I forced myself to watch all the episodes of Wolverine and The X-Men and it just felt forced on us because of the movie.

I hate The Avengers in any form - comic, movie, cartoon - so I wont watch it.

DC even does groups better IMHO - JSA is 9000x better then Avengers.

I don't really enjoy this show. It was really good in the beginning but the villains are really lackluster. Cheshire? Come on. SPORTSMASTER?? And man was the Injustice Gang episode weak. Their iteration of the Joker made me long for BTBAB's version.

Artemis is a nothing character who feebly replaces Terra as the teenaged traitor. Deadshot. Deathstroke. Hell, I'd even take Merlyn over #@+# Sportsmaster. Though Deathstroke would be far more appropriate. Since this is essentially an updated Teen Titans, ya know? skreeonk' Harm.

To be fair there are a few standout episodes and I like Arsen-Speedy, I mean.

Read Villains United and Secret Six. D-List villains CAN kick ass. Cheshire was one of the original 6 members of the Secret Six.

I agree that Wolverine and The X-Men wasn't that great, although I found the B-plot Future stories where Xavier was to be more entertaining than the series main focus, also that Colossus got shafted for the 3rd X-Men series in a row didn't set well with me.

IMHO, I truly do like the Justice League BETTER than the Avengers. So much rich history with that team, but the avengers CAN be good also. I really Like Earths Mightiest Heroes (The Best Marvel Animated series since 1990's X-Men & Spider-Man), and cant wait for season 2 on April 1st.

The first 5 episodes are actually compilations of a previous "Micro" series, just giving set up and background for each character. The series Really dosen't start until the 2-part story "Breakout". The Avengers dealing with 70+ Super-Villains breaking out of 4 super-secret Prisons- Epic!

But alas I am losing focus- I cant wait for more Young Justice.-- YES DC Can make C or D list villains seem cool. Batman TB&TB did it ALL THE TIME. Young Justice does too.

I used to be a Marvel man, but DC has really grown on me. Perhaps it's not as mainstream as Marvel has become with all its summer blockbusters.

I like Young Justice, but I won't go as far by saying that it's one of the greatest shows based on DC's young superheroes. It has its flaws. I felt that it had more energy at the start of the series, but now, it's just chuck full of stand-alone episodes. I didn't like last week's episode to be honest. It was kind of a let down since the show hasn't had a new episode since last November.

+1. I watched a few, totally weak. MTV's Spider-Man was better.

I just hate teen Spider-man entirely. I prefer an older more experienced Spider-man. It really pisses me off that the Ultimate comics are now the archetype for almost all Spider-man media.

Thank god Warner/DC cancelled Gotham High.Luckily most Batman fans prefer an older Batman as evidenced by Kevin Conroy returning over and over again. Spider-man fans on the other hand prefer a kid who hasn't hit puberty. Poor Christopher Daniel Barnes is several years younger than Conroy, but someone at Marvel thinks he is too old for Spidey. I don't care what anyone says Barnes is much better than Josh Keaton. Personally I prefer Rino Romano's Spider-man, but he is also too old for today's lame Spider-man.

I dug the evolution of Batman from The Batman from Seasons 1 and 2 to 3 thru 5. I enjoyed seeing Batgirl over Robin until the 5th year and then the absence of both.

Another great episode this weekend. To be honest I had read the plot first, so I knew what was coming, but when they first announced that the Queen had died, after all that Kid-Flash had gone through to get her the heart for the transplant, my wife began to tear up. I've never seen her react that way to an animated series. Also I have to say, this has to be the greatest defeat of a villain on-screen to date. As impressive as all the beat downs are between Superman and Darkseid, or Batman and The Joker-this somehow felt more satisfying. Count Vertigo- A true prick, who thought he was above the law gets what he deserves. Usually we see Luthor and other villains fairly comfortable in Jail, but not Vertigo, he was with thr rest of the scum where he belonged. Bravo!

^^ agree.

Im glad it's Wally West and not Bart Allen as Kid Flash. I think DC Comics hates Wally West. He was shafted in the comic, shafted over to Titans, then shafted again with the Flashpoint reboot. STOP SHAFTING WALLY!

Wally is easily becoming my 2nd favorite YJ character, behind Superboy.

Was an ok. I had pretty much guessed how it would end. Was right, but I've never seen a superhero show that wasn't predictable like that.
Could have lived without the corny "The greatest gift was her smile" line at the end.
Also no more Angsterboy is a plus.

Vandal was cool, Vertigo wasn't.

I don't care what anyone says Barnes is much better than Josh Keaton.


I agree, listening to Barnes try so hard makes 90's Spider-Man twice as hilarious

Another solid episode this past weekend. I know a lot of people dont like the new "I'm angry all the time" Superboy, but they haven't really focused on him in a while, so I didn't mind. The idea that this Superboy clone has Luthor DNA I'm sure will prove quite interesting as the series progresses. I wonder how the League will deal with it, or will it be another secret witheld? I found it odd that the League was considering removing Captain Marvel because he never revealed that his alter ego was a child. Almost every YJ member has a secret at this time, and I'm sure even many of the League members haven't given full disclosure about themselves. Also I'm sure it is designed purposely, but I hate how in every TV incarnation of the Justice League, when they vote on something, it is never shown in episode what the vote actually was. Oh well. Match=Bizarro Superboy? (I'm assuming based on the burned in reverse "S" on his chest, I dont even know if such a charactr exists in the comics)

There are at least 2 more new episodes scheduled in the next 2 weeks. I just hop CN finishes the season and dosen't hold the additional remaining 2 episodes. Just finish the season then fans can be ok with another long absence until season 2 begins (hopefully in the fall).

I thought they were going to say Lois was his human DNA provider but then they twisted it and hinted it and was Lex and threw me for a loop.
