I have been a fan of DC Comics for a while now, but I haven't been able to watch this series on tv because I have never had cable. I ordered this for myself for Christmas and I am glad that I did. We just had a baby, and when she would get up in the middle of the night and want to eat, I would have little to do, so I decided to put in the Justice League and watch an episode or two. Well, I watched the whole season in less than two weeks and I liked it so much I decided to order season 2 and the unlimited series as well.
The extras aren't that great, and the commentary offers some insight into the episodes, but the real stars are the actual episodes. I had some gripes about the series, but in the extras they talk about those same things that I had issues with, and it sounds like they have fixed most of them in the second season, I'll have to see when I start watching that season.
I highly reccomend this series to anyone who hasn't seen it and is a fan of DC Comics and its characters.

I have both the two sets of "Justice League" and the two sets of "Justice League - Unlimited", and of the four, I think the first "Justice League" is my favorite, with the three-part "The Savage Time" being my favorite episode.
However, as much as I like "The Savage Time", there are some glaring historical inaccuracies and technological improbabilities/impossibilities that are hard to overlook without some effort. Still, it's a fun watch.

If you like any of the Justice League series this is a must to start out with!

For a few years there was a significant effort to bring decent storytelling and characterization to the realm of animated superheroes; Justice League and its successor, along with the earlier Batman and Superman animated series, were high points of the period. Sadly, these days we're sliding deeper into the 'oh, the humanity' and endless angst aspects.
Instead of declining into the foppish triteness of earlier efforts (Superfriends, et al), the creators made an effort to inject some measure of 'real' personality into the Leaguers, and occasionally even into the "villains" (though happily they did not allow the latter to get out of hand in this season). These heroes generally would not be embarrassing to be around (maybe even kind of cool to hang with). Likeable, generally. So unlike the earlier Hanna-Barbera style buffoons.
If there was one down point for me, it was the excessive 'politeness' and 'correctness' of Superman. He sounded too much like a guidance counselor at a politically correct college at first, though things improved as the season progressed.

As a fan of the art, story and legends behind the major figures of the DC comic universe this animated series was a more than competent transition from page to screen. It was a very welcome series to enable one to see familiar characters that have already been seen in movies and tv (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash) as well as those which are just as popular on page but who may not occupy such ready familiarity outside the actual comic book medium (Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl). The art style is very modern and an upward evolution from the first Batman animated series circa 1990s. Themes tend to be a bit mature and not as "sugar coated" as in decades gone by, but this is also a positive modern enhancement for audiences who welcome a "thinking" storyline.
