No, my answer wasnt right either...it suddenly dawned on me that Marvel had allowed several of their characters (Thor, Captain America, Sub-Mariner, etc) to be used in a cartoon format way back in 1966 (i think).
The unique animation in each feature reminded me of how the production staff must have "cut-and-paste" scenes/stories adapted from the actual comics themselves. I hope that's what you were thinking of, mate

I get Cartoon Network on cable on Australian TV, the Unlimited spin-off is still running the first season (after Hawkgirl's expulsion, that is)
But i havent had much info about it except through surfing at the TV Tome website - thats a cool place to look up stuff on live-action super-heroics as well as the animated counterpart. Have you heard of it, dude?

Yeah, it was basically just cut and paste pics from the comic book over a bit of background animation. I'm pretty sure that was Joe Kubert artwork for the Viking Prince sequences.
Too bad they didn't animate it like they did for those old Marvel cartoons. That was really horrible animation (the old Marvel 'toons) but it was really Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko stuff they did it to. Wierd but cool at the same time.

Superboy and myself were just chatting about it, Yellow Kid...That Marvel Super-Heroes cartoon show was terrible in a way, but at least the stories were taken directly from the comics themselves (more or less)...

LAM - you have to wait for another year for JLU's 3rd season? But anyway, the 2nd season of JLU gets better and better! Vixen kicks a big time butt there.

Superboy, I dunno what Foxtel (the local cable network) are going to do with their cartoon programming, i expect we Aussies will catch up in (as you just said) another couple of years...
BTW does Vixen look the same as she did when she was a member of the Detroit branch of the JLA or has her look and costume been redesigned?

Gina Torres - didn't she play Cleopatra in an episode of "Xena, Warrior Princess" once?

The 1st one: The Gamara cameo was funny as was the Supergirl Convention. I liked that both Stargirl and STRIPE played big parts. I'm glad Countney seemed to get along better with Kara at the end. Good to see Silver Banshee.
The 2nd one: The whole plotline with the Viking Prince was keen. It was nice seeing Giganta, and Killer Frost again. I liked how Diana and Martian Manhunters interactions. I wish Mr Terrific had a bigger part then Ollie. I'm disappointed that it seems that MM seems to have left the Justice League at the moment. I hope that doesn't last to long. I'm guessing it might lead into a standalone ep with him in his dectective persona.

Maybe it's because I'm not much of a Flash fan or maybe because it's been so long since a new ep, I was underwhelmed with the latest. Good to see Orion, but he didn't seem quite himself.
I liked the scene with Trickster in the bar though - it really highlighted the world of Flash and his rogues and how it's much different from Batman and Orion's worlds.

Mark Hammil's voice for the Trickster was pretty cool. I was amused by the nod to the old Flash live action show
