So who all has been able to see the first episode of JLU, and what did you think?

I loved the ep - decent plot, but great characters! I've been waiting for Supergirl to make an actual appearance (and for that matter, where were all these heroes when the Hawkmen were chasing the JL?), so now its down to waiting for Batgirl, Nightwing, the Teen Titans, Static Shock, Catwoman, etc. I love GL's Sisko-ized look - fits his personality much better. I find myself expecting to hear Avery Brooks doing the voice acting for GL .... Just one question - is that a new ring, or was he able to get it repaired? Green Arrow was fun - and a nice change. Instead of just having Batman as the "outsider" member because he just prefers being a loner, GA can take that "outsider" approach as well to "keep them honest", as Batman said. And I loved how GA finally decided to hang around and give the League a try .... ;D The show looks to be a good follow-up. Storywise it looks like they will be well organized: - Superman as the League "commander", so to speak - MM as the coordinator - GL and probably the other remaining original members as field commanders until the othe rheroes get settled in and find their way into established roles. I just hope we don't get a MASK-like sequence of MM querying the computer for the best heroes for the mission ..... ![](http://img44.photobucket.com/albums/v136/TTC_Forum/banghead.gif) I expect Hawkgirl to be brought up eventually, but for now its nice to see the JL getting on with business. And how many line-items are those new stations in the Wayne Enterprises budget this time? ;D I live the transporter - makes better sense than having a series of Javelin 7's .....

Wait whats weong with the Mat Tracker scenerio? Anyway... GL's new look is more fitting. I only saw a few episodes of JL. Just never seemed to apealing, but now with more caracters that I have heard of. I am getting into it. It also seems to be popular, and I wanted to find out why...

I don't know if we will have a defined "Use this person for this mission" type thing - but I don't think it would be too big of a deal. We are going to see an a ton of people & it isn't like they are churning out episode after episode. Obviously, each episode would have to be somewhat selective of who is in it. (with certain new characters getting multiple episodes in a row, perhaps?)
Many people (read: TNI) also want to see Batman characters in the show. I say - keep them out of it. Batman has already had his own cartoon & had many of his friends and villians show up. There are plenty of other characters out there which have not yet been animated that would be fun to see.
This episode in particular - eeennnhhh. Cookie cutter in too many ways for me. It'll probably take a little while for JLU to grow on me. I am still anxious to see the next episode though.

I'd like to see more of teh Batman characters show up. Not necessarily as part of the main plot, but maybe have the Bat-family in a throw away bit of coming back from a mission (just enough to animate them).
I'd also like an explanation of a few of the heroes I saw in the crowd shots. One looked like Star Sapphire (from the Injustice League) in a new costume - is this just similarity or has she pulled a Catwoman? Who was the yellow goofy-looking guy with the red fur thing (boa?) over his shoulders? And why is Orion joining a group that protects Earth - his only crusade is against Darkseid!

Just a heads up guys. I am going to be lost on most of these caracters. Well the non mainstream type anyway...

I know I definitely saw the Huntress.
You know what we could do is screenshot a bunch of the people in their "animated form" and create an ID thread for the JLU characters.

The Yellow and Red guy is probably the Creeper. He had a strong cult fallowing in the 70's and currently apppears rarely in Bat Titles. Orion and Barda were sent to Earth because the High Father new Earth was the begining battle ground for Darksieds domination of the Universe. Not bad for a guy that doesn't have cable ![](http://img44.photobucket.com/albums/v136/TTC_Forum/coffee.gif)

I can get the caps, but naming them is a little beyond me. There are some I recognized, but couldn't remember the name for. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) For example, the little guy perched on Wonder Woman's shoulder ..... I know who he is, and that he went by several names depending on whether he was shrinking or growing, but his "tiny" name escapes me - I keep coming up with Marvel characters ..... ![](http://img44.photobucket.com/albums/v136/TTC_Forum/banghead.gif)

The Atom.
If someone put up pics I could probably name them all and tell you a little about them. I was a big DC freak at one time.
