This brings the first appearance of Aquaman in the series. Although he appeared in an episode of Superman: TAS prior to JL, both versions seem to contrast from each other. The S:TAS version had Aquaman resemble his classic self, while the one in “The Enemy Below” has his “badass” look- long hair, shaggy beard, and no shirt, as well as the attitude. This doesn’t make Aquaman all too likable- he comes off rude, impulsive, and a bit of an ass….

For this episode, we get a look at the Green Lantern John Stewart. Back when this show was in its production stages, there was controversy over choosing John as a main character for the show, the two main reasons being that it felt like token casting for some people, as well as the fact that there has already been a Green Lantern in the DCAU, namely Kyle Rayner.

You know those teenagers on the internet who constantly boast about how awesome their lives were as a kid, how grade school and Saturday mornings were their milk and honey? I’m not one of them.

I’m not gonna lie and say that I remember the exact date that Toonami went off the air in America. On the contrary, it’s all a blur to me—I remember I was in high school, and I remember finding out somehow that that night would be Toonami’s last airing (Pacific timer, so I probably found out from someone online, or a commercial, or something) and not really feeling that much more past that. In general, I watched the action block…

Episode 2: Class-Representative Selection Match For the record, I’m not actually expecting this show to be… well, ‘ya know, good, at any point during the course of its 12-episode run. Going into a series that I was already told beforehand would suck, I’m naturally expecting the worst of the worst at the turn of every frame. That said, I am, however, expecting the 11 remaining episodes to not be as dreadfully boring as the first. After all, this is supposed…
