Channel Awesome personally, I really love John Stuart as GL. I don’t really like the goofball that is Hal Jordan. So it’s no surprise that my favourite episode is Blackest Night
My favorite is the one where grandy dies and gets his soul, it was interesting for me, since japanese people dont believe in a soul and the only other thing I saw that kind of explained about souls were the Brenden Fraser film "Bedazzled" .....yeah, not the best sorce for that kind of knowledge ^^" It floats XP So, the concept and idea was very impactful for me and I felt like I was seeing the episode through hawk girls eyes, since I was kind of like her with the ideas.
The Marines are a division of the US military. The word "soldier", applies to the army, navy, air force, etc, and they have differences between them. John wants to make it clear exactly what kind of soldier he is. My father was a Marine too, and he talks the same way.
ULGROTHA It also has something to do with the perception of the Marines as opposed to the Army. Marines are generally seen as tougher, more combat-oriented, more willing to stand up to fight, and more gung-ho about the military in general. Regardless of whether that’s the case, it can be considered an insult to compare a Marine to a soldier in the Army. Sort of like comparing a senior university student to a sophomore at the university. They’re both proficient at studying, but one is usually seen as more so.
The US armed Forces consists of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and the Marines. While the Marines are technically apart of the Department of the Navy they are their own Entity. If you are a Marine you are a Marine, If you are in the Army you are a Soldier. Its like saying Bavarians and Saxons are the same, while they are apart of the same country they are different cultural groups.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand I think that got charged recently. At least I don't think the Marines still get payed form the Department of the Navy. Brivato is the reason there is a destination. Marines like to think they're better then the common Army solder. It's a whole shit talking thing in the military. You should see an Army guy and a Navy guy shit talk the Coast Gard some time. Just don't join I'm if you're not part of the military.
Even if you knew he was gonna come back, Superman’s death and everyone’s reactions in part one were just... too fucking good not to be sucked in. From Diana ready to punch a hole through Toyman’s head to Batman struggling with processing his grief to Wally taking his sacrifice as inspiration to rise above, there are no weak moments.
Martian Should be many times faster as well as a telepath so really Batman should be on the floor drooling if he wished. I did notice in this cartoon everyone is horribly nerfed but Batman and John who just lowers his shields for no reason, and Hawkgirl was horribly op with her mace (she slapped back a planet busting laser). It got better in the later seasons.
Aw. Eclipsed didn't make the list. I really like that episode. For those who are wondering what Eclipsed is about, it centers around our local Mr. Vice Guy, The Flash, who has taken to sponsorships to earn himself some money for what is all but stated to be fun times with girls in a van of his own as he shows his much more straightlaced and now none too amused partner Green Lantern. This gets used to get the Justice League called out by a TV talk show host named Gordon Godfrey, with increasingly ridiculous accusations such as claiming the JL cause more marriages to end in either divorce or death, while calling them cowards for refusing to show up after Flash already had done that to end up being humiliated with the aforementioned nonsensical comments. May I point out that Flash displays the following of the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust (goes without saying), Greed (again, goes without saying), Pride (gladly accepts the sponsorships for things like the van in the first place), Gluttony (everything involving the van), and Wrath (rages at a director for using cheesy lines). They ultimately contribute to increasingly more and actually legitimate ammo for Godfrey's criticisms. In the midst of this, the action plot is that an ominous crystal had been found by the army and passed around army members who would suddenly act sociopathic and hum an eerie tune, while an old warrior who seems crazy follows the path the crystal. Eventually, the crystal is in the hands of the general, who before enacting a plan to use nukes would catch yet another of Godfrey's rants about the "Just-Us League" being able to destroy the world if they wanted. The general then has a soldier tell him how to attract the JL and follows the jokingly provided advice: put on a gaudy costume and attack a lot of people, with the general's own added touch of proclaiming that "mankind's time will be forever eclipsed." The available JL members stops the attack but as they finish, Wonder Woman suddenly drops the general from a would-be fatal height, prompting Flash to catch him and call her on it. The JL members leave, with Wonder Woman humming the eerie tune. End Part 1. Part 2 is a show of how Flash is much more than some lewd and avaricious superpowered costume-wearer. The available JL members interrogate the general, who is suddenly confused about what had happened, and ultimately mentions about a potential star-busting weapon while being watched by Wonder Woman, who is suddenly abrasive enough to show very vocal annoyance with Flash when he offers coffee while talking about how his sponsors dropped him for all the problems that have happened. The JL leave only to get attacked by that old warrior, who focuses on Wonder Woman, but manage to restrain them. As Flash is about to leave with the JL, he hears the old warrior's ramblings include "mankind's time, forever eclipsed", which gets Flash to listen to the old warrior as a result of catching the sudden connection with the