It began September 5 1992 with Batman: The Animated Series. It now ends on May 13, 2005 one of the greatest reigns of quality series cartoons in television history with the series finale of Justice League Unlimited.
In this period we had Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League and finally Justice League Unlimited. This 13 year period of cartoons has re-defined comics and the DC universe for a generation. Its influence is felt throughout cartoons and the comics. When future cartoons are made, the benchmark all will be compared to will always be this series of amazing work.
Today, at 10:30pm the curtain call on the final episode of Justice League, "Destroyer." A fine example of excellence and a sign of what shall be greatly missed as 13 years of storytelling simply wasn't enough.
Some moments of note in "Destroyer":
- the world wide butt whupping
- Superman v Daily Planet globe
- "Doesn't look like it quite made escape velocity."
- Superman v Darkseid
- return of Martian Manhunter
- Batman v Darkseid
- "Excellent strategy."
- "...what we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose..."
- "...I had to go get my power suit."
- "...five minute headstart."
- "These are the end times."
"And the adventure continues."
Good post to honor the Timm/Dini-verse by. And what a fine episode this was!!
