Justice League 2×14-15: “The Terror Beyond”

Written by Dwayne McDuffie
Directed by Butch Lukic
Originally Aired: November 15th 2003
DVD: Justice League The Complete Series

Again, apologies for another long delay – the problem with working on a company laptop is that you tend to lose a lot of things stored on the old laptop.

Summary: The Justice League intervenes when Aquaman and Doctor Fate attempt to exploit Solomon Grundy for a dangerous ritual… but their intervention may place the world in danger in a situation that quickly becomes personal for Hawkgirl.

Arc Notes: Hawkgirl’s real name is confirmed. Solomon Grundy’s first death. Beginning of the Aquaman / Doctor Fate association.

Keyboard issues have FINALLY been fixed…

… expect regular updates to resume tomorrow. Apologies for the missed time.

Weekend Aside – Yet More Fleischer Superman

Well, the planned weekend aside was scuttled by my inability to find a copy of The Kents, so, just like always when there’s a gap, revel in the joy that is public domain animation!

Remember to follow this blog on Twitter to be notified of updates as they happen.

“Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths”

Written by: Dwayne McDuffie
Directed by: Lauren Montgomery & Sam Liu
Buy it HERE.

Remember that you can be notified of new updates by following Justice League Revisited on Twitter.

Summary: The Justice League meets up with a Lex Luthor from an alternate reality, who has journeyed to their world to convince them to help him overthrow their counterparts’ fascistic rule.

Foreword: Okay, just like the “Comfort and Joy” review, this is going to be written in a style that will eventually slot in with the other episodes (and edited accordingly when I “catch up”). So if by any chance you don’t want to be blatantly clubbed over the head with spoilers about the remainder of the second season of Justice League, don’t make the jump.

Oh, and you may want to clear out some time – I’ve written journal articles shorter than this one.

Weekend Aside: The Further Adventures of Batman

In the continuing theme of “Stuff Found While Cleaning Out My Old Room”, this entry deals with part of the post-Tim Burton Batman movie merchandising boom, a short story collection that hit shelves during what DC took to calling the “Summer of Batman.” And darned if they weren’t right, at least from a merchandising perspective. When you’re selling action figures of “Bob the Goon”, you know you’ve got a hot product on your hands.

This, however, actually had a bit of quality to it.

Summary: An unholy demon lord is loosed in Metropolis, and in order to save the staff of the Daily Planet Superman must seek the aid of a combat-weary Doctor Fate.