general's actions. The old warrior, going by the name of Mophir, reveals the story of the crystal being an old race of snake people called Ophidians who upon realizing that they had lost their war had the remaining survivors' souls occupy the same crystal from before, that was guarded by Mophir before it went along the army members and found its way to Wonder Woman. Flash, now aware of what is happening, takes measures to intercept the crystal, but though the crystal is momentarily stopped from possessing any members of the JL anymore, brash action by Hawkgirl where she smashes the crystal causes the flying remnants to fly right onto the bodies of the JL other than Flash, the only one fast enough to evade them. Flash has to outmaneuver the now possessed JL, who enact the plan to send the aforementioned star-busting weapon to destroy the sun, and ultimately manages to remove the possession by drawing the JL to a room with a very high megawatt light that he turns on to overwhelm the crystal remnants and free the JL from possession. But it's not over, as there's the little problem of the sun being attacked by the weapon, which would freeze over and darken the planet. The JL's only recourse is to have Green Lantern provide a runway for Flash to run along to deliver a countermeasure to the weapon, requiring precise timing to stop the weapon without damaging the sun itself. This plan succeeds with Flash overwhelmed into hospitalization, though once he starts feeling alright, he milks the moment to say he'd need "mouth to mouth." The end result is that the JL's actions getting celebrated, Gordon Godfrey's show losing popularity and getting deathslotted with the guy trying to save face, and Flash giving up the sponsorship gig and recommending Mophir as his replacement. What I like is how it shows that ultimately Flash is, among other things, a Chivalrous Pervert, a guy you can count on when the chips are down even if his general actions, especially toward the opposite sex, do warrant caution and sense. Nevertheless, as shown with his interactions with Mophir, the instant you show yourself deserving the benefit of the doubt, he will listen, he will figure things out, and he will barely hesitate before risking his life to save others. This, not the sponsorships he quit at the end, is what makes him a hero. What makes it even more interesting is that he has his clear share of vices. Clumsy cowboy he may be, but they do not deter him from ultimately doing what is right. Flash may be the show-stealer of the episode, but we can't forget the villains. More specifically, did you catch that they brought about not only their own downfalls but each other's as well? Godfrey kept bashing on the JL, in the process providing that ever so important remark about how they could bring about great destruction, and ended up shamed so badly he couldn't even show up on Unlimited, by how the JL SAVED the world instead from a force that acted on that same remark. The Ophidians' souls, meanwhile, tried to mess with the JL directly in the interest of causing more destruction and ended up exposed and stopped from dealing more damage while being the catalyst for the problem the world needed saving from that led to Godfrey's credibility being shot for his attacks on the JL. That's right: Godfrey and the Ophidians ultimately shot themselves and each other in the foot. Suffice to say how Eclipsed is *VERY* well-woven as a good guys VS bad guys story. It's even better when you realize that that's creatively applied, when Flash is both very high-key and clearly interested in indulging on his status as a superhero if it means fun with the ladies, whereas Godfrey and the Ophidians are intelligent threats with the former only interested in turning the public against the JL and just using his talk show to do that, and the latter hiding behind whoever they can while gaining more ability to suddenly deal whatever damage they can. And yet at the end of the day, we know who we are rooting for: the guy, called the Fastest Man In The World, who will sit down with a seemingly crazy old person to determine how to protect others and give the old person a good deal for his own contributions.
It's funny how a cartoon meant for children handled the death of superman better than a live action movie. Also hilarious is that it's fans claim the movie is so adult that's why it's good.
I go back and rewatch a few of my favorite episodes every year or so. Flash and Substance from Unlimited (the flash museum episode) is one of my favorite episodes of TV. Its one of very few episodes that dive into the flash's character more than just superficially and man I love it for that.
joe momma better than live action not that live action is bad but this universes portrail of the characters is my favorite Mark hamil is the joker and martian manhunter😍 And the flash is realky balanced out between goofy joke maker smart and the moral hart of the group, he makes jokes vut you also know hes a men of science and one if the sweetest characters
No sir, the Martian Manhunter is a black actor Carl Lumbly. Hamill is Solomon Grundy, Joker and the Fire Lord. Clancy Brown is Luthor, Long Feng the Dai Li and Nakone from Korra..... He's also Mr Crab in Sponge Bob. (O:
Bruce Timm once said in interview that this series is his favorite work of his, and I wholeheartedly agree. Justice League and ESPECIALLY unlimited is some of the most spectacularly animated, well acted, tightly written, well paced storytelling in the history of television. I know a lot of people are REALLY fond of Batman TAS and I too enjoy it and recognize it's greatness, but it had it's fair share of animation and pacing issues. This show (and again, unlimited especially), was the Batman TAS formula ground into perfection.
I think you're so right. TAS was more experimental so you'd get the odd weird episode but it also meant that you could pick and choose. JL is like a swiss watch, it's organized and immaculately constructed.
