Season One

Go To Episode

Part One

• Should it worry me that to find out the temperature of Mars I consulted a 'West Wing' guide, and not a science text of any kind? "I converted it to Celsius in my head."

• Run, run now.

• It must be very stressful being an explorer, it's practically your job to prod objects that no sane person would ever want to prod. 'Do Not Prod The Alien Artefact' should be in astronaut basic training.

•  The title theme to this show is wonderful. I want it as a ring tone. So do I now! I miss my Stargate ring tone

• Oh, the heady world of sub-station social life

• Even though they're obviously evil in some way I still hope those people turn up to the party. The other guy's going to feel awful if they don't. 

• I like the way Batman has comebacks before the fight even starts.

• Batman's getting the crap kicked out of him by a girl! Well, okay, she's woman, and a rather large woman at that, and possibly not human, but it's still not an auspicious start

• Does Superman have nothing better to do than stalk Batman?

• Of all the times to receive an important mental signal... Couldn't the telepathic being tell that he's busy?

• “What happened?” You got in the way, that's what happened.

• "And then... then I fell over. I'm sorry."

• What makes you decide to check the deep space monitoring networks in the first place? That's the kind of thing Batman does on a Saturday night. It's probably on his favourites list

• Batman is surprisingly resentful about the key

• Batman seems unhappy with the thought of accessorising. 

• Oh God, Superman hasn't really thought this one through.

• Do warheads really require heat vision to disable them? Isn't there just a switch or something?

• Flash makes a very important point, if in his own inimitable style. 

• Clark has a very drab apartment. Someone needs to buy him some pictures, and few nice throw cushions. Possibly a big screen tv

• I want a morphing guard dog of evil. You'd feel safe walking that at night

• Move people! For God's sake don't just watch the giant meteorite

• Medics really need that kind of information, Superman. "I'm not sure..." isn't a lot of help

• Although if she's checking his secret identity before checking for injuries, she's probably not a very competent medic. I wonder if the the medical confidentiality rule applies to the discovery of superhero identities. 

• Does it matter what it is? It's large, sticky and has sharp legs, just run.

• The walker just blew Superman across the city, do the police really think small arms fire is going to have any effect?

• Does that ship automatically follow Batman or does Alfred have to fly it around? 

• Look at the poor lone guy trying to rescue Superman. 

• I am very proud of these people for not showing a big shot of the Sphinx when the invaders attack Cairo, even if they did go for the Eiffel Tower/Paris trap

• What are the alien invaders after in the jungles of Malaysia?

• Were there really omens, or does Diana have a secret cable connection that shows CNN?

• Destroying government property is exactly Batman's style though.

• Why on earth does J'onn think that's any less freaky than his normal shape? It's surprising how disarmed Superman is by the addition of a cape and some leather strapping. "Well, now I can see you're my kind of person..."

Part Two

• If the Amazons never leave Themyscira, then why do they have ocean-going ships?

• I like it that Wonder Woman's superhero life begins with theft. 

• Why do they have a sacred tiara in the first place?

• What a way to discover someone can walk through solid matter.

• My brother just saw this scene and said “Who's she, Sparrow-woman?” So close and yet so far... 

• Hawkgirl goes wherever there's something to hit.

• Occasionally I fell a deep longing for a super-powered mace with spikes on it. Well, perhaps a little more than occasionally.

• Bats! Aw, Flash and Batman have known each other so long they've got nicknames.

• That wasn't a pinch, that was a shove

• When has Flash ever been quick on the uptake?

• Why did J'onn need the gasmask if he can take it off in a room full of gas.

• Poor J'onn...

• You mean, so we couldn't monitor them in deep space?

• It nice to see Star Wars has crept so deep that even a fictional reporter in another series call them 'Walkers'

• You've *so* got to feel for Senator Carter, "But I was only trying to achieve world peace!"

• That's not a crater, it's a hillock. Craters go down

• Superman is just hoping nobody mentions the lack of defensive weaponry. 

• Green Lantern really thinks he's the leader doesn't he?

• I'm not entirely happy with the physics of Flash running on water, but I'm going to let it go for now. 

