    Jordyn, what are your thoughts on Young Justice so far, if you've been watching it? (I just kind of figure you have)

    I haven't actually. If Timm & Co. ain't involved, I don't get too set on watching it on a regular basis. Plus I've been focusing energy on things like my Fallout blog and football practices starting up again soon.

    I'll probably catch it sometime. I did see the Flaming C thing on Conan recently, and the music is by Carter, Ritmanis, and McCuistion, so bonus points there.

    I found out much to my suprise and horror of how popular she was in Japan but then I do own some some figures and other items from there that are far better than some I have ever seen

    My Google search for Supergirl Japan didn't come back with anything beyond one no-worse-than-usual vinyl figurine. Is there something particularly bad for her there?

    Also, I really liked Superman, but I've heard a bunch of comments from people who hated him in JLA. Maybe it's because I took over all the good associations from STAS, even with the voice actor change. I did want him to kick a bit more butt, and he did in later seasons, but I didn't see him as a giant dick, except for in the Captain Marvel episode... where the whole point was that Lex had baited him successfully.

    For the most part really silly stuff as I did not know she had a cat but one of the figures I have is of her as evil in the usual black latex strappy outfit and heavy eyeliner

    But there was a vending machine that sold doll clothes that I got a supergirl outfit about barbie's size out of

    I loved the time jumping episode. Best Jonah Hex... Best Wonder Woman Line evar, "Those are the biggest, slowest bullets I've ever seen..". And then, of course, random Hal Jordan cameo.

    JLU was just an excellent show. And the show that got me interested in Black Canary. Who is now one of my favorite characters.

    It's funny how DC can make such excellent and well written animated shows, but often struggle on the live action film side. Were as marvel seems the exact opposite. Animated shows are very hit or miss, while thier movies have been very solid as of late.

    I love the second half of the The Once and Future Thing.

    I got a drawing of Old Static from Steve Jones last Emerald City Con. I was all "this is probably a weird request." And he's like, "oh! I did the turnarounds for old Static." I also Batman, Terry, and Old Bruce all together. Totally awesome.

    My favorite part in the first episode is when Batman is looking at Chronos's belt at the end at Chronos grabs it and shouts, "OR MAYBE I'M LYING!"

    I bust a gut every time.

    Being a huge fan of Batman Beyond, the end of the the first episode was one of the few times I said "Holy Shit" while watching a cartoon.

    I don't remember the exact line, but the bit in that episode where he asks something like, "Do you know what killed the dinosaurs? Chucko does." That one kills me.

    Justice League is the show that made Aquaman actually awesome! The Aquaman vs Wonderwoman fights is one of my favorites of all time.

    They don't make 'um like this anymore :(

    Hands down, no doubt, but he's a comical version who embraced the goofiness of the character... Justice League's Aquaman was actually bad ass and respectable.

    I forgot how ugly the Aquaman design is in that show. One of the few that I actually don't care for.

    Although Brightest Day, Young Justice, Crisis on Two Earths and Brave and the Bold have really made me appreciate the classic Aquaman suit a lot more.

    I don't see what's good about that clip. It just seems like generic fight choreography to me.

    He is dressed as a classic Adventure archetype of that era. He's wearing scale-mail armor, even. Scale-mail armor! That's amazing!

    I always took Aquaman's hair at that time to be more Conan the Barbarian style than mullet. Whatever it was, it was better than the crewcut that the cookie cutter male DC characters all seem to sport. I don't know that it really fit Aquaman's role as King, but again better than having Superman/Batman/Green Lantern hair.

    What about Superman's mullet?

    And to tie this back into the DCAU, I was reading about The Batman Adventures Issue 25 today, which was the first attempt to do Supes in the DCAU style (a couple years before S:TAS), and they still gave him the mullet.

    I think the mullet was just the crew cut of the late 80s - mid 90s.