There are no Bad Justice league Episodes.The whole show is Awesome.From the Justice League and Unlimited.This show was made with love and passion and emotion.Not like that other show(I am looking at you Justice league Action)
The animation is atrocious,the episodes are silly. Maybe it's made for younger viewers i don't know. But which justice league a kid would like better?The new one(action) or Justice League & Unlimited?
Viknix Now that you mention it, probably the latter. It has the advantage because of how well the drama is mixed in. One episode of JLU almost had me in tears (the one about Huntress trying to kill the Pale Whale Man).
Well, as someone who was a kid when they watched Justice League, I would have to say that one, simply because when JLU came along all the excess characters confused me, and action is even shorter again isn't it? where as the I really enjoyed the 40 minute storylines, but it would be different for everyone
For real though. If you ever want a firm punch of quality and nostalgia right in the heart the animated DC show openings will get you ever time. I just started tearing up a little just remembering the Superman and JL openings. C'=
Justice League (show) is a freakin Masterpiece it remains very dear in the hearts of many (including me) and will never be forgotten this was such a great list IMO I hope the JL film will be so good just like how the JL show was and I can't wait for it!!!!!!! :)
master5 gaming and other stuff I'm not exactly saying "JL is gonna be so good!!!" I'm just saying I *hope* it will be good I'm a bit cautious because it will be (at least mostly because for me it is Snyder's movie imo) a Joss Wheton film
Top 5 Best Danny Phantom Episodes Top 5 Best Ben 10 Episodes Top 5 Best Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Episodes Top 5 Best Transformers: Prime Episodes Top 5 Best Static Shock Episodes Top 5 Best Spectacular Spider-Man Episodes
Where The Hell was Wild Cards? That was an amazing episode, The Joker Stole that episode Figuratively and Literally (For those who don't know what I mean watch it and see what I mean)
The Venture Bros S2 has "Escape from the House of the Mummies Part 2" an episode which is part 2 of a non existing episode showed on the recap and at the end you see a preview for the 3rd part that also doesn't exist.
JLU next year? Damn! I gotta say I'm surprised Wild Card wasn't at the very least an honorable mention if for nothing else then not only do you have a Joker centered episode but also the reveal of Hawkgirl's face which was something as a kid I looked forward to. It was the timer right? That's probably why.
My favourite episode of Justice League (Unlimited, mind you) is "The Great Brain Robbery". Why? Because of this really simple exchange: "You gonna wash your hands?" "Nooo. Cuz I'm _Evil"_
Clancy Brown played a waaay better Flash as Luthor than Michael Rosenbaum Luthor as Flash. Clancy spoke and behave PERFECTLY as the Flash in Luthor's body.
Don't disagree with #1, but #2 should have been Wild Cards. That was a great romp as the Justice League took on the Teen Titans, I mean the Royal Flush Gang. I'd also add 'Secret Society' as a #4 or #5. This one was a little better than 'Injustice for All' because Grodd didn't mind control the Leaguers into fighting, he just pushed buttons that were already there. Grodd and Martian Manhunter are a great villain/hero pairing.
Rahsaan Footman Nah. Number 2 was the right choice considering the Justice League’s many team ups with the Justice Society and the whole introduction to alternate universes.
Starcrossed definitely deserves the #1 spot. It's been years since I've seen the show and have admittedly forgotten most of the episodes, but Starcrossed always stood out to me. It usually takes a powerful emotional moment for me to remember a show or movie in the long term.
The Cadmus arc was amazing. For my money, it's the best exploration of the idea of these godlike beings operating without oversight, the potential for corruption, and how us lowly mortals might react, or overreact.
The best way to punish Luthor is not to lock him up in a regular jail. But rather, imprison him inside of a jail outside of space and time. That way, even he with all his "genius" couldn't break out
I've never really watched Justice League only seen bits and pieces. But this has certainly pushed me to go watch it all soon! Might I suggest a top 5 Young Justice episodes? That I've seen and is an incredible series. Great video! :D
Spicy watch Justice League if you ever get the chance. It is different from Young Justice in terms of animation, character development, etc. Like Young Justice, though, it is a great series for so many reasons.
Does anyone else remember that episode where they get turned into kids and little Diana is crushing on Bruce the whole time. I always thought that episode was freaking adorable.
At least the "hereafter" funeral is better than the Batman v Superman funeral!!!! They didn't know Superman regenerated from the sun and then died again without anyone noticing that "Doomsday" is not his F***ING weakness!!!!!! F***!!!!!!
My top 5 Justice League episodes 1. A Better World 2. Secret Origins 3. Starcrossed 4. Twlight 5. Hereafter Bruce Timm and co did such an amazing job in not only establishing the DCAU but also with the Justice League especially as he didn't want to do it originally but it ended up being one of the greatest superhero shows ever, from the way it was drawn to the animation to the way the dialogue / stories were written, it was all done so well that every episode you watched felt like a mini movie.
