I have a real interest in superheroes and in animation, with both together this had all the ingredients to be at least a good show. And it was, no more than that, it is a brilliant show, and one of the best superhero series ever made. Personally I think Batman:The Animated Series just beats it, but Justice League is without a doubt one of the most original, ambitious and deep animated shows out there.
The production values are really detailed and rich. You can never go wrong with sophisticated colours, sharp and decisive character features, epic scope and crisp backgrounds, in all four of these areas Justice League succeeds. The music is consistently superb, haunting, rousing and dark, with a main theme that sticks in the mind for a long time.
Even more impressive is the depth, story lines and the writing. The writing is brilliant, there are moments of humour but it does always have a focused tone, and it is all sophisticated and taut, a major step up with sappy one liners and clichés that some characters are made to utter in some shows now. I was so impressed with the story lines, even for an animated these story lines are quite deep and complex, but they never cease to be gripping and compelling. Plus the characters have so much depth to them. They aren't boring, useless or clichéd, they all have unique personalities, a purpose and are always well incorporated into the stories.
I have always loved Batman, Superman, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, and they are amazing characters here. I was also surprised at how much depth there was to J'onn J'onzz and in a good way, and the villains are interesting too and actually have motives that don't come across as absurd. The voice acting is outstanding too, Kevin Conroy IS Batman in my eyes especially. Overall, this show is fantastic, and I am actually running out of words to describe how truly good Justice League is other than to say if you love superheroes, characters and stories with depth and animation, this is a must see! 10/10 Bethany Cox
