I haven't watched this type of program since the late `60s, early `70s. I have fond memories of most DC comic heroes and was curious to see how they've evolved in one-plus generations.
My first impression was that the acceptable, if unspectacular, animation is much better than it was in the earlier incarnation, especially the backgrounds. Took me a while to get used to the exaggerated physiques and lunch-bucket jaws on the super heroes, especially Superman and Batman.
The story in JUSTICE LEAGUE is interesting and involving. Earth is invaded by an army from Mars who plan to block out the sun, subjugate the human race and take over the Earth for some nefarious reason or other. The writers cribbed a lot from H.G. Wells and a bit from latter-day science fiction to cobble this one together. The invaders speak tinny squeak talk and look like marshmallow blobs studded with nougats. A worthy test for this newly formed super hero league if ever there was one.
There's enough action to keep the kids interested and there's story enough to keep the adults quiet in their seats, as well.

There has been some disturbing reviews about the appearances and powers of the heros. For one thing, Wonder Woman is supposed to be taller than most of the men, she's an Amazon, she's not an oridinary human female. She also could fly in her original comic series, but later was reduced to long jumping in the TV series incarnation(Who's Who in the DC Universe, #4. Written by Mark Waid-DC Comics). Secondly, Superman is rather weak in a sense, he's defeated with just kyrptonite, but I can't agree with the reviewer who says the show portrays him as weak. On the contrary, the show portrays him to be rather arrogantly powerful because it is mostly him, who at the end of the day is strong enough and has the most indepth power to save the day. And that's the on-going machismo bickering that he and Batman battle with on nearly every episode as to whom can outwit and outmatch whom. Thirdly, I am disgusted to see a reviewer comment that Hawkgirl and the "black" Green Lantern are forced minorities? Have you not read DC comics Green Lantern series? The Green Lantern's powers were transfered into John Stewart in the early 70's premiering on January 1972 to be exact, so this character is not just a made up version of the Green Lantern--he has been this hero for the past 32 years. People if you are going to comment on this series...PLEASE know what you are talking about, because it makes you look foolish and it it does not help potential buyers who may shy away from buying this wonderful series.

Justice League is the most faithful adaption to comic book characters ever aired on television. It's fun, without being kiddie,an engaging without any hint of campiness. There is an open respect from the creators for the characters and for the intelligence of the audience. This origin episode was a must have, but I have to confess that I have not purchased the other two because I am anxious for a boxed set of the entire seasons 1-2. The price of $16.00 for four episodes is a bit steep when considering what comparable boxed set would cost. C'mon, Warner Brothers, get on the stick! Collect this fantastic series as it wass meant to be.

I don't know what some of these people are thinking when they give this movie a bad review. And the person who commented on the costumes? Aquaman isn't in the new Justice League- if you're going to review a movie, at least watch a little of it.
This movie was perfect for the kind of people who are going to watch it, and maybe even perfect for the people who happen to catch it on TV some night when they're surfing channels. If the DVD doesn't have a lot of extras, so what? The movie makes up for it.
It's a perfect introduction for the show, which really hooks you with it's cliphangers, comedy, and great animation. Bravo to Bruce Timm and the rest of the people behind the show.
The only thing that I may have added to it, although it wasn't totally necessary, is where Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl came from- for the newer fans. Otherwise, the movie has great scenes, perfect dialogue and a fine storyline. Plus, it's pretty much appropriate for all audiences.
I definitely recommend this movie. The time spent working on it was well spent.
