Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Female and male heroes exhibit separate but equally powerful strengths. Characters' motivation is always the "common good."
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Cartoon violence is frequent as the League battles villains of all types, but most is at unrealistic super-power strength and not very scary.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Characters refer to "copping a feel." Female characters' suits tend to be skimpy and revealing.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Soda (generic, not brand-name) is the refreshment of choice and is referred to more than once.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Justice League Unlimited

Parents need to know that this show highlights teamwork and the heroes' respect for each other due to their unique strengths. While the male-to-female ratio within the League leaves much to be desired, the female characters who are in the group are on equal footing with the men. Kissing and occasional mild sexual implications (snuggling, etc.) might make the series a little strong for superhero fans under 7.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about whether good people and bad people are as clearly identifiable as this series implies. Is it possible to judge a person's intentions by their appearance? What powers do we have to battle the evil in our world? How can we use teamwork to help fight these battles? Who are the heroes in our lives? Parents also can talk to their kids about alternatives to fighting. What are some other ways to solve problems?

    wow!!!!!! I would never let a 7 year watch justice league

    wow!!!!!! I would never let a 7 year old watch justice league. I am not saying it's a bad show I liked it but I am 12 so it did not scare me. But this show does have good role models and a lot of violents for a kids show.

    This is the Best Superhero Show I've Ever Seen

    It's awesome! But geared toward older audiences. It's VERY VERY violent. Pretty much all that happens in half of the shows is people getting pummeled. There are also more than a few innuendos, and the women wear pretty revealing clothes. Other than that, though, it's pretty awesome for us teens. If you're a tween, you might want regular Legion of Superheroes. Below that, stick with Word-Girl.

    I rate this title on for age 9 and give it 5.0

    Best super-hero show ever!

    The action is great, the character development is also great, the battles intense, and just everything is awesome. Totally Reccomended! I love this show!

    I rate this title iffy for age 8 and give it 2.0

    Hated it! Not for my kids

    I thought this was going to be a good outlet for my boys' superhero fascination, but I was shocked at the violent nature. We watched one episode and got rid of it. I don't think it was appropriate!
