staging a bitch-fight? Like, I don't know, having Wonder Woman rob Ft. Knox? Or using all of the JL to take over the world? Or just for fun, make Bats and Supes make-out? I'm just saying...
I agree, terrible use of mind-control on Luthor's part by Drath	Mar 12th, 2006 04:44:51 PM
What a waste of a great weapon! A bit of a plot hole that it was just dismissed as some plot of Grodd's and not explained any more. Controlling league members through their communication system is a pretty terrific acheivement to waste on such a small endeavor as a catfight for money. Then again, Lex is male, we're talking chick fights, and the blood only flows in one direction.
The question is... by Thalya	Mar 12th, 2006 04:45:50 PM
..why was Sonar with the Society when he had a mind-controlling device like that? The device hinged on certain frequencies coming from the League comlinks, and Huntress and Black Canary pointedly asked _him_ about how to stop the signals.
I don't know about you guys but, by slder78	Mar 13th, 2006 12:07:34 AM
I'm putting Hawkgirl on my list of animated females i wish were real (see Ariel, Daphne from Scooby Doo, Jessica Rabbit, and Cheetara.)
Mind Control by mbeemer	Mar 13th, 2006 11:07:19 AM
I agree, a silly use of mind controlled heroines. Though I could argue that robbing Fort Knox is too high-profile, and running "Glamour Brawl" gets you a steady stream of income until someone figures out what's going on and breaks it up.
Possible reason for JLU leaving by MGTHEDJ	Mar 14th, 2006 04:30:33 AM
Classic WB stupidity. The people currently running CN ran Nickelodeon in the 1990's. The JLU production team have been doing these superhero shows for 14 years. The new exec.'s want to make their mark and that means Bo-Bo-Bo-boo-bad anime bought on the cheap at the expense of JLU. Also, Time Warner is using the 1978 Superman Movie as the template for the DC universe- the "Superman Returns" plot, "Smallville" kills off Pa Kent, "Infinite Crisis" in the comic books. We have had a 20 year run, but "All good things..."-----later-----m
The "What are you wearing?" scene by CrichtonAstronut	Mar 15th, 2006 10:09:13 AM
was worth the whole show. That was pure gold. Question: "Blue overcoat. Fadora." Huntress: "You really don't know how to play this game." Question: "Orange socks." I do agree about "silly use of mind control" issue, but at least Luthor's ultimate goal of acheiving godhood by restoring and recombining with Braniac is a bit cooler than Grod's let's give everybody body-hair master plan. (Seriously, that's like something The Trick from Flash and Substance would've come up with.) Speakingof, love that line from The Great brain Robbery, I think from the Magnet guy. "What's your plan gonna be, Luthor? Make the whole world bald." There's definitly a body-hair subtext this season. I wonder where Darkseid is gonna weigh in on that.
