movies/tv Opinions on Justice League seasons 1 and 2?

[Sepul-Coloratura 762]

It was a surprisingly solid and awesome, entertaining show. Every character was great and the story was interesting.

What was a surprise and a slight letdown was Hawkgirl at the finale of season 2. She was my favorite character of all the league members and the show sacrificed her for the sake of drama, similar to how The Walking Dead sacrifices the characters to provoke intense emotions (in a wrong way). It isn't a bad thing, but if the show doesn't pull off a great story about this later on in Justice League Unlimitted, I will be disappointed. Season 2 finale was a good story on it's own, but I can already see the limits. Now I will never get the Hawkgirl that I thought she was.

I mean, as soon as her and Green Lantern are together, then just at the next episode? We also got to know more about her at the holiday episode. I feel betrayed as well as the characters in the show. It also came out of nowhere.

And the worst part is that they removed the mask. She had the awesome Devil Man look and her eyes looked so ironically cute in there. Now she's all tragic conflicted traitor. I was tricked and fooled to believe a certain character to be a certain way and be attached to it. It isn't a good tool for storytelling just like The Walking Dead saying "You should be shocked and hopeless like the characters in the story."

Hawkgirl was a very simple character, but I liked it that way. Now everybody has a complicated backstory.

But still, 8.5/10

Yeah, Justice League is awesome (as is the DCAU in general)! Everything you could want from a superhero show and then some.

So some scripts were added to the late Dwayne McDuffie's (Also did Static Shock and some Teen Titans) site recently:

The script for Fearful Symmetry isn't the episode that we saw with Supergirl, Green Arrow and The Question, but rather the abandoned DTV movie Justice League Worlds Collide.  The movie that would follow from Starcrossed and set up the League expanding their ranks.

The final product ended up being the Non-DCAU film Crisis On Two Earths, and yeah like Timm and crew said, a lot of what we saw would have been used for the DCAU version, but we get to see more nods to the continuity like how Lex was working on a book and Batman intentionally destroying the original Watchtower.

Among other scripts and treatments also is one called The Fall Guy featuring a hero name Zauriel and The Cookie Monster.  CM being based on the Justice League International comics with a dark spin on J'onn's cookie addiction.😅