• GL suddenly regrets not letting Flash go with Diana.

• What has Flash landed in there?

• Of course they're having better luck, they don't have Flash.

• Of course, Wonder Woman's real power is being able to do all that in a strapless bra.

• Has Hawkgirl ever thought it was really a time for words?

• You'd think Flash would've learned by now to look where he's going.

• Hawkgirl has a very girly cough.

• Think Bats, think. Is it possible they can actually read your minds? "It's almost as if they know what we're thinking..." That's because they're telepathic! Honestly Bruce, I know the alien in the bondage gear is distracting, but at least try and pay attention

• Those aliens make a great noise when they die.

Part Three

• Steal a bigger TV! If the world was coming to an end, the least you could do is watch it in widescreen

• Fear and the need to loot shops anyway.

• "Can we trust the space-case?" Those two really could have had that little chat more discreetly

• Ah, the classic rock throwing distraction. 

• I'm not sure the Justice League have another way, apart from simply using more brute force

• Hide you idiots! Really do people who stand around to watch an impending disaster really deserve to be saved?

• Even upside down, Superman's hair hasn't moved

• The Imperium's pink!

• That looks painful.

• "Have I?" Well, from the looks of it, I'd say yes..

• Oh! Surprise!Batman is good 

• They're reversing the polarity! (And for the first time on this show- "The Stargate fans got that...")

• How to say exactly the same thing three times- J'onn declaims, Flash makes a bad joke, and Batman explains it in small words that the rest of the League can understand

• Those big wiggly superaliens will always betray you in the end.

• Why hasn't Carter burned up in Earth's sun before now? He can't have stayed in deep shade for his entire political career

• Hawkgirl's only power is that she enjoys hitting people.

• I think I'd refuse to rescue the sticky person as well. You should be able to choose who you rescue. Sticky people can rescue themselves. 

• You can tell Batman has had that plan for months, just waiting for a reason to build it.

• I wonder if they each have their own mug. Or does the last one into work in the morning have to use the dirty teacup in the back of the cupboard?

• I'd stick around for iced mochas.

• How does Flash get to the Watchtower?

• Oh, just how unfeasibly cool is Batman here, "But when you need help, and you will..." Cool just comes so naturally to Batman doesn't it?

Part One

• That's what The Hague needs to make people take it seriously: Floating Platforms.
• They went to all the trouble of convening the trial when they knew the defendant wasn't there? There are jurors who had to take time off work for this
• The Justice League have only been formed a week and they're already wanted fugitives. 
• I think GL should keep the soft jazz as his official theme music. It should play whenever he has to do something dramatic
• GL's just ruined some innocent man's suspension (assuming that was a stolen car), most of the shopkeeper's takings have blown into the street, and he doesn't even restrain the kid once he's caught him. How impractical was that?
• I hate it when ex-teachers ask to use their first names
• I don't think he wanted a real answer, J'onn.
• Just because Batman says he's busy it doesn't mean he actually is. Batman's not busy at all, he's just run himself a Radox Herbal Bath and he's not getting out
• Let the boy have the GL haircut. He could pick styles that were a lot worse
• Flash is hanging on to Hawkgirl's legs. They really need to get him a jet pack or something.
• "My coffee table! No! My house insurance doesn't cover Martian-damage."
• I thinking of starting a chart of all the times Flash gets knocked out in comedy ways. It would be a nice companion to the Lex one
• I love the fact GL's ring has the power to change his outfit. It must save so much time
• If he could do that in High School, he probably wouldn't have spent much time in High School
• The Guardians are very creepy people. Mind you, the Green lantern Corps aren't exactly normal.
• Yeah, "sensing turmoil" wasn't the greatest revelation ever
• John is the strange one?
• "We're not here to start a war?" Hawkgirl wouldn't have come along if she'd known that.
• “Does anyone ask if I know how?” God bless Flash.... You realise this means someone's going to have to teach him now?
• Green Lantern just knows they're going to make things worse.
• Oh, well, if Superman apologises that's okay then.
• Yes, but you did it accidentally! As much as you can blow up a planet by accident anyway

