Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Excellent, a Must See

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

This show is obviously designed to be a flexible program-filler with 10 minute short episodes,
plus few parents are likely to mind their kid to watch such a short cartoon.For me as a mature person those episodes are ideal whilst rowing on the machine, because they push me, but I would not recommend using such a show as a babysitter-substitute for your kids for follownig reasons.In the begining, superhearoes, such as Wonderwoman were created by the intelligent psychologist W.M. Marston for example, who also invented the lie detector (which is probably half the reason for the lasso).
It was meant to fill a gap in our needs to feel special, but superheroes are commercially so over-exploited that the entire concept is degraded to mere action - as Charles herold here wrote in another critique - without investing in any background-story anymore.The problem with this is that if you are a parent:
1.) The constant loud noises and bright flashes will make kids more aggressive (from the point of Chinese Medicine, because it destroys Liver-blood),
2.) and the non-stop heroism will (on a western psychological level) give rise to image neurosis, so that the kids will grow up feeling insignificant if they can't live up to normal powers,
3.) so from a western medical perspective they are more likely to run into adrenalin-burnouts or ADHD etc.The first idea of Superpowers initially came out of the realm of spirituality, and they were called "siddhis", but such series have the exact opposite effect on children by making them having to think so fast that their phantasy and ability to reflect may suffer when watching such stuff too often.

I think there are lot of characters in DC universe that do not get the spotlight that I think they deserve.By showing us new characters they are giving us a chance to explore DC Universe and some of the interesting characters in it.This series could be a great starting point for many characters.Not just the heroes but some of the Villeins in it are very interesting if you start learning about them.I think there is scope for more characters in the future.So, I hope this series continues the good work going.I have heard that the series is going to have 52 episodes for the 1st season.So,Can't wait to see the future episodes and future seasons.

Look I'm a fan of superhero cartoons, which I watch them if it's about a favorite hero or (in this case) team of them. With that being said, I usually give anything a fair shake before becoming a regular viewer. But the silliness with characters like Plastic Man and Booster Gold; and Manhunter's Earthly alter ego being given a British accent over how he sounded in Justice League Unlimited, will take some getting used to. Though aside from it, I think it's cool that Firestorm and Professor Martin Stine in addition to Cyborg (giving a nod to Galactic Guardians) are included as recurring characters. So at least it has that going for it.