Dialogue for If I had the chance to talk about the honorable mentions in the video: In Blackest Night from season 1: Being the episode after the eventful "Secret Origins" This episode is by far my favorite of all time, this was the second episode in the DCAU that centered around Green Lantern since STAS's "In Brightest Day", the episode follows John Stewart brought to the unjust planet Ajuris 5 being held on trial for destroying the planet Ajuris 4, and its up to Superman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, and HawkGirl to prove John's innocence it's later revealed that the villainous robotic Manhunters attempted to frame John Stewart to make the Green Lantern corps look bad in an attempt to gain the power of the GL Central power battery on the Planet Oa because Spoiler Alert they were created by the Guardians of the universe, before they decided to use Green Lanterns, this is the first time we get to see some other members of the Green Lantern corps like Gallies, Arkus, ToMa'Rae and Kilowog who unlike the other green lanterns chose to stick up for John, not to mention how impressive HawkGirl kicked their asses. however we didn't get to see Kyle Rayner or Hal Jordan until JLU, I also like how John starts to doubt himself worthy of being a green lantern, but then realized he doesn't need to believe in himself because his friends already believe in him, it's Phil Lamar at his finest, the best part about this episode is how flash volunteers to defend john as his lawyer and how the judges say that they "solved their lawyer problem" which in real life standards is really unfair and unjust but the league made the judges and their prosecutor realize how stupid they make themselves look in font of their own court and jury, maybe if they decided to live with their "Lawyer Problem" they would have avoided this utter humiliation, I give the Flash a salute for his loyalty to his fellow leaguemates,
Anyone else find the robot at 10:15 to look a bit like MARVEL's Ultron(one of his versions,anyways??) but me?? The multiple eyes,mouth and things on his back...hmmm???
5: Interesting. Batman is win in this. 4: Never saw these Episodes outside of SFDEBRIS and it deserves the place. 3: Good stuff. 2: Hell yeah with the golden age. And Bruce Timm got to shoehorn a little bit of an anime he likes: Evangelion. 1: No problem. I prefer another pair starring GL John and Hawkgirl Ep that involves Despero(sp)
How is Wild Cards not mentioned? I'd like anyone to please give a reason why it's not in the top 5. I'm not saying it needs to be in this list. But I'm unable to understand how it's not. Humor, real time counter, a great group of villians with a good mix of powers, one of the most powerful characters in the series, so many twists, a pretty amazing plan from Joker, and a great end to the whole thing.
Just gonna say it Legends stuck with me the most as a kid. Episode really helped emphasize that Justice League wasn't just some silly Super Hero Show aimed at selling toys. It had depth and character that super hero shows today wish they had but sadly don't.
Lois' breakdown at Superman's funeral always makes me cry. And it gets worse when you realize in this world she's yelling at & crying on her ex boyfriend's shoulder as well as the shoulder of her dead lover's sworn enemy.
Hereafter is my all-time favourite episode/s. All that you mentioned, and to top it off, a redemption story for Vandal Savage, one of my favourite comic book villains. It tops my list every time.
I honestly can't choose between DC and Marvel and its mainly because i love the DC animated universe and the Marvel cinematic universe. Both universes are really freakin awesome.
How the funking funknuts is Wild Cards not on this list? It’s an episode narrated by The Joker, for crying out loud, and is the closest thing we’ll ever get to the OG Justice League fighting the OG Teen Titans (the cast voices the Royal Flush Gang)
Before this series: "Where's Superman? Where's Batman? Where's Wonder Woman? Where's Hal Jordan?" After: "Where's The Question? Where's Green Arrow? Where's Hawkgirl? Where's John Stewart?!"
What are your favorite Justice League episodes? What should Walter cover on a future Top 5? Let us know in the comments.
i agree with you on the best episodes and the best show
Channel Awesome personally, I really love John Stuart as GL. I don’t really like the goofball that is Hal Jordan. So it’s no surprise that my favourite episode is Blackest Night
I want to say stargate sg1 but it will probably be voted down.
Channel Awesome where's Batman beyond
My favorite is the one where grandy dies and gets his soul, it was interesting for me, since japanese people dont believe in a soul and the only other thing I saw that kind of explained about souls were the Brenden Fraser film "Bedazzled" .....yeah, not the best sorce for that kind of knowledge ^^" It floats XP So, the concept and idea was very impactful for me and I felt like I was seeing the episode through hawk girls eyes, since I was kind of like her with the ideas.
“That list will be saved for next year.” YOU MANIAC!
*remembers it’s mid November* YOU MANIAC!
EmperorTigerstar my thoughts exactly
Plenty of time for you to make more maps I hope!
EmperorTigerstar LMFAO!