Part Two

• It took Flash to point out the flaw in their system of justice?
• “That's how we solved our lawyer problem.” Fool proof, absolutely fool proof. They are incredibly smug about the lawyer problem
• GL just knows things are going to get worse now Flash is involved, he just doesn't know how. 
• I really adore the bouncy Green Lantern-ball
• Hawkgirl's been spoiling for a fight for ages.
• Oh dear, Flash has resorted to rhyme. 
• And that's the best type of witness.
• "How..? Well, often we see them committing crime, that's usually a big clue."
• Hawkgirl's spacesuit has wings! Batman has been busy with the needle and thread hasn't he? That's probably J'onn's handiwork, because I'm fairly sure he crochets in his spare time
• I sense Flash has said 'I object' one too many times.
• They're having the execution right there in the courtroom? They don't get a last meal?
• Flash showing dignity? That's unlikely to ever happen.
• The Green Lanterns have a little rhyme?
• “We made a good choice when we gave you the ring... however we think we made a mistake with the round one."
• Look at John storming off in a snit!
• Flash's grin is a little scary and possessive. 
• That was a weird episode to have second. They do seem incredibly devoted for a group of people who have only just met

Part One

• You know any episode that opens with a machine going 'ping' is going to be good.
• "At this depth?" They're at this depth, why be so surprised that other people are?
• The USS Defiant really didn't live up to it's name did it?
• Eyes on the road GL!
• Batman must get tired of building new Javelins all the time. Do they have more than one Javelin, or is it like Voyager's endless supply of two shuttles?
• How do those masks help them breathe? They're not connected to anything. 
• All those submariners are going to be dead by now.
• Why do the amphibious aqua-people bother building a city with an atmosphere?
• Honestly, Aquamen have no manners, the poor woman's been standing there *holding a baby* for the past half hour. Someone fetch her a chair
• Her robes don't hide much, do they?
• Where are Flash and Batman? Do they have to stay at home and bake whenever there's an underwater mission?
• Ooh, random MR voice #1. I shouldn't be listening out for these should I?
• What city is this?
• Aquaman has fish scales on his codpiece! (I so want to make a cod joke there, but it's not going to happen)
• That's a great TV they have in the Watchtower. Flash uses it to watch beach volleyball when it's his turn to be on watch
• Is it wise to wear loopy earrings when you have to do lots of swimming?
• How do they know what Aquaman's vitals are supposed to be?
• Hav they considered consulting a vet? They're far more used to dealing with amphibians
• Ah Batman! Flash is going to have some wonderful choux buns ready by the time he gets home. 
• It doesn't take a genius to realise that perhaps Aquaman needed to be in water. Did Batman just have the giant salt-water tank lying around, or did he have to take all his ornamental fish out of it first?
• His orders? He's a King he should be giving the orders. I think he means he ordered other people to leave it, but his grammar is rather ambiguous
• I have this wonderful vision of Aquaman being taken to recover at SeaWorld
• Wonder Woman needs to be a little more precise rather than just shouting 'over there'.
• Do the Justice League fix all the damage they cause?
• It's about time GL got smacked in the mouth. He's been a little shit throughout this episode
• Mmmm random MR voice #2. Deadshot's voice is spectacularly sexy. He needs to speak a lot more. 
• He's also quite wonderfully snitty "Could it be that someone paid me to?" 
• I expect it involves a very graphic description of what is going to happen to his testicles if he doesn't confess. Maybe Batman offered to make it worth his while?
• He took the gold with him on the mission?
• "I couldn't stop him." GL makes it sound like he tried! Aquaman knocked him senseless with one punch

Part Two

• That's it Superman, reveal that to the enemy.
• How is that going to kill J'onn?
• It's hard for a queen to look dignified whilst hanging by her shoulders.
• What exactly is he planning on doing with that baby?
• Oh, honestly. Don't they get Bond movies in Atlantis? Never just leave your enemies there and hope something else will kill them
• The Doomsday Thermal Reactor is a very exciting sounding weapon.
• He has a seal army of actual seals!
• If the entire world is flooded, then it's going to become their battle soon enough
• It must be nice to have whales on your side.
• There will already be parts of East Anglia under six feet of water, the Justice League need to hurry up.
• Younger sibling have a lot of repressed rage, don't we?
• Yes, this would be a really crappy time to say "I told you so." What is up with GL this week?
• Go on, let him fall!
• A rare concession to team work from Batman there.

