Justice League Watchthrough

Far From Home

Notes

- Ah yes, this episode.
- Superman decides it's time to finally tell Supergirl that she's the best. And then she's whisked away to the future.
- And he never sees her again.
- If they could have taken anyone from the time stream, they should have taken Amazo. It's not like he's got anything better to do.
- Bouncing Boy has got to be the worst superhero name ever.
- It just occurred to me that I should have called Green Arrow "Ollie" for sake of convenience. Oh well, this is his last speaking appearance so too late for that.
- The whole romance between Supergirl and Brainiac 5 is just... lazy. They fall in love after about five seconds.
- Hey, I recognize that shot. Replace John with Superman and you've got Crisis on Infinite Earths.
- "Hey Supes, your cousin decided she wants to fuck the descendant of your greatest enemy. Kinda crazy, but YOLO y'know?"

Ancient History

Notes

- More Hawkstory, which means more love triangle business. Great.
- Actually it's more like a love quadrangle. Maybe even a pentagon depending on how you draw it. Which I did. Right here.
- Gentlemen Ghost seems like a p. cool dude.
- Good thing those museum displays are battle-ready.
- I really hope the reference to Egyptian Hawkgirl being good with a whip is a actually a subtle joke about Egyptian slavery.
- God even John has an Egyptian equivalent. I hope Egyptian Hawkgirl and Egyptian Hawkman have a son and turns out to be Egyptian Batman.
- Guess no Egyptian Batman for us. Double Hawkward...
- Guess we'll just have to settle for a cameo from regular old American Batman.

Fights

Hawkman and John vs. Gentlemen Ghost
- Result: If I could be any villain, I'd be Gentlemen Ghost.
- Decision: Hawkman and John victorious

John and Vixen vs. Shadow Thief

- Decision: Shadow Thief victorious

Hawkgirl, Hawkman and Vixen vs. Shadow Thief
- Result: It is not Vixen's day.
- Decision: Shadow Thief victorious

Hawkgirl and Hawkman vs. Shadow Thief
- Result: Uh, I guess they win?
- Decision: Hawkgirl and Hawkman victorious

Alive!

Notes

- The first part of the final story of the Justice League. This episode owns bones; so many people die.
- Lex rules. He's the best villain in the series by far. In your face, Goldface.
- I think the moral of the episode is that Tala ruins everything.
- Grodd escapes and half the Legion of Doom defect to him and half remain loyal to Lex. I'm not gonna list who went with who, because I'm sure the DCAU wiki already did that for me. I have decided to go for alliteration and refer to the sides as Lex's Legion and Grodd's Legion.
- Toyman continues to be the creepiest villain in the series.
- Metron would be a lot more intriguing if he wasn't introduced in the second to last episode. He should have been appearing all season, preferably even longer, going back throughout the entire DCAU.
- Sup Darkseid.

Fights

Lex's Legion vs. Grodd's Legion
- Result: Lex forces Grodd out of an airlock. Once Grodd is dead, the rest of his Legion are frozen by a treacherous Killer Frost.
- Decision: Lex's Legion victorious

Destroyer

Notes

- The final episode of the DCAU. This episode is great until the end, which is pretty shit.
- According to the DCAU wiki, 23 super villains were killed when Darkseid blew up the Legion of Doom's ship.
- Batman speaks for the first time since Dead Reckoning. I guess killing Devil Ray really shook him up.
- There is no way I am recording every fight we see in this episode.
- Good on Batman for risking his life to save Lex.
- Interesting how New York and Tokyo get their own cameras, but other countries are just "Germany", "China", "Australia"
- They couldn't resist the Not-Captain America throwing a shield could they?
- Hey look, it's J'onn!
- Lex clearly has infinite ammo enabled.
- In what world could a kick from Batman ever stagger Darkseid? Flea, indeed.
- Hey look Batman dodged an omega beam. Makes a nice change of pace.
- Oh shut up Metron, lots of things can beat Darkseid. Superman almost does like two minutes later. Not to mention fucking Amazo, who is STILL OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.
- Here we go, World of Cardboard speech AKA the biggest case of blue balls in animation history. Writers, why bother giving Superman his greatest moment if you're just gonna snatch it away a moment later? Just let Superman win for once.
- The ending is seriously shit. Lex attains godhood and whisks Darkseid away, never to be seen again. The Justice League runs at the camera. The end.

Fights

Justice League vs. Apokolips' Army
- Result: First cross-continental battle we've had. How exciting.
- Decision: Justice League victorious

Batman vs. Parademons
- Result: Batman is like the anti-mook. No mook has ever beaten him. Except for that shifter dog in the first episode. Does that count as a mook? Hard to say. Mook, that is.
- Decision: Batman victorious

Superman vs. Darkseid
- Result: World of Fucking Cardboard. What a waste.
- Decision: Inconclusive, advantage Darkseid

Spoiler:

This is it. This shows how much the writers give a shit about Superman. Fucking Lex saved the day more than he did. Fucking Green Arrow saved the day more than he did.