Ya I knoooowww
EmperorTigerstar hey it's my fav mapper!
Hawkgirl: You're a soldier--
Green Lantern: Marine.
Hawkgirl: What?
Green Lantern: I'm a marine. Not a soldier. There is a distinction.
The Marines are a division of the US military. The word "soldier", applies to the army, navy, air force, etc, and they have differences between them. John wants to make it clear exactly what kind of soldier he is. My father was a Marine too, and he talks the same way.

A soldier’s in the army
An airmen’s in the Air Force
A sailor’s in the Navy
And a marine... works for the Navy
Hehehehhe
The US armed Forces consists of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and the Marines. While the Marines are technically apart of the Department of the Navy they are their own Entity. If you are a Marine you are a Marine, If you are in the Army you are a Soldier.

From Diana ready to punch a hole through Toyman’s head to Batman struggling with processing his grief to Wally taking his sacrifice as inspiration to rise above, there are no weak moments.
Darkest Night had to be my all time favorite from season 1 as I have been a huge fan of the Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps.
Batman: "Unless you wanna try and stop me"
Martian Manhunter (to himself): "There's like a million ways I could stop you but oh well just move along"
Akatsukileader9 well he is smart enough to know batman carries his incindiary device with him to cripple manhunter
Martian Should be many times faster as well as a telepath so really Batman should be on the floor drooling if he wished. I did notice in this cartoon everyone is horribly nerfed but Batman and John who just lowers his shields for no reason, and Hawkgirl was horribly op with her mace (she slapped back a planet busting laser). It got better in the later seasons.

I go back and rewatch a few of my favorite episodes every year or so. Flash and Substance from Unlimited (the flash museum episode) is one of my favorite episodes of TV. Its one of very few episodes that dive into the flash's character more than just superficially and man I love it for that.

Mark hamil is the joker and martian manhunter😍
And the flash is realky balanced out between goofy joke maker smart and the moral hart of the group, he makes jokes vut you also know hes a men of science and one if the sweetest characters
I watched Justice League and Unlimited earlier this year (After working through the other DCAU stuff), and they're both fantastic series.
No sir, the Martian Manhunter is a black actor Carl Lumbly. Hamill is Solomon Grundy, Joker and the Fire Lord. Clancy Brown is Luthor, Long Feng the Dai Li and Nakone from Korra..... He's also Mr Crab in Sponge Bob. (O:
joe momma Almost too well to the point that it's crazy young justice season 3 only recently got greenlighted

You forgot the sexual tension of Bruce and Diana in JL. They both were just perfect for each other in JL lol.
Humam242 yeah Wonder Woman and Batman were a much better couple then her and Superman now
I thought it happened more prominently in JLUnlimited...
Bruce Timm once said in interview that this series is his favorite work of his, and I wholeheartedly agree.

This show (and again, unlimited especially), was the Batman TAS formula ground into perfection.
I think you're so right. TAS was more experimental so you'd get the odd weird episode but it also meant that you could pick and choose.
JL is like a swiss watch, it's organized and immaculately constructed.
There are no Bad Justice league Episodes.The whole show is Awesome.From the Justice League and Unlimited.This show was made with love and passion and emotion.Not like that other show(I am looking at you Justice league Action)
Viknix Is it really that bad? I quite like it.
worst =/= bad. You can make a list of the worst JL episodes, but it wouldn't mean that they were bad
The animation is atrocious,the episodes are silly.
Maybe it's made for younger viewers i don't know.
But which justice league a kid would like better?The new one(action) or Justice League & Unlimited?
Viknix Now that you mention it, probably the latter. It has the advantage because of how well the drama is mixed in. One episode of JLU almost had me in tears (the one about Huntress trying to kill the Pale Whale Man).
Well, as someone who was a kid when they watched Justice League, I would have to say that one, simply because when JLU came along all the excess characters confused me, and action is even shorter again isn't it? where as the I really enjoyed the 40 minute storylines, but it would be different for everyone
One of the best cartoon intros ever!
steamfan9000 the JLU one is better
Arthur Vale It is more hype but I think the first one is more nostalgic...
JLU = More hype
JL = More nostalgic
Sebastien O. Agreed
For real though. If you ever want a firm punch of quality and nostalgia right in the heart the animated DC show openings will get you ever time. I just started tearing up a little just remembering the Superman and JL openings. C'=
Injustice for all should've been retitled "the swag of batman". Also, TAKES NOTES SNYDER THIS IS HOW YOU HANDLE THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN!!!!
Injustice for All also had one of the best Joker laughs ever imo
Gio A It's better than Superman/Doomsday and Snore Gagnorock. How they fucked up Thor Ragnorok and Planet Hulk in one film
Gio A
I dunno how the movie universe doesn't learn from the animated universe. It's better than the MCU.
