gee.....I wonder who will win....
Why not just put Justice League up against Bashing one's head against a sharp spike...

Justice League is better by far. Plus, JL has Hawkgirl which is a big plus in my book.

[Spider]

I'd agree that it's JL, although I like both. But SF didn't have 'take no prisoners' Hawkgirl. ;)

[James Harvey]

I'd say this is pretty one-sided! Justice League is by far the best of the two series!

[Batman 80]

Thanks heavily in part to the beautiful Hawkgirl! :D

[The Mad Hatter]

Considering the board this is posted in... I think the results are inevitable. :p

[Naraht]

gee, 9-0....I'm shocked.....

I mean really...9 to NOTHING.....

NOTHING...




Only 9 ppl have voted?

Okay, so I'm the only person who has voted for Superfriends, but I find Justice League to be incredibly dry and uninvolving. Superfirends works really well as an unintentional comedy, and is therefore far more entertaining in my book. The animation of JL is a great leap forward, but the dialog is sometimes eerily similar to SF.

JL is better for 3 reasons, Hawkgirl, Military man John Stewart, and its smarter SF was just to childish mabey if i was 5 i would say SF.

I have been a long time fan of the SuperFriends since it first aired, and can proudly say that I wouldn’t be the comic book fan I am today if it wasn’t for that show.

If I have to compare the two shows side by side, Justice League is definitely superior. But keep in mind that we are comparing apples to oranges. SuperFriends may be inferior to JL, but it was very successful in its day.

The SuperFriends ran on Saturday Mornings (cartoon "prime time") from 1973 to 1986 -- making it the longest-running cartoon based on a comic book in US animation history -- especially if you count the ten-plus years of syndication. In fact, I believe only Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse are the only other American cartoons that can boast a 13-year run.

The SF was in a different time. We are in the Justice League era now.

13.04% of the population can't be wrong. Rise up brothers and Vote SuperFriends!

[Sirkenz17]

jl all the way!:D

The Hawkgirl factor helps a lot, but the big boost comes from the redemption of Aquaman.:cool:

Actuallly, Bugs Bunny had a longer run than that---"the Bugs Bunny" show and its various incarnations ("The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show", etc.) lasted on Saturday mornings from 1960 (where it started off in prime time) through 2000 (when they moved all the Looney Tunes shorts to cable, hmph). A 40-year run...

Re: the two shows:

Geez, how do I put this...

As a kid, I liked the Super Friends a lot. Looking back on it now, though, I'm aware of how cheesy it was (bad animation, goofy plot contrivances, etc.).

On the other hand, despite giving it a chance, I ultimately couldn't stand "Justice League"----it felt too much like what I dislike about current comic books (and why I mostly don't buy superhero comics much these days), in how everyone's written like obnoxious, jerky-acting 9th-graders or something (and save the "it's realistic" line---nothing about being "realistic" demands acting like words I'm not allowed to use on this forum ;-) ). All that and other factors (hating the way Wonder Woman's portrayed in the series, etc.) turned me off of the show (and while I still had cable, not even bothering to give JLU a chance).

So, while I voted for Super Friends (out of not getting annoyed with the characters), if I were to take the SF's faults seriously, guess the whole thing'd be a draw... (shrug)

Who's more likely to want a DVD set of Super Friends over JL, anyway...

[Knight]

Justice League no contest

Although I praise Superfriends for it efforts and when I was 8 I loved it , its hard for me to sit through and watch it now.

[Nekoris]

Agreed, I voted for "Justice League."

[Style]

All I want to say is that Superfreinds is better than most people give it credit for. And Superfriends was produced under much more extreme conditions. I mean, people may cry over the Bat-embargo for JLU, but Superfriends was produced under a "violence of any kind" embargo. Considering that, they did alright for themselves.

Check out "Superfriends: Rest in Peace" sometime. It's the flipping "Over the Edge" of Superfriends, (In every sense of the meaning,) and was about as deep as the show got.

[Squall]

If Justice League is James Bond, then SuperFriends is Austin Powers. :p

[Anthonynotes]

Agreed, I voted for "Justice League." "Super Friends" is to gay-ish & sounds like it should stay in the 60's!

Well:

1. Super Friends debuted in the early-to-mid-70's, not the 60's.

2. "To gay-ish"? Gee, at long last, I've pinpointed what it was in childhood that made *me* gay! Now to figure out if Static Shock is "too black-ish" or not (despite me already being Black)... ;-p

If Justice League is James Bond, then SuperFriends is Austin Powers. :p
Oh my god. Yes, I can see that now. :D
