Funny that you should mention Superman. His intelligence is written so all over the place that he’s either as smart as (or smarter than) Batman or as someone who has no idea how his powers work. True, but that's just a small element of the writing problems Superman has always had. Everything about him seems to be mutable, depending on who is doing the writing.

Yeah, the "not in a fun way" made me laugh hard. It was needed, since "Hello Megan" was back again. And they were getting soooooo good at avoiding it.
Injustice League- Nice lineup, except for Joker. I preffered if he wasnt there at all, but everyone else- cool. I like the idea of making Count Vertigo the "leader". Guy has style. Ivy was nicely done and so were others. However... Joker. Why? Becouse Im sick and tired of Joker. Everyone is all about Joker and I know why- he's cool and been in milion stories and has potential to tell twice as much more. I like him in Batman stories, but for the love of god, do they really need to put him everywhere? And winning against Robin in a knife fight? Really? As if trickery and gadgets werent enough to make Joker a viable threat, they also made him a skilled knife fighter? Why?

Joker has been a skilled knife fighter in the comics for years...
But I generally agree that he's massively overexposed, and was totally unnecessary in that episode, and very poorly portrayed to boot.

Anyway! LOL! I came looking for a YJ thread so I can omment on it's sheer awesomeness. I have been watching the show with my four year old and I have got to say that it makes me wanna do a game based around it! I love their take on Shazam! It made me better appreciate his character, and it makes me want to play him first chance I get! LOL! I love this show and hope it stays around for a while!

Loved young Zatanna, especially "Arrow Chick's" reaction to her.
And yeah, Horned One, I like their take on Captain Marvel too -- 12-year-old dumb, but wise as Solomon...lol...

Yup, this show is getting better. They finally made me care about Red Tornado (a thing that in comics was present from beggining) and teen Zatanna was pretty cool too. Some fans theorised that she'll join the team permanently... someday. I wont say no to that.

Well excuse me for not being in the same intelectual category as you and liking the show. Tip for you my Polish friend. If you're going to mock my intelligence, spell "intellectual" properly. The more you know, one to grow on, all that jazz.

Crap, I have no good counter-argument for that. You win this round, my "wise American" friend.
On a sidenote- "wise" and "American" in a same sentence without negation is unheard of in Poland. Thats how much we Poles hate you damn yanks. Not me, though. I love America and its weirdness.

I would hope that somebody in Romania right now isn't biting his nails worrying what Americans will think of his country, either. Anyway, don't take my opinion on the show personally, please. I just think it's mostly blech.

I thought the last episode was okay. It tied up the Red Tornado arc, but it had a few glaring plot holes. At least it didn't end with another one of those scenes where the villains are actually happy that everything went according to plan and blah blah blah the Light blah blah.

Of course we do! Otherwise, we the viewers might think that the heroic actions of the main characters we love and cheer for might actually be making some sort of difference in the world. And that would be downright nutty. Far better to be constantly reminded that they are hapless dupes in a grander scheme that the cannot possibly comprehend.
U___U' Honestly, I try to just ignore those parts of the show. Aside from some of these glaring problems, there *is* some clever writing, some solid voice acting, and the animation is A+. It's still a good show, it's just a little frustrating that the parts I don't like feel so easily avoidable.
