Maybe it's because I'm not much of a Flash fan or maybe because it's been so long since a new ep, I was underwhelmed with the latest. Good to see Orion, but he didn't seem quite himself.
I liked the scene with Trickster in the bar though - it really highlighted the world of Flash and his rogues and how it's much different from Batman and Orion's worlds.

Mark Hammil's voice for the Trickster was pretty cool. I was amused by the nod to the old Flash live action show

I loved it too. My only disappointment was that the Crimson Avenger didn't get to do much.

yeah but I was not disappointed....i kind of wished it was a female crimson avenger and an unofficial eighth member Wing to appear...regradless, I loved it. Crimson Avenger was so silent! real cool! and also the Newsboy Legion also appeared (in connection to Cadmus Project!). Loved the interaction between Shining Knight and Vigilante. Stargirl gets to show off her powers. I kept think that Stargirl would make a good member in JLA books, somehow.

I FINALLY got a chance to see an episode this season!!!
As is usually the case, I loved this episode. Seeing the SSoV in action was great....against the Shaggy Man/General was even better.
Newsboy Legion - Aces! Crimson Avenger - Was he just in there at the end? Or did I miss another scene. Mr. Terrific - Woot! Speaking lines! Stargirl - Go Courtney!
And Roy! I'd love to see them put the grown up Titans in an episode (never happen, I know).
And when JLU ends, DC needs to grab Dwayne to write the JLA. Or at least get Burnett involved somehow. Those guys 'get it' so much more than Meltzer ever will. And they have so nailed Amanda Waller's character...wouldn't a Task Force X cartoon be cool?

Wow, I didn't even catch the Seven Soliders of Victory homage. I saw the Newsboys and I liked that the made Eiling transform into his sorta Shaggy Man form.
To tell yout he truth, I have like the JL more since they went the JLU route. I love seeing all the different heroes other then the main 7.

I've been enjoying JLU much more than I've been enjoying the JLA comic. The stories are more to my liking, and this is the kind of Justice League that has always appealed to me: a combination of the "Big 7" and the less iconic/powerfulish heroes. They are the modern-day Legion, in my opinion.
I haven't really enjoyed reading the comic since before the Morrison relaunch. And I shudder to think who will be raped/savaged in the new series...

"No ...because I'm evil." God, that line had me cracking up! It was great fun to have Smallville Lex actually get to play adult Lex for once - and Clancy Brown does an amazing job of Flash as Luthor - he really captured Rosenberg's protrayal of the character.

Well, the series wrapped up Saturday, and I think it went out with a bang. Although the setup from last episode felt a little rushed, all the stops were pulled out as the entire JLU rushed into battle against the hordes of Darkseid.
Many Leaguers saw a little limelight, including Steel (from the Detroit JLA). The main heroes in the episode, though, were Batman and Superman, and you really got a sense of who these two heroes were. Superman's scene where he let loose was awesome.
The end scene with the JLU running down the front steps of the Metro Tower was cool, as was seeing Batman's sense of humor, which might have been a first in this series.
I will definitely miss this series, which was a consistently good cartoon.

I wasn't thrilled with Darkseid being the climax - it's almost like they don't think the DCU has any other really big guns, so they have to drag Darkseid back for the finale. I would've preferred a big throwdown with the Secret Society. Still, it was pretty cool.

I dunno Drake, when the kids and I started watching part I of the finale, I told the that the only person more dangerous than Luthor would be Darkseid. Imagine my boyish giddiness when he showed up 20 minutes later.
All in all, I will miss this show but am glad they are finally getting the Season DVD's out now.
I REALLY liked the casting call at the end with all the representatives from the different League Eras (and the JSA!) running down the steps.
And ANYTIME Superman can cut loose is awesome. It one of the few moments the series really shows the magnitude and scope of the powers that are being used on the show.

oh that's right...you're right....Batman was standing next to the Flash....gotta get DVD when they are out soon.
Giganta was the one who really shone on the show...alongside Lex Luthor and Darkseid.
Loved how they did with Martian Manhunter's red Dragon - at first I was like "who, was it Dr. Fate? who? who?" Then changed to reveal MM...I was ah nice!!! and it was a nice homage to the beginning of the Season introduction where MM was morphed into a shadow dragon to reveal himself...and now to the last episode, it was nice fitting.
that episode makes me want to see it again and again. so hope that the DVD will be out soon (no way in one year!)

A great episode and finale. Perhaps marred only by the mystery of Luthor's and Darkseid's disapperance at the end. Where DID they go? We will probably never know.
I appreciated a small detail in the episode: the scenes in China and Europe took place at night, as one would expect if Darkseid's attack happened during daylight in Metropolis.
...but you don't have a moment where you're sitting there staring at a table full of twenty-five characters with little name signs that say, "Hi, my superpower is confusing you!"

I enjoyed the episode, too.
Though with the tunneling machine thingies, it would've been a good chance to showcase SAND for a scene or two.
And Obsidian would've been an interesting counter for Darkseid, before the big Superman/Darkseid showdown.
I'm disappointed that these two and THE RAY and several other heroes never got 'their' episode.
Considering that B'wana Beast, Fire, Mr. Terrific, Vixen, etc. were immortalized in animation, I can't be *too* disappointed.
Here's hoping a nice, long series of made-for-DVD JLU movies is launched soon!
