What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Emily Ashby

Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, and their fellow classic DC comics characters burst back onto the TV screen in this series (which began life as simply Justice League and added the "unlimited" at the start of the third season). With an expanded membership numbering more than 50 superheroes, the League battles a constant barrage of villains. Alien invasions, android armies, and nuclear monsters ensure that there's never a dull moment in the superheroes' world.

Is It Any Good?

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED features more sophisticated plots than those in the early Justice League days, and older viewers will enjoy the continuation of storylines from one episode to the next. The amazing staying power of these characters, some of whom first debuted in the 1930s, makes the show a fun choice for nostalgic cartoon fans. It's a winner for kids, too, as the idealistic view of super powers is part of everyone's childhood.

The strength of the League comes from its individuals and their unique powers. While most have been bestowed with super-powered abilities, others, like Batman, rely on their own intellect and skills to battle the bad guys. The best aspect of the show is that all members are portrayed as equals, and no single member's power is celebrated over another's. It is only through teamwork that the day's work is done and the universe is saved yet again.
