It was a pretty good episode although I could have done without GA. The only version of that character I even remotely liked is his son Conner. I loved seeing Kara In-Ze again, I missed her. I would have liked if more time was spent on Captain Atom. I don't care much for GL's new look it looks to similar to his Justice Lord alternate. The foe of the episode was someone I'd never thought I'd see animated.
I can't wait to see the rest of the season!

Between this ep and the just released finale of "Another Nail", looks like the little archer that could is having "the best week ever!"

Are they going to stick with the same regular characters, as they've done with JLA, or are they going to vary the roster?
With so many cameos, its hard to believe most would never see action. If they did, it would set the stage for a Legion cartoon.

There pretty much having different rosters per episode unless it's a two-parter. I heard that Supergirl & GA while be in at least one more ep this season.
The already reran the 1st episode today so I'm guessing it will at least shown for the 1st time each Saturday & repeated on Sunday.

I hope they rotate the roster. From the opening credits, it seems as if Supergirl is going to be highly featured.

I believe that I heard that Supergirl and Green Arrow were going to be prominently featured, but I could be mistaken about that.

I also heard that small section of the credits change per episode for each different lineup. So next week the part that showed Supergirl, Captain Atom & GA will be different.

I did think it was kinda cool that the Watchtower was bigger now, and had a support staff.

I thought the episode was pretty flat and extraordinarily predictable. The only saving graces of the episode were the big cast scenes (I could have sworn I saw the backside of Isis) and the cameo at the end and the incentive it provided.
Other than that, I questioned Batman's conversation with Green Arrow. I just don't see Batman as a recruiter for the League. The writers definitely missed that one. They missed alot of little physics details too. Normally I don't mind this as it is comic book heroes after all, but there were just so many of them that they kept shocking me out of the episode.
I tell you what, if it wasn't for how well the cameo appearance at the end worked, I might not have watched another episode of the show for at least another week.

Seems to me that Batman and Green Arrow have pretty much the same mindset about the type of crime that they fight. Who better than Batman, then, to show Green Arrow the benefits of working alongside the League?

While I haven't seen many eps of the first Justice League cartoon one thing bothered me about this new approach. I HATE mixing computer generated scenes with regular animation. The shots of the Javelin and the Watchtower, to me, were just awful.
I don't recall the previous JL cartoon mixing the computer generated images in like that. I hope it is very limited or not used at all in future episodes or I may just give this series a pass.

I hate to tell you, but apparently all the animation of the Watchtower and Javelin this year are CGI. It seems like a bit of a mish mash to me too.
I thought the ep itself was pretty good, though I was semi-delirious with exhaustion. (We were up late at the matlock house decorating our daughter's birthday cake.) They were able to sketch the characters with just enough personality to get by. Captain Atom getting split open was kind of a neat reference to Kingdom Come, though I was glad he didn't get bumped off and it seemed like they were borrowing a little from Wildfire with him too. Most bizarre cameo had to be Vibe. I mean, Vibe?!?
