Editorial Reviews
Better characterization and epic storylines combined with the usual topnotch voice talent make Justice League's second season even better than the first. Some of the more intriguing story lines involve the League forming an unlikely partnership with Darkseid against Brainiac ("Twilight"); an alternate-dimension Justice League establishing a martial state in order to keep the peace ("A Better World"), which raises an interesting moral question that came up later in DC's Identity Crisis comic series; the death of Superman ("Hereafter"); and the League teaming up with Doctor Fate, Aquaman, and Solomon Grundy ("The Terror Beyond"). Other villains include the Secret Society and the Joker's Royal Flush Gang; Amazo, the android who can absorb the heroes' powers; Vandal Savage; and Eclipso. Most story lines are given two episodes (except the holiday-themed single episode "Comfort and Joy" and the three-part season finale "Starcrossed") and involve some combination of the seven Justice Leaguers: Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy, continuing his work from Batman: The Animated Series), Superman (George Newbern), Wonder Woman (Susan Eisenberg), J'onn J'onzz (Carl Lumbly), Hawkgirl (Maria Canals), Green Lantern (Phil Lamarr), and the Flash (Michael Rosenbaum). One of the themes developed was an emerging relationship between Hawkgirl and another Leaguer, but it threatens to come apart in the monumental "Starcrossed," when her fellow Thanagarians arrive on Earth to protect humanity from a Gordanian invasion and it turns out Hawkgirl has been keeping a secret from her teammates. Producer Bruce Timm, casting director Andrea Romano, and others also worked on the highly regarded Batman and Superman animated series, and the result is one of the best animated series on television, satisfying for adults and sometimes too intense for kids. DVD features include commentary by producers Timm and James Tucker, director Butch Lukic or writer Stan Berkowitz, and story editor Dwayne McDuffie on three episodes (why they love Hawkgirl: "If she loves you, she loves you with all her heart. If she hates you, she's gonna hit you with that big honkin' mace."), and featurettes on the voice talent and the second season. The series is shown in the widescreen format it adopted for this season, but it's not anamorphically enhanced for widescreen televisions, which is unusual for 2006, especially considering Starcrossed was released in anamorphic widescreen as a stand-alone DVD in 2004. --David Horiuchi

I wish they had this when I was a kid. (2008-09-05)

I'm still a kid at heart, but this is a great series for anyone who enjoys comics and heroes.
Extremely Satisfying Continuation (2008-08-28)
Customer Review : 5
Simply put, this series can be enjoyed thoroughly on its own. However, for the best experience I would recommend also buying the First Season. The conclusion of this second series is masterful and moving for all fans of these characters.

As a fan of the Justice League series, I wanted to complete my collection; therefore, purchased the remaining item needed. As such, I take price and rating into consideration whenever I order ANYTHING. I had never purchased a product directly from Amazon and was a little skeptical but thought I would give it a try seeing as they had the best price and above board rating. My product arrived within days of ordering, was factory sealed and in excellent condition. Needless to say, I will be ordering directly from Amazon more often.
Perhaps the best season (2008-05-22)

The JLA grew up. It's still kid friendly, but the plot points definitely have appeal for grown ups. Perhaps the best season of one the best animated super hero shows ever. Highly recommended.
