The big guns in the superhero world find that fighting aliens is a whole lot tougher than battling plain old earthly villains, so they join together under the moniker Justice League in this hour-long Cartoon Network offering. When Superman is duped into disarming the planet's warheads, huge buglike creatures land in several of earth's major cities and systematically begin destroying them, impervious to remaining weaponry. The conflict pits Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Hawk Girl, and interstellar refugee Martian Manhunter against the evil aliens. They're the same shape-changing beings that desecrated the Manhunter's home planet centuries before, which gives the wise Martian insight into their mad methods. This series marks a departure from the dark, more adult-themed superhero series and a return to the more simple good-versus-evil plot lines, making it both appropriate and palatable for ages 6 and up. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 Average Although Implausible Storyline and Pathetic Extras! August 20, 2006
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
It's an interesting time if you are a cartoon lover. We now have CGI playing an ever-increasing role in the genre and if indications of the success of "Chicken Little" and "Cars" is anything to go by, it looks like 2-D images like we get here are on the way out pretty soon. I guess as we already have quite a decent Spider-man out on CGI, it's only a matter of time before all cartoons including the DC characters get onto the bandwagon as well.
As for this disc, I was pretty disappointed. Although the sound quality was pretty good, the storyline is pretty lame and the overall running of the movie was just too short to do justice (pun intended) to the development of each character's "secret origins." In fact, we only get to see Wonder Woman and the Martian Manhunter's origins unless they are talking about the origin of the Justice League in which case, what's so secret about that?
Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, we have virtually nada on the Special Features side of things. All in all, quite a high price to pay for a dvd that barely runs over an hour and with little bonus features.
 Good. Ready for Set. December 18, 2005

Warner did the same thing with Batman the animated series. First they put out a bunch of cheap worthless bare bones single disc sets and then boom release the same episodes in awsome boxed sets filled with episodes with some good extras. That is coming on March 21, 2006 when Warner will release Justice League the complete first season. That set includes 26 episodes for less then triple the price of this set which includes three. Do the math. Don't buy this or any of Warners lame single disc releases. Save your money for the real thing this March.

Recovering from an auto accident and got hooked on the Batman animated series. Have all three volumes. Saw the review in Wizard magazine where they listed BAS, Superman and JL in the top 10 cartoons of all times. They were right. The BAtman series dark/art deco artwork, the plots... all beautiful and targeted for adults. However, I am having a hard time following up on the other works of Superman, Justice Leaque. Seen a few and all good work, but I am not able to follow which is first, second, beginning etc. Seems like they just put any episode on a dvd and published it. Will just rent for now. I absolutely hate buying a DVD and finding out I already have it in an anthology. The Batman series was great, well labeled and the episodes enjoyable as they built on the previous story. Why can't they do the same with the other series. It must be a DC thing. They don't label their graphic novels either. You never know which one you are reading. Hey, take a page from Marvel. They mark their issues: vol. 1, 2, 3 on the spine...how hard is that?
 Great movie! August 18, 2005

An all-around great movie - very suspenseful and really fun to watch. I'm not a huge comic book follower, but my boyfriend is and he loved it too. It's cool to find out the "origins" of these superheroes' friendship.
