There are a lot of really good things about this show, but the one aspect that stands out most to me is just how good the Action actually is! It seems like every episode has a chase or fight that constantly leave me saying "Oh man, that was so cool!". Seriously, the fight choreography is wonderful, especially for the super-powered hand-to-hand, which WB Animation has proved time and time again that they've really got down pat.The only thing that keeps the show from being perfect is the writing. The writing bad by any means, though. In fact, most of the episodes have very interesting plot lines, but I feel that the show often lacks the time to focus on characters, and Episodes that do focus on the character interactions will be hit-and-miss depending on your tastes in dialogue. Understandable though, given the 11 minute run period. But the potential is there for two- part finales, like seen with Batman: Brave And The Bold!All in all, incredibly pleased with the series. If you follow DC's wonderful history in animation, this show is the next big step in the staircase.

Let's get this clear, this is not young justice or voltron legendary defender, this is just a 10- minute episode cartoon that has no character development or story, but has a striking balance of humour and action. I hope the episodes get a little longer, because what I'm seeing is an instant gratification of a lot of good action and exposition. While I disliked the animation at first I can safely say now that it works quite well for the story and has some nostalgia of Bruce timms art style, and indeed, the art director did work for Bruce Timm. The cartoon mainly consists of shorts that revolve around the insanely big DC gallery of heroes and villains, were it quickly starts with an action scene, and ends with a punchline, but that doesn't mean it's not fun, I'm actually surprised at the balance they managed to reach. You don't get bored, and these 10 minutes end up being one of the finer times you spent in your day. All in all batman the brave and the bold ( the closes series to this, if not its original inspiration) has a finer art style and a longer more consistent plot, the only nitpick I have with this is like I said, too short. But for now, in this lackluster era of animation, I'm only enjoying Tmnt and voltron, and this is a fine addition to watch, surprisingly recommended.

I used to watch a lot of the superhero animated series in the '90s, but haven't seen any for a while. I'd heard this one was good so I thought I'd take a look, but the first episode lost me immediately.I don't love the art style, but I could live with it. What I couldn't deal with was the manic pace. The series is pure action with virtually no time spent on story or character. The show starts with a fight, soon there's an explosion, more fighting, a little explanation, some more fighting. The series from the '90s like Batman the Animated Series and X-Men had characters, stories, a point of view. This show might be fine if you're a kid - I haven't been a kid since the '70s so I can't speak to that - but this series doesn't not give me much hope for the current state of TV kids cartoons.

Look I'm a fan of superhero cartoons, which I watch them if it's about a favorite hero or (in this case) team of them. With that being said, I usually give anything a fair shake before becoming a regular viewer. But the silliness with characters like Plastic Man and Booster Gold; and Manhunter's Earthly alter ego being given a British accent over how he sounded in Justice League Unlimited, will take some getting used to. Though aside from it, I think it's cool that Firestorm and Professor Martin Stine in addition to Cyborg (giving a nod to Galactic Guardians) are included as recurring characters. So at least it has that going for it.
