little gems in JLU

This isn't a review in the strictest sense, but I should mention that I'm loving the boxed set DVD for Justice League Unlimited. The packaging says "season one" on it, but it's actually the third season of the long-running "Justice League" show that started 2001 (after it underwent a slight reformatting and a title change). In fact, depending on who you ask, this box contains either just 1 season of 26 episodes, or 2 seasons of 13 episodes.

One thing I especially like about it is that it strikes a particular balance with its light-hearted moments such as in the Mr.Miracle episode... The show reintroduces the Flash after a very conspicuous absence in the early episodes. He's confiding with Elogated Man about how "they still treat[him] like their teenaged sidekick!" (this is, BTW, a nod to Wally West's history as Kid Flash back in the 70's). "Do you think I'm immature?"


Camera zooms out to reveal......that The Flash and Elogated Man have been engaged in Rock'em Sock'em Robots the whole time! "Not a bit," says Elogated Man. ^_^;
