wow!!
Can the walk-ons get any better!?
Thinking to help Superman after Supes is knocked down, Booster Gold helps him up only to hear Supes answer with Wonder Woman’s voice - I suppose this is this universe’s hybrid of Super-Duper/Composite Superman. Super-Duper had WW’s head, Hawkman’s wings, Flash’s legs and Aquaman’s arms while the Composite Superman was half Supes and Half Bats. http://hometown.aol.com/brainiacfive/graphics/composite.gif
:eek: 
I think this ep addressed the concerns of some folks that it was focusing too much on the Big Three and a handful of others - we got a lot of interesting cameos - some not-too-insignificant screen time for Elgonated Man, and plenty of Booster Gold and Skeets stuff.
“My gosh - it was full of stars.”
“Thank you, Green Lantern!”
I think this might be my favorite so far.
Loved this episode. I hope they give us a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle meeting sometime in the future. And hey, why settle there? We had Fire, Ice, and Elongated Man in last night’s ep, too. Introduce Guy Gardner and throw J’onn into the mix (especially since I’m tired of him just being Charlie to the JL’s Angels) and we’ve got ourselves a real Justice League.
Did I hear right, that Jonn called Dr. Light’s name when naming the ground force team? Isn’t he a bad guy, like in the Identity Crisis story going on now? Is there a good Dr. Light and a bad Dr. Light?
Yes, there is a good Dr. Light - the female
and a bad Dr. Light - the male supervillain, currently referenced in IC and often portrayed as an ineffectual loser. She appeared first in 1985; he appeared in 1962.
Thanks PP!
I get that this ep was all about Booster boosting, but can we talk for a minute about MM’s strategy? He’s setting up a strike team against a magic-based foe. Where were the magicians? I saw exactly one magic-based hero, the Thunderbolt, who could actually do anything offensive with magic (yeah I know Shining Knight has a mystical component but he’s not exactly big with the magical force bolts and the like). I mean come on, Vibe? Hawk and Dove? They’re gonna do what, bleed on the sorcerer?
In all fairness to J’onn, that’s pretty much what the League always does when they fight someone with magical powers. They didn’t have a magic user on the team for 3 years, and they still managed to beat Felix Faust and… what’s her face in the mask, so it’s not like he wasn’t trying anything that hasn’t worked before.
Now, if they have an episode that actually centers on Mordu as a threat, it’ll be cool to see Zatana/Dr. Fate/Sargon/whoever step up.
Zatanna AND Dr Fate would be cool.
Cooler than both of those would be the **Phantom Stranger ** – or better yet, the REAL **John Constantine ** – caustic, chainsmoking, and voiced by a British actor – and not just the crossbow weilding American twit Keenu Reeves is set to play.
I don’t like Phantom Stranger, personally. Something about him bugs the hell out of me.
And I don’t think either PS or Constantine had anything more than a peripheral relationship to either the JLA or JSA, anyway.
Besides, the really cool Constantine is Lady Johanna.
Tengu. You’re right of course, but it’s not like The Crimson Avenger, B’wana Beast, Hawk and Dove or Supergirl ever had a real iinvolvement with the JLA or JSA in comic book continuity. The Phantom Stranger at least made occasional JL team-ups in the 70s and 80s… John Constantine’s first appearances in SWAMP THING coincided with CRISIS the following year, which is where his peripheral involvement with the JL comes in (not to mention Moore’s aborted TWILIGHT proposal.)
The Phantom Stranger can be way cool and sympathetic, although I’m (again) thinking of Moore’s take on him as an angel who would side with neither God nor Lucifer in the revolt of the angels.
Maybe I should just hope **Tim Hunter ** gets used before the next Harry Potter film.
[RPG nerd mode on]You use melee fighters to combat magic. Magic tends to be weak against other magic. Magicians tend to have low physical defense. A few of your guys might get banged up, but the magican will die before your guys.[RPG nerd mode off]
What an awesome episode! I loved Enlongated Man’s “strechy guy” envy and who doesn’t love a story where a jerk gets knocked around a little and becomes a nicer person for it. The half-Superman/half-Batman with Wonder Woman’s voice frightened me, though.
Can anyone tell who played the voice of Skeets? He sounded very familiar but neither my son nor myself could figure out what other voices he played.
I didn’t see it, but some guys on another message board said Skeets was played by Billy West (Fry from Futurama and Stimpy from Ren and Stimpy).
That’s it! That’s why his voice sounded so familiar. It sounded just like Fry’s. Thanks, not knowing was driving me nuts.
When I saw that Mordru was the main villian, I was psyched. The Legion of Super Heroes is my all-time favorite comic, and Mordru was the villian in the very first Legion comic I ever read (one of the old super-sized comics with Superboy, Mon-El, Shadow Lass and Duo Damsel in the 20th Century running from the big M). So where was he in the episode? Why was he in the 20th Century? And Elongnated Man?! The indignities! Let EM beat some minor villian like Darkseid, not Mordru!
But I’m also a big Booster Gold fan, so I wasn’t totally disappointed. 
I can say I’d be a bouncy little thing forever if they put Tim Hunter or John Constantine into a Justice League episode. I’d get cable just to watch the show.
The Stranger was a member of the Satellite-era Justice League. He rarely showed up, but he was indeed a member.
And he’s one of the coolest DC characters out there. Him and Ambush Bug.
They should do a JLU episode teaming the Stranger and Ambush Bug.
Yeah.
