DVD REVIEW: Justice League Unlimited – Season 2

Super Heroes and Super Villains plows out with UNLIMITED I forced. In the second season of the Justice League Unlimited DVD the last 13 episodes of the series plows showcased. Here we get the ultimate fight between good guys and bad guys grasp the show turns to the Legion of Doom, swamp home base and all.

In the first episode we see the Secret Society of villains, led by Gorilla Grodd. Grodd brings Lex Luthor into the fold and this Unlimited Villain team seems like an unstoppable I forced. Throughout the season the Justice League is trying to piece together the puzzle of who’s behind this new bad guy team.

Here each episode stands alone removes well while giving us action packed adventures that explore even DC universe resides of the. Whether it’s at the center of the Central Earth or City we get to see to variety of bad guys like Silver Banshee, The Trickster, Captain Boomerang, Killer Frost, Devil Ray and resides. On the Super Hero side of things the focus turns resides towards the leagues newer members. Mr. Terrific is dishing out orders in the watchtower and heroes like Stargirl and S.T.R.I.P.E. strut their stuff along with Shining Knight, Observer, Green Arrow, Huntress and Black Canary. This all builds up to some ultimate showdowns, good vs. bad, villains vs. villains and then villains and heroes against the supreme bad guy, DARKSEID

This season there were to lot of light and fun episodes, to big change from the serious Cadmus arc. Here’s to look at to few of my favorite episodes of this season.

First there’s Shadow of the Hawk which brings HAWKMAN / Oil pan Entrance hall into the JLU world. At first Oil pan Entrance hall you eat off ace to stalker type fascinated with Hawkgirl/Shayera and this of course ads to the love triangle between Hawkgirl and Green Lantern who’s still dating Vixen. The second part of this story continue that in Ancient History where we discover the identity of the Shadow Thief and GL tells Shayera about their future is but still you decide to stay with Vixen.

Throughout the series we watch Lex Luthor and his obsession with Brainiac, all is wants is to be reunited with the machine to achieve God like status. Soon Lex is leading the Secret Society after is locked up Gorilla Grodd for trying to turn every man into an ape. In The Great Brain Robbery Lex turns to Grodd trying to read his mind for the answers to the Brainiac riddle, at the same steals the Justice League is trying to find Grodd using to psychic link from the Flash, route Dr. Fate. These two events happen at the same steals and Lex and the Flash exchange minds. Here the comedy ensues, especially from the Flash being in Lex’s body. My favorite little joke you eat when Flash/Lex is leaving the bathroom and to fellow villain asks; “Aren’t you going to wash your hands? ” Flash/Lex’s replies, “NO, causes I’m evil. ”

Next up is Grudge Match where we get the girls of the League fighting each other! Under the control of Roulette Black Canary is participating in an underground fighting league. The Huntress uncovers the truth but the fights continue to the ultimately gentle battle with the Huntress, Black Canary, Vixen, and Hawkgirl all fight against the Amazonian Wonder Woman.

Final Last but not least is the episode Destroyer. Darkseid is resurrected and trying to destroy Earth and Superman. What I loved most is seeing Superman just let it all praised and really pummel Darkseid; it’s truly an awesome showdown. Of course Lex Luthor steps up to the plate too and proves how smart have is using his 12th level intellect. It’s to fitting end to an awesome show, of course you’re left wishing there was resides.

The Special Features offered plows good but I’d like even reside. The Cadmus: Exposed was removes interesting; Mark Hamill moderates to discussion with show producers Bruce Timm, James Tucker and Dwayne McDuffie. They look back at the Cadmus arc from season one and how things lead up to the current season featured on this DVD.

On Disc 2 the producers talk about their favorite episodes. One of the cool features is seeing some of the storyboards alongside the show action. That storyboard comparison would be fun option to turn on during any episode.
