in the old Justice Society books didn't Hitler use the Spear along wiht the holy grail to keep all the Super powered hero's from invading Europe if they tried to "take him out"? maybe the Legion of Doom will use the spear along with other mystical artifacts to keep the League at bay.

Last season. She came back from hiding out in Dr. Fate's tower to put down a Solomon Grundy driven mad by an excess of Chaos-magic...a story they never quite wrapped up, IMO.
Technically, she was never voted out. The original members had voted to keep her in, she was the one who ran away. She never knew their vote until the episode I mentioned above though.

Darn it! I missed the first 10 minutes of the Warlord episode! Will someone summarize how the Leagures ended up in Skartaris? And was mention made of Supergirl's new uniform?
LOVED the second episode!

It was great enough seeing Giganta, Heat Wave, Mr. Terrific (with lines this time), Star Sapphire, etc.-- but that section when Gorilla Grodd told the story of the VIKING PRINCE was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I love how they used what looked like original art from the comics for the story!
Though the end of the episode made perfect dramatic sense, I secretly (well, not so secretly any more) wanted the Viking Prince to be found alive within that block of ice and to join the JLU. Ah, well- that'd be too much like Captain America, anyway.
DC really needs to release a Viking Prince tpb or ARCHIVE. I remember reading a stray reprint here and there back in the days of the GIANTS and 100 PAGE SPECTACULARS. Now, I'd like to read his whole story.
I liked the parallels between Prince Jon and J'onn J'onzz. I half-expected him to adopt a human guise that looked like the Viking Prince in modern-day dress, but I'm kinda glad he stuck with good ol' John Jones.
Wonder Woman's becoming the mother hen of the group, isn't she? With Hawkgirl, Black Canary and Huntress playing more of the spitfires, that makes sense.
Is Devil Ray a villain that appears in the comics? How about the ice chick? Was that Killer Frost in a new uniform using brand new powers? Or was she someone else?

The first ten minutes were a hoot! The JLU members were in Japan fighting a not too thinly veiled version of Gamera (the big flying turtle). Supergirl was the last one on the scene because she was actually already in town for a Supergirl convention. There was no mention of her getting a new outfit, but her intro was a nice long pan up her body so we could drink it in. The Japanese fangirls that show up later were all dressed like her in her old outfit. One of them even berates Star Girl for talking smack about Kara.
The team flies above the North Pole to get back to the Metro Tower (I think that's what it's called), when they're snagged by some energy field and sucked into a big gaping hole in the ground, taking them to Skartaris.

I can't answer all your questions but the episode started with a fight where Supergirl was the heroine of the day (she showed up at the very last second and more or less was handed the victory that Stargirl worked her butt off for). For some reason John insisted that Supergirl fly the jet over the North Pole (he claimed it was the shortest route - but to where wasn't all that clear) and they were caught in some kind of energy field that drew them into the entrance to Skartarus. The jet crashed and they wound up fighting a bunch of dinosaurs. The Warlord ended the battle with a few rounds from that magnum he carries.
No mention was made of the new outfit for Supergirl though and I even wondered if she's supposed to be the same Supergirl from the previous season. I loved the second one as well. King Faraday was a real surprise as was the Secret Society of Supervillians and yes it DID look like the Viking Prince art was clipped from the comics didn't it?
Both episodes were fun to watch, I really lilked them. Weren't the two episodes on last night (@ 1 am new ones from last week? If so then Solomon Grundy is back and it was awfully cool seeing Star Sapphire...but it made me wonder about Hal Jordan...
I always watch the credits to get some clues about upcoming episodes and did it look like the Flash was drawn into the time strean during one of those clips to you? I know the Legion is supposed to appear this season and it made me wonder if that's how it's going to happen.

Thanks, YK! I feel like I've got the picture between your summary and DrakeB's.
I didn't see the episodes that aired last night. Last *week*, there was one with Flash, Hawkgirl and Fire encountering some supervillains on Blackhawk Island-- with the last of the Blackhawks aiding them.
The villains made away with the Spear of Destiny, though-- if I remember correctly.
The second episode was Hawkgirl meeting Carter Hall, who has styled himself as Hawkman after using the absorbacon (sp?). They, along with Batman, fought the Shadow Thief. From your description, it doesn't sound like the shows you saw match these.
It looked like Flash was sliding around on some kind of blue wave. It could've been in the time stream, sure. There was a female with him, but I didn't catch who it was.
I *did* spy lots of Rogues-- Mirror Master, Trickster, Captain Boomerang, and The Top.

OOoo..I'm going to have to go back to the tape and watch the last few seconds of the episode again Once I get a better look at that clip, I'll try to clear that up.
edit: Nope, my bad. That was Flash dodging bolts of light from some kind of disco ball or something. Then Mirror Master is depicted in the next few scenes and we also saw Capt.Boomerang and (I think)The Trickster just before that. So it looks liks the nest one has bad guys made up from Flash's Rogues Gallery as the primary antagonists.
