With the quicken Justice League : The New Frontier hitting stores today , you may find yourself hankering for more Justice League action , but not lie with quite where to get it . Now that product of the live action motion-picture show ( nowrumoredto be called Justice League : deadly ) hashit another rip , you could come up yourself miss for Justice . So here ’s a template to the other Justice League production you could already watch .
Super friend : worry about possible accusal of ultranationalism , ABC did n’t think Justice League of America had the right hoop as the claim for its 1973 Saturday morning JLA cartoon . But judging by the seven name changes that the series went through in its 13 - year run , obviously Super Friends was n’t the right choice either .
Despite character designs by vivification giant Alex Toth , this Hanna - Barbera series was limited by some shitty animation and even shittier storylines , even when Jack Kirby ’s Darth Vader - prototype Darkseid came in to mess with the heroes in later seasons . The show ’s main drawback , however , may have been the kid chum thrust upon the champion by worried television executive ; Wonder Twins Zan and Jayna may have been annoying , but they were nothing compare to the non - powered Marvin and Wendy . And do n’t get me started on Wonderdog .
Legends Of The Superheroes : Oh , Adam West , must everything you touch turn to clique ? seemingly , if this 1979 two - part resilient - activity particular ( also starring Burt Ward as a somewhat quondam than usual Robin , as well as Ed McMahon as himself ) is anything to go by . If the laugh data track on both shows was n’t enough to let you know that thing were n’t being taken too seriously , the fact that the 2d installment of the series was a roast in honor of Batman where brain - dead undead scoundrel Solomon Grundy kept perforate Ed McMahon every sentence he said the Word of God “ swamp ” might clew you in to the revilement the Justice League endured in their prime - time entry .
Justice League of America : thing , of course , could get worse . This 1997 live - actionpilotfor a show that gratefully never got produced focus around the successful late-80s version of the laughable devoid of big name – that ’s how we get MAS*H ’s David Ogden Stiers as dark-green - skinned leader J’Onn J’Onzz , fighting Miguel Ferrer ’s nefarious meteorologist , The Weatherman . Not so much inner circle as just patently bad , this show was unaired in the States , but end up getting eject to unlucky viewers overseas as a TV movie .
Justice League / Justice League Unlimited : Leave it to the animators to eventually get it right . The five twelvemonth political campaign of Justice League — which changed formatting double , and name once , during that fourth dimension — was brought to the Cartoon connection in 2001 by the people who ’d created the innovational Batman cartoon in the 1990s , and used write up by life and comics veterans ( let in Warren Ellis and Wonder Woman ’s Gail Simone ) to produce with a show that was as respectful to the rooter as it was friendly to a unconstipated audience . It also featured classic scifi doer ( including Mark Hamill , Michael Ironside , Rob Zombie and almost everyone who had ever appeared in a Joss Whedon show . Also , Ed Asner toy Granny Goodness , which always disport me . )
With some of that show ’s staff behind New Frontier — as well as work out on more direct - to - videodisk animated lineament for DC — it ’s good to know that , even if George Miller does go in the lead with cast Seth Cohen as Wally West in the springy action moving picture , there ’s still likely for some good Justice League movies in our future .
