Justice League Unlimited -- First Thoughts
I finally watched a couple of episodes of Justice League Unlimited that were stored on my DVR. Once again, I'd have to say that WB is doing great things with the DC Comics line.
That being said, I noticed a few things.
For one, this isn't your Papa's Superfriends. Wonder Woman is a certified badass, the Dark Knight is indeed dark, and the two of them may have a thing going on. It was a trip seeing WW flirt with the Bat... and his response, "It would never work, you are a princess from a race of immortals, and I'm a rich kid with issues ... lots of issues." CLASSIC!
The animation is top-notch, as is the storytelling. The themes they are dealing with are not so kiddie -- war, love, revenge.... it's a far cry from Lex Luthor freezing the world with an ice ray -- and most of this probably soars right over the pre-teen's heads. Granted I have only seen a couple of episodes, but so far I'm impressed.
I really like the character models. WB continues with the style originated with Batman in 1992... although no longer groundbreaking, the well-established look is cleaner and crisper than ever before.
All-in-all, I have to say I'm pleased... can't wait to clean the DVR off a bit more!
