Well it does.
Tonight's ep focused on Green Arrow and his doubts about joining the League.
Through circumstance, he ends up along for the ride when Green Lantern, Capt. Atom and Supergirl are dispatched to deal with a crisis.
By the end, he has saved the day, but is still unsure about joining the League-- until he spots Black Canary (in original fishnets outfit, YES!!!) in the locker room.
TONS of 2nd and 3rd tier characters around-- this is going to RULE!
I was especially impressed with Supergirl this episode.
This may very well end up being THE DC 'TOON of fall time and is at least a decade overdue.

I was sorry they didn't start off with a multi-parter. After all the anticipation it's too bad we didn't get to see more of the new recruits. I thought Green Arrow and Capt Atom sounded a bit young, but they looked pretty good (though I would've preferred if they gave Capt Atom blue boots). Interesting to see them give Capt Atom the "Wildfire" treatment, making him energy in a containment suit rather than a metallic "shell". But of course the good capt does what he does best (get himself blown to a million bits ).

Nice to see a few other cameos that hadn't been released (yes, KP - Zatanna's there too in the fishnet outfit) like Steel,Orion, Crimson Avenger, Vibe and the other Steel (JLA Detroit).
One guy I didn't recognize was blonde guy with the shoulder holster talking to Supergirl. Who's he??

I was pretty disappointed by Capt Atom's portrayal here, actually, but I realize for the storyline's sake it had to be Ollie that got the rods inserted...
I LOVED Supergirl, though.

E-gads! And they said a Legion cartoon would be confusing with "so many characters." I plan on checking a few episodes out for some personal favorite characters (Zatanna! Black Canary! Huntress!), though for the most part I'll probably be a parital watcher as not everyone on the roster grabs me yet. Makes you wonder what the kids or solely fans of the JL cartoon are thinking about this new show/season if they've never read the comic books before. It has to be somewhat of a shock, going from seven to seventy. One's confusion though is another's reward for years and years of reading though!

It was HEAVEN, I tells ya! I, for one, am looking forward to the action figure line that will result from this.

Cartoon Network. It was on at 8:30 PM on the east coast. Don't know if it'll stick to that time, but it's a safe bet. It'll probably be rerun at other times as well.

It was a pretty good episode although I could have done without GA. The only version of that character I even remotely liked is his son Conner. I loved seeing Kara In-Ze again, I missed her. I would have liked if more time was spent on Captain Atom. I don't care much for GL's new look it looks to similar to his Justice Lord alternate. The foe of the episode was someone I'd never thought I'd see animated.
I can't wait to see the rest of the season!

I'm sorry I missed this! It sounds like it's going to rock all season!
Any idea when the reruns will be airing?
And the toy line will definately be cool...

Are they going to stick with the same regular characters, as they've done with JLA, or are they going to vary the roster?
With so many cameos, its hard to believe most would never see action. If they did, it would set the stage for a Legion cartoon.

If JL UNLIMITED is as big a hit as it deserves to be, I predict a LEGION cartoon within 5 years.

There pretty much having different rosters per episode unless it's a two-parter. I heard that Supergirl & GA while be in at least one more ep this season.
The already reran the 1st episode today so I'm guessing it will at least shown for the 1st time each Saturday & repeated on Sunday.

I believe that I heard that Supergirl and Green Arrow were going to be prominently featured, but I could be mistaken about that.

I also heard that small section of the credits change per episode for each different lineup. So next week the part that showed Supergirl, Captain Atom & GA will be different.

I did think it was kinda cool that the Watchtower was bigger now, and had a support staff.
