Justice League Action

Let's get this clear, this is not young justice or voltron legendary defender, this is just a 10- minute episode cartoon that has no character development or story, but has a striking balance of humour and action. I hope the episodes get a little longer, because what I'm seeing is an instant gratification of a lot of good action and exposition. While I disliked the animation at first I can safely say now that it works quite well for the story and has some nostalgia of Bruce timms art style, and indeed, the art director did work for Bruce Timm. The cartoon mainly consists of shorts that revolve around the insanely big DC gallery of heroes and villains, were it quickly starts with an action scene, and ends with a punchline, but that doesn't mean it's not fun, I'm actually surprised at the balance they managed to reach. You don't get bored, and these 10 minutes end up being one of the finer times you spent in your day. All in all batman the brave and the bold ( the closes series to this, if not its original inspiration) has a finer art style and a longer more consistent plot, the only nitpick I have with this is like I said, too short. But for now, in this lackluster era of animation, I'm only enjoying Tmnt and voltron, and this is a fine addition to watch, surprisingly recommended.

Okay, I admit I was very harsh in a review I wrote a year ago about this show which was very negative and just plain harsh.

I admit even though this show may not be as violent or intense as Young Justice or the original Justice League. But I admit it is still a very good show to watch and very fun as well.

Even though I am generally not a fan of 11 minute formats for a cartoon I admit it actually works here. Plus unlike Teen Titans Go ot the Ben 10 reboot this show is actually watchable, has good action and has decent jokes which can make me laugh. I admit there were some bad episodes and some episodes there wasn't that much seriousness. But if it had more seasons I believe it would have gradually got better.

The voice cast is good and animation and art style wise good.

Also unlike DC Super Hero Girls or Teen Titans Go! this show is a good way to get younger kids into the DC universe. Overall, if you want something lighter or want to get your younger kids into the DC Universe I would recommend this and Batman the brave and the bold.

A lot of great things about this show were wasted by the format. The art was top notch.

Best animated version of Supergirl I've ever seen.

Really wanted to see more. The opening credits were awful and that noise it makes as soon as the show begins was painful for my ears and speakers. Great appearances by characters like Deadshot and Lobo. Really just failed by making the episodes so short. You can't build any suspense or mood in 11 minute segments. Then again, they weren't really going for that; which is another issue the show had. Balancing comedy and story is tricky.

Deserved another season or two. Could've been something special.

Disclaimer: I love this show. I love the characters and the universe and children's cartoons so you won't have me raving on how bad this show is... because it's not. 1. It's extremely funny in a decent way (unlike some other shows on cartoon network COUGHteentiansgoCOUGH). It has just the right amount of hilarity to action, and don't even get me started on Firestorm. 2. The characters are really great, but you probably should have some understanding of the DC universe. Batman is pretty much Batman the Animated Series Batman (Episodes: Time Share and Rage of the Red Lanterns) and Superman is really the boy scout that I personally love. He's not just powerful and he doesn't have a god-like detachment and seriousness. He's funny, light-hearted, and ready for action. Wonder Woman is great. She's pretty much a mix between Batman and Superman but is an incredible character all her own. (Episode: The Trouble With Truth) I love love love the junior justice leaguers Stargirl, Firestorm, and Blue Beetle. (Episode: Field Trip (Firestorm: Freezer Burn & Nuclear Family Values, Stargirl: Supernatural adventures in babysitting, Blue Beetle: Time Share)) They're inexperienced but ready to learn and make jokes along the way! In the show, many characters that you wouldn't know about as a casual fan pop up. Plastic Man, Booster Gold, Constantine, and Space Cabbie are just a few of many excellent characters in both comedy and contribution to a larger universe. This show made me appreciate Green Arrow (Episode: Booster's Gold) and has many tie-ins to classic Silver Age justice league comics (Episode: Abate and Switch (They swap costumes)) 3.THE ANIMATION. The style and smoothness of the animation is the retro-classic-adventure that I personally love soooooooo much. When characters move swiftly, they are portrayed as a blur (a lot cooler than it sounds) so it looks fast and fluid. It's colorful in a good way and the backgrounds are really nice. I like the "poses" they sometimes do and it shows some character's powers in a really neat way. (Vixen especially, Episode: Garden of Evil) 4. Voice acting. I've heard bad voice acting. This is AMAZING voice acting. Also, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. Need I say more?

I could probably go on for ages about Shazam, Flash, Plastic Man, Green Arrow, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Green Lantern, Supergirl, Streaky and Krypto, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Riddler, Jonah Hex, Harley Quinn, and I'm ranting again. I really hope that if you're into comics, you'll at least try this excellent show.

I used to watch a lot of the superhero animated series in the '90s, but haven't seen any for a while. I'd heard this one was good so I thought I'd take a look, but the first episode lost me immediately.

I don't love the art style, but I could live with it. What I couldn't deal with was the manic pace. The series is pure action with virtually no time spent on story or character. The show starts with a fight, soon there's an explosion, more fighting, a little explanation, some more fighting.

The series from the '90s like Batman the Animated Series and X-Men had characters, stories, a point of view.

This show might be fine if you're a kid - I haven't been a kid since the '70s so I can't speak to that - but this series doesn't not give me much hope for the current state of TV kids cartoons.