Part One

• Lex! It's Lex! *Unfeasibly excited* Whilst I'm incredibly excited to see Lex, I can't help but feel I've been rather spoiled by MR. I want this Lex to sashay a little bit more than he does.
• Oh, that's rather sneaky, I feel sorry for Lex 
• I love the casual way Batman just keeps the Kryptonite. Batman is very eager to hang on to that kryptonite, isn't he? Maybe he and Superman have plans for it later.
• "Why do they always run"? Because they don't want to get caught!
• Poor Lex, as if things weren't bad enough it has to be him that catches him.
• It's nice that Superman is concerned
• Naked Lex! I know he's animated but it's an automatic response. 
• I bet Superman bought flowers.
• Someone perhaps ought to warn Batman 
• It's sweet that Lex thinks throwing the clipboard will help
• I really wouldn't want to be the Doctor to tell Lex there's nothing that can be done.
• If Lex has a terminal illness, leading to seizures, should he really be in prison?
• They have TVs in their cells? I can *almost* understand how Lex is transmitting through his TV, but how is he picking up Humanite?
• Lex's disposition is just fine.
• I think the amount of money I'd need would be disappointingly low
• Lex's idea of small is intriguingly big.
• Batman really isn't that comforting a rescuer.
• My Mum would be furious if a nice man rescued me from a burning building and I didn't have the manners to say think you
• I wonder what makes the criminal fraternity go with animal costumes instead of spandex. 
• I cannot tell you how much I love Star Sapphire's outfit. I think it's the thigh-high pink stiletto boots that do it for me
• So Copperhead is the best in the world at pretending to be a snake? Was there much competition?
• Flash walked right into that one. The speed might not help with getting dates, but there's something about his ability to vibrate at high speed that I think has never been fully explored
• Now we know that button controls the volume.
• I bet the police officers didn't know that part of the plan.
• The Justice League have a terrible habit of walking into traps.
• I'm surprised Lex isn't taping it to watch later.
• The one problem with Flash is that he's fairly useless during airborne fights. Sweetly, they get round this by knocking him unconscious every time one starts
• I bet Batman saves that top hat and cane for himself.
• You can tell Superman and Batman have had this conversation before. Superman should just tie him to the bed. No, not in *that* way. Well, maybe a little in that way
• Yeah, thanks J'onn, Batman really needed you to remind him of that
• Lex has the same reaction to party people that I do. "It's not a party."
• I want a little Bat tracer!

Part Two

• Wow. They're really not skimping on the restraints are they?
• Only Batman can look that defiant whilst stuck in a cage.
• I love Lex's nervous twitch.
• I think Bruce was after an amount then
• I don't think Bats is going to be threatened by the claws and the hissing. He tends to quite like that in a woman.
• He wears that snake-head voluntarily? I thought it was a mutation
• I like Flash's relaxed interrogation pose. Flash is on the interrogation team? Is he good cop?
• Superman just doesn't instill the same amount of fear, does he? Maybe it's because Batman actually carries out his threats
• What exactly did she believe in? Turning people into cats?
• Hands up who else wants to see exactly what's in the utility belt?
• The day after I saw this episode I spent several spare minutes at work spinning on my wheelie chair and laughing in a Joker-esque fashion
• If there are intruders, shouldn't he be staying to guard the main controls?
• "I can feel it..." Well, someone sounding the alarm and then disappearing is one thing, but now Hawkgirl's got a *feeling*...
• I'm not sure Batman ever laughs, unless he's being tickled and that happens very very rarely.
• Look at the way Lex crosses his legs.
• "Must be some kind of joke." I just adore the idea of someone making crank calls to the Watchtower. A secure line? Do the Justice League get a lot of crank phone calls?
• "Spread out and find it." Or possibly evacuate the building?
• Oh, good head butt!
• You have to admire Batman's escape from captivity using only his ability to spit
• I'm not sure how this new suit is supposed to save Lex.
• It's very hard to be dignified when standing in your underpants, but somehow Lex manages it. 
• "You can't think... I just kissed him, you can't blame me for that!"
• We love Hawkgirl's way. 
• It's strange how, despite being the fastest man alive, Flash always arrives at the same time as everyone else
• I wonder where Shade gets his replacement nightsticks from
• They accept grants from convicted criminals?

