It was the 'big three' plus Green Lantern with what amounted to an extended cameo by The Demon.

The villains were Morgan LeFay and, mostly, her son, Mordred.

This would've been a good Halloween episode, IMO. Morgan's frozen face/mask was creepy in that there was no movement at all whenever she spoke.

The Demon as a cute l'il fire-belching baby was cute... and the last shot of him in WW's arms was fun.

But I was disappointed by the lack of any of the multitudes of heroes we were teased with a couple of weeks ago.

Todd

Yeah, they definitely don't seem to be as "unlimited" as I thought they were gonna be...

Yep. Three episodes, a total of 3 "new" heroes shown in action, and all of those were in the first episode. Kind of a disappointing start to the series.

What I don't get is why this episode aired this week. This is listed on Cartoon Network's site as episode 5. Episode 3 was supposed to have been a Hawk & Dove feature. Me am confused.

Episode 4, which I can only assume should air next week, is supposed to feature Supergirl, who already got a turn in the first episode. Where are all of the other heroes this series was supposed to feature? Bring on the new guys!!!

I thought this was a good one & really liked how Diana seemed to be the leader. John's optimism and creative use of his ring was a nice change of pace from his "Drill Sargent" persona. Baby Etrigan was so adorable.

Gotta say this was one of my favorite episodes so far. I smiled and giggled along side my wife for the entire episode.

I agree. From the title of the episode "Child's Play", I was hoping that we'd see Supergirl, Star Spangled Kid (or whatever her name is), & Hawk & Dove. Maybe a cameo of Zatanna providing them with instructions from Limbo.

Yeah, I was disappointed in the kids ep, for the same reason everyone else was... we just had the big three in the last episode, and now we have the big three plus one, with a pointless cameo by the demon? Justice League Downsized, is more like it.

Nah, I loved this eposide. Thought it was funny and entertaining. Loved baby demon and loved that big three acted liked kids. Kinda reminded of Peter David's Sins of Youth story arc.

It was probably some cartoon network exec thinking that we want to see more of the big three.

I just read over at comicscontinuum.com that Hawk & Dove will be voiced by Fred Savage and Jason Hervey. To top that, Savage will be Hawk and Hervey will be Dove.

It'd be nice if Steve Ditko gets a "created by" credit or for the Question's upcoming appearance.

I liked that we got to see more of Diana's backstory. Hawk & Dove were ok. I'll add more once I see it again.

The Hawk and Dove episode was ok. Maybe I would've liked it more if I had more feeling for these characters. The solution was telegraphed a mile away, so that was no surprise. I thought if they were going to go that way, it could've been a bit more inspiring though I understand that they didn't want to give it a totally happy ending either.

The exchange between Wonder Woman and Hephaestus was interesting though.

This new ep has to be seen to be believed. It has Batman singing, Circe turning WW into a pig, Zatanna, Bwana Beast, Red Tornado, Elogated Man, & a character that might be the Crimson Avenger.

All in all, a very unique ep. In a good way that is.

I loved this one! It could've been written by Lashie & EDE!

The WW as a pig episode was bizarre, but fun.

For the first time, the character of Zatanna worked for me, since I didn't have to stop and read her spells backwards.

Now THIS sounds more unlimited. I'll try to catch the rerun of this today.

There was even some in-joke dialogue about how one spell worked better forwards.

This wasn't a classic, but it had some classic moments, particularly at the end.

I'm a bit surprised that I haven't heard more criticism of an episode centered on two of the big three again. I don't really have a problem with whom the story is about as long as it's written well. I liked this one. The singing was enough to make me smile.

And another thing... I'd really like to see where they take the Wonder Woman and Batman relationship dynamic. I've got a feeling that they aren't going to visit these characters again at any length, anytime soon, but the writers have a pretty good Sam and Diane (from Cheers) situation set up that could provide alot of interesting moments.

I think it was supposed to be the Phantom Stranger. There was an Elongated Man cameo and the woman he met with might have been Jessie Quick (?) and don't forget Bwana Beast!

Great scene with Zatanna where BB's scoping her out. (hey man, she wears a tux and fishnets, we're not supposed to look?)

plus
Circe - "A deal's a deal, tell him he can stop now."
Zatanna - "Not on your life."

Then Diana humming the song in the closing scene. Priceless.

Bwah ha ha ha - I'm really liking JLA Unlimited

This episode cracked me up!

B'wana beast swinging around that lamppost... ogling Zatanna... "Have you seen this pig?"...
CIRCE!!! If she was this entertaining in the comic books, she'd be right up there with the Joker and Luthor as frequent, meaningful villainess.

Medusa and her Hades County Blues... "Hippolyta, Hippolyta, Hippolyta... that's all I ever heard," (paraphrasing)...

...Circe singing (had me gigglin' as soon as they showed the stage-- wanting to show up her sisters, the Sirens!) BATMAN SINGING!!! And it FIT!

Weird and wacky... though I'm not crazy about a Batman/Wonder Woman romance, that's a small complaint.

I *do* wonder if nonDCU fans and kids would 'get' it.

Todd

I'd have to disagree. It definitely resembles the original costume the Crimson Avenger wore. It's an odd choice for the show, to be sure.

I loved that.

The only way it could have been better would be to have Circe invite Bats' Rogues Gallery to watch.

I haven't been thrilled with the last two episodes -- first they get turned into kids, then WW into a pig? It's very silver age, which can be ok, but like I said, didn't thrill me. Batman singing was ok, but it shoulda been a showtune - something really humiliating for him, if they were going to go that way.

I also think that guy was the Crimson Avenger.

The new little into's and outro's for the commercial breaks were also really uninteresting (and were also based on last year's design (GL) and lineup (Hawkgirl)).

The Crimson Avenger hadn't occured to me before reading this thread. Interesting.
...and the Phantom Stranger would have been wholly inappropriate.

Anybody catch the new one yesterday? I was out on a family thing so I missed it last evening.

Yeah, I just finished watching it. It featured Supergirl, Green Arrow and the Question. Pretty good episode. The Question was hilarious!
