Just d/led & watched FtMWHE. And I have to say, I liked this a hellavalot better than the comic version. This one, you can believe that Supes wouldn't want to leave "Krypton" behind. Plus Bats watching Chill get hit again... and again... and again is much more an expression of who he is than some nebulous fantasy with him and a wife & kids (If there's one JLAer who would rule the Earth with an iron fist, it's Batman). And, after the beating she gets in both versions, better WW gets to stop Mongol than Todd.

I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the Blue Beetle, unlike the other Charltan characters, was originally owned by Fox, and then purchased by Charltan.

The Blue Beetle has appeared in other media already, if memory serves, and could have his rights tied up. Even though Charlton created their own version of the character, that might not matter.

Yeah, they definitely don't seem to be as "unlimited" as I thought they were gonna be...

Yep. Three episodes, a total of 3 "new" heroes shown in action, and all of those were in the first episode. Kind of a disappointing start to the series.
What I don't get is why this episode aired this week. This is listed on Cartoon Network's site as episode 5. Episode 3 was supposed to have been a Hawk & Dove feature. Me am confused.
Episode 4, which I can only assume should air next week, is supposed to feature Supergirl, who already got a turn in the first episode. Where are all of the other heroes this series was supposed to feature? Bring on the new guys!!!

I thought this was a good one & really liked how Diana seemed to be the leader. John's optimism and creative use of his ring was a nice change of pace from his "Drill Sargent" persona. Baby Etrigan was so adorable.

I agree. From the title of the episode "Child's Play", I was hoping that we'd see Supergirl, Star Spangled Kid (or whatever her name is), & Hawk & Dove. Maybe a cameo of Zatanna providing them with instructions from Limbo.

Yeah, I was disappointed in the kids ep, for the same reason everyone else was... we just had the big three in the last episode, and now we have the big three plus one, with a pointless cameo by the demon? Justice League Downsized, is more like it.

Nah, I loved this eposide. Thought it was funny and entertaining. Loved baby demon and loved that big three acted liked kids. Kinda reminded of Peter David's Sins of Youth story arc.
It was probably some cartoon network exec thinking that we want to see more of the big three.

I just read over at comicscontinuum.com that Hawk & Dove will be voiced by Fred Savage and Jason Hervey. To top that, Savage will be Hawk and Hervey will be Dove.
It'd be nice if Steve Ditko gets a "created by" credit or for the Question's upcoming appearance.