Part One

• Just a normal day in West Wales...
• How can Metropolis be affected by a tropical storm? It's not in the tropics, and it's in the middle of Kansas. Is Metropolis on the coast? It always seemed very inland to me. 
• Well, he can say that, he was the one sat in the comfortable cab.
• Who climbs a tree in the middle of a hurricane?
• Is that the same blonde mother and child who stared at the advancing Imperium instead of getting the hell out of the way? They're just Darwin Award winners waiting to happen
• I'm sensing Wonder Woman issues.
• "Used to say the planets revolved around me." I'm sure that's not the best attitude to develop in a child.
• Try “I'm sorry for stealing the ancient artifacts.”
• You would think if Wonder Woman waited this long to go back, she could at least wait until the tropical storm crisis was over
• I  adore Diana's litany of possibly excuses. "I was in my room. Alone. For eight months."
• The peril one is good, I definitely think self-righteous is the way to go
• I was shocked enough when I returned home to find they'd built a coffee shop on the high street. It must be tough to find everyone has been turned to stone.
• At least she's more comfortable this time.
• I'd ask for better instructions than that. The Justice League's lack of attention to detail always gets them into trouble.
• What part of him will he need to worry about?
• Isn't this a very strange collection for a Natural History Museum? Our Natural History Museum has pickled fish and cases full of rock, not shelves of Greek artifacts
• Diana has a lot of Gods.
• Mind the artefacts! The curator is going to be so upset when he gets into work.
• That's Superman's criteria for becoming concerned? Destructive behaviour in art galleries?
• Oh, so it's okay to commit crime provided you're doing it for a friend?
• I love that Flash's idea of seduction involves iced mochas. Flash does have a wonderfully persist addiction to coffee
• Says the girl in hotpants and a metal bra...
• He just punched out the giant snake! That was very cool
• I swear Batman arranges thunderstorms just so he can loom out of them in a dramatic manner
• I wonder what would have happened if someone had gone for the piece in the mall alone?
• "Three thousand years..." In which case waiting another day or two shouldn't be too much trouble, should it?

Part Two

• I love the way everyone surreptitiously puts things back on the shelves.

• Nobody *ever* gets thrown out of Universities for having bizarre ideas. Universities are solely there to give a home to those kind of people

• They allowed Diana's mother to live on a tropical island, but Zeus was sent to hell? That seems a little unfair.

• For any prospective mythology students- this is all utter rubbish

• I could do with one of those hourglasses when I'm baking

• Did she stick those pieces together with sellotape?
• Diana's mother is exceptionally rude to the people who just saved her.
• Where did Flash get that sword from? His suit isn't really capable of hiding weaponry.

• Diana's mother is a really ineffectual fighter

• I think I take exception to the fact that Lord Hades is British.
• That 'ultimate knowledge' thing is always a bad idea. The demanding part was probably a mistake too
• “Oh Lord” is Superman's most fearsome phrase. 

• Who is Diana's father?

• Now Flash thinks "Uh oh"? I think we reached "Uh oh" territory long before now

• J'onn has the most wonderfully efficient way of dealing with his enemies

• I hope Hades didn't look like that when Hippolyta was dating him

• I can't help thinking if they'd destroyed the key as soon as they locked the gate the first time, none of this would have happened

• Flash is supremely confident that she's not going to use that.
• Of course Flash would be the only one to wear his wreath.
• And he's wearing it the wrong way round. Look at Flash and his laurel wreath... I bet he wears it round the house when he needs cheering up