Statutory Grape That Superman return was great!!! I loved the Justice League movie.
Gio A don't worry, snyder is out of the game.
Justice League (show) is a freakin Masterpiece it remains very dear in the hearts of many (including me) and will never be forgotten this was such a great list IMO I hope the JL film will be so good just like how the JL show was and I can't wait for it!!!!!!! :)
It's a joss whedon movie, so no, it wont be good
A Joss Whedon take over of a Snyder DC film, the chances of train wreckage are very high.
master5 gaming and other stuff I'm not exactly saying "JL is gonna be so good!!!" I'm just saying I *hope* it will be good I'm a bit cautious because it will be (at least mostly because for me it is Snyder's movie imo) a Joss Wheton film
bh5496 True but I hope it won't be!!!! :)
I'm hoping it's going to be good, but from the trailers and DC's previous efforts...
Let's just say I'll not be betting it's good.

"Wally West, Clark Kent,...BATMAN!"
I always loved watching Starcrossed as a kid
"Wally West, Clark Kent,"
*pulls off mask and there is another one underneath*
"Batman"
Where The Hell was Wild Cards? That was an amazing episode, The Joker Stole that episode Figuratively and Literally
(For those who don't know what I mean watch it and see what I mean)
Heck yeah! This show is awesome. I recently binge watched every episode, including Unlimited.
One of my favorite episodes is Comfort and Joy. I believe it’s an awesome episode of the show and is a great Christmas special for anyone.
I remember buying a DVD as a kid that only had Part 2 of story on it and it drove me nuts!
Dirvinator 😘
Still better than just part one and never finding out how it ends.
The Venture Bros S2 has "Escape from the House of the Mummies Part 2" an episode which is part 2 of a non existing episode showed on the recap and at the end you see a preview for the 3rd part that also doesn't exist.
JLU next year? Damn!
I gotta say I'm surprised Wild Card wasn't at the very least an honorable mention if for nothing else then not only do you have a Joker centered episode but also the reveal of Hawkgirl's face which was something as a kid I looked forward to.
It was the timer right? That's probably why.
Yeah that was a good one.
YES
Wild Cards was great. Both seasons had great episodes, making it hard to create a list of only 10.
Lol it was 4 months not a year as it came out today
Wow, "The Savage Time" didn't even get an honorable mention?
Buddy, that's an Unlimited episode
Unforgivable
My favorite episodes are the savage time ones, that stuff with John is amazing and the stuff with Steve and Dianna still is really emotional for me
It's by far the best episode of the series
agreed, ridiculous.... its the best part of the whole series!
Has there been an opening this epic in the history of animation?
Shit sent shivers down my nerdy spine.
Zahinn this and X-Men
2nd best animated series
The 1st being Batman of course
My favourite episode of Justice League (Unlimited, mind you) is "The Great Brain Robbery".
Why? Because of this really simple exchange:
"You gonna wash your hands?"
"Nooo. Cuz I'm _Evil"_
Clancy Brown played a waaay better Flash as Luthor than Michael Rosenbaum Luthor as Flash. Clancy spoke and behave PERFECTLY as the Flash in Luthor's body.
Also: "I have no idea who this is." and "I, Lex Luthor, find that suggestion preposterous"
That episode has so many great quotes
They gave Clancy most of the lines..
Just the IDEA of The Flash, the most jokey and least serious of the JL, and Lex Luthor, a serious, cruel mastermind, switching bodies is hilarious.
best part was that the voice actor for Flash actually played Luthor on Smallville
Justice League > Avengers
Moar Krabs The show alone stomps all MCU films. Fact
Moar Krabs Let the fanboy comments on both sides pour in like fucking water.
Moar Krabs true
Moar Krabs X-Men > Justice league > Poorman's justice league I mean the avengers
Why troll?
The ending of Legends makes me cry.
The Justice Guild were true heroes that earned respect and admiration, and surprisingly... I’ll miss them.
in number 3: Lobo
The Justice Lords have(CLEARLY) the better outfits of all I have ever seen in DC.
Could you cover top 5 Spectacular Spider-Man episodes?
Don't disagree with #1, but #2 should have been Wild Cards. That was a great romp as the Justice League took on the Teen Titans, I mean the Royal Flush Gang.
I'd also add 'Secret Society' as a #4 or #5. This one was a little better than 'Injustice for All' because Grodd didn't mind control the Leaguers into fighting, he just pushed buttons that were already there. Grodd and Martian Manhunter are a great villain/hero pairing.
Rahsaan Footman Nah. Number 2 was the right choice considering the Justice League’s many team ups with the Justice Society and the whole introduction to alternate universes.
+Rahsaan Footman For the reasons you stated, Secret Society gets my vote for #1.
