Can hardly believe it’s been 20 years since. It’s still great in comparison to the “odd” stories we’re getting today. There is one feature about this if you want to break it down. Superman was not particularly dominate in this series. He has his moments but they were spaced out over all the series episodes. That’s the trouble when you mix his character with multiple characters.

During the first JL Season they seemed to have had a habit of establishing the villain by having them knock Superman down or out so of course the others could shine. Then in the second season they seemed to over compensate for it by giving Superman a hair-trigger temper. Also just really weird moments. Superman couldn’t even kick Darkseid’s butt without also letting him get in the last word “Loser.” (Is Darkseid a teenager?)

The only show since that I though measured up quite well in quality was the stand alone Green Lantern series.

“I mean what’s his character supposed to do, swoop in and end every conflict?”

THAT’S the cop out. By that metric then any situation could be also immediately solved by The Flash or Green Lantern as well. Or Batman since these days he’s usually portrayed as the god-ninja 10 steps ahead of everybody at all times.

Besides the entire point of the Justice League is that it’s a team of the big guns. Or in the case of the JLU the team of damn near every superhero in the DCAU.
