Justice League Action

Like many of you reading this review, I grew up on the animated excellence of Batman: The Animated Series and that show’s follow-up, Superman. I watched as the animated Justice League expanded the heroic cast of characters, one that ballooned to ridiculous (and awesome) proportions in Justice League Unlimited. More recently, I’ve seen the DC animated universe go to the dark side with direct-to-video movies like Batman: The Killing Joke, pay homage to classic camp with Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, and go downright silly with Teen Titans Go!Justice League Action Season 1 Download In English 1080p 720p.

With the announcement that Justice League Action would be the next animated series in this ever-popular franchise, some were concerned that it would skew more towards the sillier side than that of the classic action shows. I’m happy to report that the newest installment strikes a surprising balance between the promised action and kid-friendly comedy. It’s the closest thing I’ve seen to the classic 90s/00s DC superhero series in years.

To be fair, I’ve only seen the hour-long premiere of Justice League Action, titled “Shazam Slam,” so it’s difficult to say where this series will ultimately end up when compared to its forebears. However, if this tone stays consistent, I’d place its seriousness below that of the mature direct-to-video material, and shows like Teen Titans, Young Justice, and Batman Beyond. The closest comparison is probably Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which took a slightly silly, episodic approach to storytelling but did not skimp on the action. However, this new series appears to favor longer interconnected arcs featuring more complex stories and an increasingly large cast of characters rather than independent installments with new guest stars.