Starcrossed definitely deserves the #1 spot. It's been years since I've seen the show and have admittedly forgotten most of the episodes, but Starcrossed always stood out to me. It usually takes a powerful emotional moment for me to remember a show or movie in the long term.
My favorite episodes will always be "The Once and Future Thing."
The Cadmus arc was amazing. For my money, it's the best exploration of the idea of these godlike beings operating without oversight, the potential for corruption, and how us lowly mortals might react, or overreact.
But speaking of hereafter. Netherrealm can we get that future super man costume in injustice. That shit is fucking awesome
Way too many good episodes to a phenomenal series. Too bad the last season was so disjointed compared to the rest.
Racism is terrible but that joke (toward racism itself) was amazing
The best way to punish Luthor is not to lock him up in a regular jail.
But rather, imprison him inside of a jail outside of space and time. That way, even he with all his "genius" couldn't break out
Channel Awesome next year are you (bleeping) kidding me!?
I always had the biggest crush on Shayera. I was a little heartbroken when she betrayed everyone.
Top 5 Hey Arnold! Episodes!
OH GOD BATMAN'S A FURRY!!!!
Ray Kanen not really. He was playing Cheetah's emotions to raise dissention and cause problems for the Injustice gang.
He is called Batman, his main on/off crush is called Catwoman. Why is this a suprise?
Top 5 teen titans episodes
Top 5 JLU Episodes:
5. The Return
4. The Once and Future Thing
3. Divided We Fall
2. For the Man Who Has Everything
1. Epilogue
I've never really watched Justice League only seen bits and pieces. But this has certainly pushed me to go watch it all soon!
Might I suggest a top 5 Young Justice episodes? That I've seen and is an incredible series.
Great video! :D
Spicy watch Justice League if you ever get the chance. It is different from Young Justice in terms of animation, character development, etc. Like Young Justice, though, it is a great series for so many reasons.
I love the first two or three with those weird alien shapeshifters. You never learn much about them and they never return.
Does anyone else remember that episode where they get turned into kids and little Diana is crushing on Bruce the whole time.
I always thought that episode was freaking adorable.
At least the "hereafter" funeral is better than the Batman v Superman funeral!!!! They didn't know Superman regenerated from the sun and then died again without anyone noticing that "Doomsday" is not his F***ING weakness!!!!!! F***!!!!!!
Dr. Strange Bat But Batman did know and questioned his death the whole time.
Talia Mason I'll give them credit for that! Batfleck is the best thing in that movie......and Wonder Woman.
when you do jlu please have epilogue in the upper 3 it is one of the best episodes
The new Justice league action is outstanding, but it's on for 15 min Saturday morning. What the hell is that cartoon Network!?!!!??
There’s a reason Pokemon moved to Disney XD, and why Transformers Robots in Disguise and Sonic Boom’s fanbases are cult
I wish they did a origin of how John Stewart became Green Lantern
My top 5 Justice League episodes
1. A Better World
2. Secret Origins
3. Starcrossed
4. Twlight
5. Hereafter
Bruce Timm and co did such an amazing job in not only establishing the DCAU but also with the Justice League especially as he didn't want to do it originally but it ended up being one of the greatest superhero shows ever, from the way it was drawn to the animation to the way the dialogue / stories were written, it was all done so well that every episode you watched felt like a mini movie.
anyone else think A Better World was the insperation for Injustice? If I'm stating the obvious, I apologize.
Honorable Mentions: Every Other Episode
“You can kiss my axe”
Dialogue for If I had the chance to talk about the honorable mentions in the video:
In Blackest Night from season 1:
Being the episode after the eventful "Secret Origins" This episode is by far my favorite of all time, this was the second episode in the DCAU that centered around Green Lantern since STAS's "In Brightest Day", the episode follows John Stewart brought to the unjust planet Ajuris 5 being held on trial for destroying the planet Ajuris 4, and its up to Superman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, and HawkGirl to prove John's innocence it's later revealed that the villainous robotic Manhunters attempted to frame John Stewart to make the Green Lantern corps look bad in an attempt to gain the power of the GL Central power battery on the Planet Oa because Spoiler Alert they were created by the Guardians of the universe, before they decided to use Green Lanterns, this is the first time we get to see some other members of the Green Lantern corps like Gallies, Arkus, ToMa'Rae and Kilowog who unlike the other green lanterns chose to stick up for John, not to mention how impressive HawkGirl kicked their asses. however we didn't get to see Kyle Rayner or Hal Jordan until JLU, I also like how John starts to doubt himself worthy of being a green lantern, but then realized he doesn't need to believe in himself because his friends already believe in him, it's Phil Lamar at his finest, the best part about this episode is how flash volunteers to defend john as his lawyer and how the judges say that they "solved their lawyer problem" which in real life standards is really unfair and unjust but the league made the judges and their prosecutor realize how stupid they make themselves look in font of their own court and jury, maybe if they decided to live with their "Lawyer Problem" they would have avoided this utter humiliation, I give the Flash a salute for his loyalty to his fellow leaguemates,
Anyone else find the robot at 10:15 to look a bit like MARVEL's Ultron(one of his versions,anyways??) but me?? The multiple eyes,mouth and things on his back...hmmm???
