I'm sure it's been done before and it will be done again. Vote for your favorite ep.

Although my two favorite characters, the Flash and Hawkgirl were not in it, this interpretation of Aquaman was the first good one I've ever seen. :)

The Enemy Below was great. Forgiving a so-so Orm, the show featured the best animation [so far], a cool Aquaman, and a great chase sequence featuring Deadshot (who no one saw coming!).

I guess I'm one of the few who loved the pilot. It featured all seven heroes, the music was great, and I liked the fact that they were fighting for the fate of the whole planet. The others have been very cool, but I had to vote for "Origins."

It's hard to choose. I know Secret Origins is my least favorite. It's hard to say because the second parts of each story are always much better than the first part. I guess the first part is just the build up, and then the second half is where the huge action blow out starts. But if I have to choose an episode as a whole, I guess I would say "In Blackest Night".

Hmmm... the first part of "In Blackest Night" was better than the first, IMHO, esp. the first part of that. It was nice seeing a hero not in costume and taking out "normal" punks. I love that, "Whoa! Did he do that in high school?!" line when Stewart changed in front of the whole room.
It started to lose it when the JL team asked the Manhunters their purpose, and after one short answer all heck broke lose. Since when did the JL team become "shoot first ask questions later"? And does no one realize that the battle zone is populated and they should be more careful? A turning point in the movie SUPERMAN II is when Superman gets up after a good fight, sees the destruction and realizes to himself, "Whoa... What I am doing? I gotta take this fight elsewhere, and leaves despite everyone thinking he's chickening out.
After the Manhunter fight, "In Blackest Night" lost it with me because it immediately went down the alien avenue. Come on, folks, can't we have good plot devices and drama without aliens, magic, and/or supertechno gadgets? :mad:
A good GL story with John Stewart ala B:TAS with GL character development was the avenue to take, not the alien trial. Keep it more realistic.

So, out of the entire JLA, that would leave just Flash and Batman? :confused:

I voted for Secret Origins. I thought it was a good pilot and it also featured all 7 heros which was cool.

Heh, heh... :D no, I mean keep the heroes as they are but keep their enemies and their abilities real... difficult to defeat due to GASP! :eek: cunning... but real.
For example, in WORLD'S FINEST, Superman flies into Lex's complex wearing a radiation suit. The Joker (who's not an all-powerful alien creature), holding kryptonite, is "defeated" until he says, "Wait! I almost forgot the acid!" and squirts it on the suit. The suit dissolves and Supes is on the floor exposed to kryptonite.
The ol' acid-in-the-flower trick is one of Joker's sick weapons. Not supertechno, no lasers... bupkus... however, due to the Joker's cunning, he won that battle and it took Superman more effort (with Batman's help) to actually stop him... even though Lex and he are mere mortals.
WORLD'S FINEST was excellent except for all those super robots and the flying machine at the end. All that destruction would have brought about the US Air Force in an instant, yet they were invisible. A "real" chase scene in a (ho hum) car with wacky Joker & Harley driving putting other drivers in peril would have been more plausible. Batman at chase while Superman is "catching" endangered civilians left and right who are victims of Joker & Harley's bad driving. :p
To the writers: If you're gonna target adults with these cartoons, stop with the big explosions and bangs. My attention span is better than that. :mad:
Think B:TAS "I Am the Night" and you've got my attention. :)

I think the Enemy Below has been the best eppy this Season by far!! It had the most interesting plot with loads of action! Of courese,if I they would air Injustice For All already, I might change my vote.

I voted for Paradise Lost, it was great to see Wonder Woman more fleshed out and I loved the fight scene at the end.

I voted for Paradise Lost, also. The animation and voice acting were superb(although I don't think I'll ever get used to Newbern's Superman)

With only four episodes down, its pretty difficult to say which episode is best. I haven't seen part 2 of "Paradise Lost" so its hard to say if this was the best episode so far. I wasn't so pleased with the first part though. :(
I did like very much "Secret Origins". Despite some weakness in voice acting, Seeing all seven heroes battling an alien race was a welcome treat. The best scenes were all in the second part of this episode. I would still buy the movie though when it comes out on DVD. :)
My choice for best episode lies between "The Enemy Below" and "In Blackest Night". Both had displayed the characters very well especially Superman both in character and power. The first part of "In Blackest Night" was quite good and builds up well for the second part, but part 2 of "The Enemy Below " delivered some of the most intense scenes and best climatic ending of the show so far. Based on this information, I would have go with "The Enemy Below" for Best Episode. :D

I am torn between "In Blackest Night" and "The Enemy Below". If I had to choose between the two, Enemy would get my vote. It just has to the best of the series. I know people who don't watch cartoons and they were talking about that, how Aquaman was wicked cool, and the action in part 2 was superb.

GREAT interpretation of Aquaman, best plot so far, really nicely animated (although "Paradise Lost" was the best animation of the series so far- in my opinion)

I had to go with Secret Origins. Can anyone guess why?
Exactly! It features J'onn!! He's never given enough screen time in any other episode, though I do love all the others that have come out so far because he has played a part in all of them. He's so adorable!!! ^_^

While it's still too early to declare a best episode, up to now my favorite has been The Enemy Below.

I suspect Shaun MacGaughlin(producer) former Aquaman scribe, put more TLC than Left Eyes Lopes in the Enemy Below. Kudos to Kevin Hopps for an innovative cahone' laced storyline.
It's clear Aquaman had a stronger presence, and better characterization than ANYONE in the current Justice League. It was such a fricken pleasure to see a manual do it yourself hero with no flight, kick tushi(gotta keep it Fred Rogers G rated ;) This one is going to stay with us for all while. I predict incapable of being upstaged.
It's clear, Aquaman makes this series SOOOO much more interesting. It doesn't take Jack Kirby to incorporate a soild 8 on this team, especially if these X cartoons do several more.
