Justice League

July 3, 2003: “Justice League” Season 2 Begins!

The new season of "Justice League" kicks off Saturday, July 5th at 10:00pm in the U.S.A., with "Twilight", the two-part opener.

However, make sure you tune in to Cartoon Network at 8:00pm for two hours worth of "Superman: The Animated Series" featuring the Man of Steel's confrontations with Darkseid in "Apokolips Now" and "Legacy". Then watch "Twilight" at 10:00pm, the first two-part episode of the new season of "Justice League".

Comics2Film reporter Xum Yukinori published an inside preview of the Season 2 opener. Here's an excerpt from his report...

Superman: "You don't know Darkseid like I do."

Batman: "We know he used you. Humiliated you. Brainwashed you. Wound you up like a tin soldier and turned you loose against Earth. Cry me a river!"

"Twilight," the long-awaited "sequel" to the Superman episode "Legacy," starts the second season of Justice League off with a bang. With plenty of action, drama, emotion, and even a few death scenes (off-screen, and partly on-screen).

The story revealed thus far involves Darkseid requesting Superman and the Justice League's aid in dealing with a mysterious menace threatening Apokolips. Of course, the plot is much more involved than that, and with the cryptic menace revealed a mere eight minutes into the episode, I won't go into too much story detail in this spoiler-free review. Instead I'll focus on what I feel is the highlight of this episode. Namely, the rematch between Superman and Darkseid in act four.

George Newburn has definitely nailed the portrayal of Superman throughout this episode, and definitely conveys the vicious (and I mean vicious) hatred his character has toward his fire-eyed foe. And I think many fans will agree that Superman is no longer the "wimp" he appeared to be during much of season one.