5: Interesting. Batman is win in this.
4: Never saw these Episodes outside of SFDEBRIS and it deserves the place.
3: Good stuff.
2: Hell yeah with the golden age. And Bruce Timm got to shoehorn a little bit of an anime he likes: Evangelion.
1: No problem. I prefer another pair starring GL John and Hawkgirl Ep that involves Despero(sp)
How is Wild Cards not mentioned? I'd like anyone to please give a reason why it's not in the top 5.
I'm not saying it needs to be in this list. But I'm unable to understand how it's not.
Humor, real time counter, a great group of villians with a good mix of powers, one of the most powerful characters in the series, so many twists, a pretty amazing plan from Joker, and a great end to the whole thing.
Just gonna say it Legends stuck with me the most as a kid. Episode really helped emphasize that Justice League wasn't just some silly Super Hero Show aimed at selling toys. It had depth and character that super hero shows today wish they had but sadly don't.
Can we please give Bruce Timm and the rest of of his gang the helm on crafting the story for DCEU?!?!?
I'm actually watching the series right now (just took a break to see this vid). Currently watching "Hearts and Minds".
Lois' breakdown at Superman's funeral always makes me cry. And it gets worse when you realize in this world she's yelling at & crying on her ex boyfriend's shoulder as well as the shoulder of her dead lover's sworn enemy.
oh ya, I forgot they were together at some point. The writers ever do anything with that?
They focused more on their relationship in Superman TAS and chose to focus more on Superman leading the Justice League in JL TAS.
I meant her past relationship with Lex
The Terror Beyond was one of my favorites as it was riddled with Lovecraftian mythology and gave more depth to Solomon Grundy.
Flash and Substance was my favorite. I can't help but laugh every time I see the conversation between Flash and the Prankster.
JLU - Divided We Fall and Epilogue
Hereafter is my all-time favourite episode/s. All that you mentioned, and to top it off, a redemption story for Vandal Savage, one of my favourite comic book villains. It tops my list every time.
This show was amazing
I actually like taking Doomsday. They're too many yelling mindless beasts out there and very few even display emotion.
I get that Starcrossed was number 1, but why wasn't Divided We Fall an honorable mention?! 😭
I honestly can't choose between DC and Marvel and its mainly because i love the DC animated universe and the Marvel cinematic universe. Both universes are really freakin awesome.
I considered Solomon Grundy’s death to be Justice League’s finest moments. It’s about a man who became a monster and in the end, found his humanity
That "you're a credit to your people" line fuckin killed me. Hold on, I'm gonna watch it again.
I was going to say "Epilogue" till Of realized that's from Unlimited. Best of the whole series to me.
Infinity wars is the most ambitious crossover. Justice league the animated series- Hold my beer.
I think out of the DCAU shows justice league/JLU has to be my favorite.
Annoyed you didn’t mention the awesomeness that is Lobo in Hearafter.
I suppose the episode where Superman gets in a state of hypnosis and dreams of his family on Crypton, is going to be in the Unlimited video.
This better have the Christmas episode.
DAMMIT
good list though
Justice League Unlimited: The Once And Future Thing Pt. 1 and Pt.2
I love justice league. It's one of my favorite shows and one of the best superhero tv shows ever
What about the first one? For the man who has everything. awesome two-parter.
This show is one of the most nostalgic thing for me. I first watched it when I was like 5 or so, and have loved it ever since
How the funking funknuts is Wild Cards not on this list? It’s an episode narrated by The Joker, for crying out loud, and is the closest thing we’ll ever get to the OG Justice League fighting the OG Teen Titans (the cast voices the Royal Flush Gang)
You’re right (Teen Titans Go has the Justice League appear but as recruiters)
Now do JLA Unlimited, Batman the animated series and Teen Titans.
Justice league unlimited is nowhere near as good as justice league
Before this series: "Where's Superman? Where's Batman? Where's Wonder Woman? Where's Hal Jordan?"
After: "Where's The Question? Where's Green Arrow? Where's Hawkgirl? Where's John Stewart?!"
My favorite is "The Savage Time".
The Justice League meeting WW2 heroes like Steve Trevor, the Blackhawks and Easy Company.
Such a shame the DCAU ended. I was hoping after Justice League we'd get a Flash cartoon or maybe Green Lantern.
Here before 100 views
I'm surprised Wild Cards wasn't on the list.
"So far into the future that the sun has turned red"
That's not thousands of years, that's billions.
Justice Leauge>>>>Batman TAS
