Yea, more JL.

On Saturday, July 5th at 8:00 pm ET, C(artoon)N(etwork) will show two one-hour Superman: The Animated Series episodes, "Apokolips Now!" and "Legacy," followed by the world-premiere of "Twilight of the Gods," a new, one hour Justice League episode.

Boo, more waiting.

Justice League returns with more all-new episodes in October.

Thank you soooo much for the heads up. Sorry to hear about the further wait till October but any JL is very welcome. Can I infer Darkseid is involved in Twilight of the gods?

Yes and I've seen elsewhere that Bruce Timm who produced both shows hints that "Superman's brooding doubts" that served as a catalyst for the formation of JL comes to head as he returns full circle to confront Darkseid. It should be quite an evening for Supe and Darkseid fans alike.

"Legacy" and "Apokcolips Now" are two of the best Superman stories ever and worth seeing on their own. Word from Hong Kong (where JL Season 2 is currently airing) has been very favorable to "Twilight", so I'm looking forward to it.

I love Darkseid, unconditionally, and Superman but a confrontation involving Darkseid's behind the scenes intrigue matched against Batman's detective skills has me chomping at the bit.

What's the story with Apocalypse and New genesis, do they exist in the DC Universe or in some tangential space all their own? I wonder if the Green Lantern Corp is aware of Darkseid. You'd think they'd must be.

In the comics Martian Manhunter and Darkseid had a history as well. I doubt they will bring that into the cartoon as Darkseid is more of a Superman adversary.

The entire fight between Superman and Darkseid in Legacy was great. Apokalypse Now was also one of my favorite Superman episodes, especially Dan Turpin throwing a rock at Darkseid.

Definitaly looking forward to a new Justice League cartoon. Too bad the wait for anymore episodes will be until October.

I'm waiting for an episode with Captain Marvel. The creators of the JL keep promissing. I think I'm in for a really long wait.

Not being the Big Red Cheese's No. 1 fan, I can't tell if any of these will feature him just from the title alone.

**GestaltBennie** · Jun 26th, '03, 07:53 AM

I hadn't heard of the Big Red Cheese scheduled for any eps this season.

From what I've heard, "Tabula Rasa" is an Amazo episode, "Only A Dream" is a Dr. Destiny episode. And it's probably safe to bet that "Eclipsed" is their Eclipso episode.

I am far from being a DC continuity nut, but as far as I know Apocalypse and New Genesis are in fact part of the DC universe. Darkseid and the GL corp were known to each other, but he is the legitimate ruler of his world and knew about their yellow vulnerability.

I think there is an out of continuity story where they tried to unseat him, but he had his minions painted yellow and had their weapons adjusted to fire yellow beams. It was not pretty.

Appolilips and New Genesis, are part of the "Forth world" a alternate dimmension type of thing. However both worlds have access to Boom Tubes a device that lets them travel to earth...

***Hermit*** · Jun 26th, '03, 09:49 AM

Argh, the waiting. They've put things off so long I don't even watch the reruns anymore.

I'll give it another chance, but these 4 plus month pauses drive me nuts.

I read an interview with one of the writers and it either said or strongly implied that the new season was starting in July. Made this announcment that it'll only be a 1 hr special very, very disappointing. They mentioned that it's been something like a year and a half since the old episodes and talked about how much better the stories would be because of the extra time spent on them. Frankly I felt the first season was excellent. I thought they also mentioned that they would have fewer guest heroes this season since the JLA has enough members with plenty of story opportunity.

But, I see that the Teen Titans will start next month on Cartoon Network. Not sure how good that show will be based on the little clips and commercials they've shown.

A few more guesses (based on other info I've heard about the upcoming season).

Comfort and Joy - Christmas special
Wild Card - Joker and Harley
Hearts and Minds - Despero?

Teen Titans, while also a Bruce Timm show, is marketed at (and thus written for) younger audiences. As such, I plan to watch it but my expectations are tempered. At the very least, it'll give me that "superhero cartoon" fix I seem to so desperately need until October when JL season 2 starts.
