Thank you VB.Viking Bastard said:You're tellin' me you haven't read Giffen/DeMatteis's Justice League?!?
And you call yourself a comic fan.
That's like if you haven't read Claremont's X-Men. Just, y'know, better.
Glad to know SOMEONE has taste.
As well as being DC knowledgeable. Regarding Skeet, yes Billy West is the same Billy West that voices Fry in Futurama. I checked Tvtome.com. They generally are much better with TV shows anyway.

Dang, I loved that episode. Loved that episode.
"Crowd control is an important duty, sir! You should feel honored!"
...
"You saved those insects, sir! You should feel proud!"
...
"I've got nothin'."
Was lucky I wasn't drinking anything when that line came out. I mean, that line alone, plus the running Green Lantern joke, was just fantastic. And Tracy was just cute. The name in the credits was something like Lori Loghlin -- the new end-credit graphics made it harder to read, and I Tivo JLU on "Basic" mode, which means it's a bit grainy when paused. Has she done any other voicework (or live work)? She did a nice job with the role.

Like I said before, if they could barely handle Mordu, I don't see them stopping Amazo.

Dude, Mordru is one of the baddest arse in the DCU!
He has stolen the power of Dr. Fate (helm, cape and all)!
Before that, he stole the power of Arion, Archmage of Atlantis!
When he was after Kid Eternity (who could summon heroes - even superheroes - from the past to protect him), he killed Perseus, Pegasus, Hal Jordan and several others (who promptly returned to their timelines).
He has plagued the Justice Society in the present... AND the Legion of Superheroes in the 30th century (when magic is supposed to be dead)!

Man, I loved that last episode. It had me in stitches. I liked Booster Gold before, now I love him.
It was nice, too, seeing so many Golden Age heroes in action alongside the modern JL. Actually, in the scene where J'onn is sending down heroes to fight Mordru, I couldn't help but notice that many of them were original members or legacies of the Seven Soldiers of Victory... the Shining Knight, the Vigilante, Stars and STRIPE, the Crimson Avenger. Plus seeing the Thunderbolt in action in a few of the crowd scenes -- I wish they'd give us more JSAers like Johnny Thunder, and give them more screen time.
The best part, in my opinion, was the conversation between Booster and Ralph Dibny, the Elongated Man... another nice nod to the 80s League. I had just been introduced to most of the Giffen/deMatteis JLAers (Booster, Ralph and his wife Sue, the Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, Fire, Maxwell Lord, and L-RON) when I read their excellent Formerly Known as the Justice League earlier this year, and the tribute here just cracked me up. Booster and Ralph are talking when Batman comes along and tells them that, well...
Ralph: "We don't need two stretchy guys." This is so not fair. I realize Plastic Guy is in the League too, I'm not dissing that guy. But one day I disguised myself as a vase for three days!
Booster: No you didn't.
Ralph: Okay, maybe not. Who'd want to anyway? But I'm a detective, so I'm like Plastic Man and Batman rolled into one!
Booster: Is there any chance you could stop complaining for five minutes?

HA!
The squeaky wheel, my friend. The squeaky wheel.

Oh, geez, yeah. Ralph and Sue made a great team, and I really liked her in Formerly Known yada yada. They were like Hawkman and Hawkwoman, except only one of them had powers, and they were funnier, and... well, okay, they weren't really like the Hawks. But I still miss Sue.
I mean, I give them ten years before they ressurect Sue, but geez. It stinks that they offed her.