Part One

• What's the point of having superpowers if you still have to wear suits in space? Especially J'onn, who comes from a planet with no atmosphere
• They're about to make something much worse happen aren't they?
• I wonder if there were a few absolute disasters until they installed that big, red, flashing ALERT on the computer. There must be an awful lot of teething problems in setting up a Justice League. 
• They all have very big calf muscles.
• Green Lantern wants to stand there pointing fingers. He's that type of person. 
• They have a wonderful array of species on this show, much better than Stargate. Although I expect it's much easier when you don't have to actually make the costumes. 
• I think the Red Lizard People wish they were. 
• Could it beg for mercy? I mean does it actually have a mouth?
• Anyone else would be annoyed by the chains and the dungeons, it takes a giant lizard to annoy Superman.
• They'll be bickering about map reading next. “I told you to turn left at the green planet.” 
• Ah, there's screaming...It must be Hawkgirl.
• I'd be no good as a villain. I'd be the one tagging behind the group as we tried to escape, and I'd give in to torture so easily.
• "I'll talk to you! I'll talk to you!"
• So they don't have to go to work, they just spend all day at a sporting event? It doesn't sound that bad a life.
• I like Mongul's dramatic pause before he says “War World” I always expect him to add "Right after these messages... Don't go away!" And possibly make the 3-2-1 hand gesture.
• Superman's regretting melting that axe.
• I wonder why Mongul chose that round neck, off-the-shoulder purple number. He really doesn't have the shoulders for it.
• That's a very camp pose Mongul's using there

Part Two

• J'onn was so close to having to sit down in embarrassment then.
• It's nice to see that the symbol for 'cuckoo' is truly universal 
• Is he doing that because he's evil or because the bickering is annoying him? I honestly thought he was just doing it to shut them up
• Poor Green Lantern, he was trying so hard and then Hawkgirl was distracted by some bright lights.
• The alien porn magazine is funny. 
• He's not asking that nicely.
• Isn't decommissioning usually a long, complex process? I'm not sure it can be done immediately
• Do you think Superman has a little book of platitudes for occasions such as this? 'Jonathan Kent's Little Book Of Trite Advice' 

Part One

• Or it could just be a random skull.
• Date! Context! Photograph! Record!
• I like the idea of an actor having to sit and do voice-overs with their mouth full. It's so undignified. 
• Flash got whumped in that fight! Dirty little liar
• Note to self: Always give superheroes your phone number. 
• How does Flash get up so high? Does he go so fast gravity misses him?
• Why didn't he just move the people? It seems a lot easier than tornadoing, (and yes, that is a word) all the rubble out the way.
• “Pull over the *other* way.” 
• Oh, Green Lantern is so going to report the paperclip admission to J'onn. (J'onn strikes me as the person responsible for The Watchtower's stationary supplies.) What on earth is Flash stealing paperclips for? He doesn't strike me as a man with an extensive filing needs
• It must be really hard to investigate crime when your partner keeps wandering off in search of food. 
• This is like taking six year olds on a zoo trip, "No, don't touch that! Look just put that down, no you can't eat it."
• A gorilla driving a car is one thing, but it's a bit much to expect one to be able to drive a manual
• When I get a car I'm insuring it for Acts Of Gorilla. Just in case
• It's a gorilla wearing Flash pyjamas! 
• I am seriously worried about Flash's subconscious
• I bet Flash has actually calculated the sugar saturation point of coffee. Can you actually get 37 sugars in a coffee mug? *Trots off to kitchen to hunt for spoons* Okay, you can but only if it's a giant-sized latte mug, and you don't want any coffee. A normal mug only holds 23
• What's the credible flight risk of the fastest man alive?
• They should know by now that Flash is less of a thinking guy, more of a doing guy.
• Justice League Speed Dial hierarchy, I bet that's a touchy subject. "Why is Batman number one? You call me way more than you call him..."
• Where in that lycra does Flash keep his phone?
• Green Lantern's power really is very random isn't it? 
• Green Lantern so wanted Flash to be wrong.
• Geniuses are always obsessed with power, never anything like staplers or something. 
• Okay I know I'm supposed to be suspending my disbelief about Gorilla City, but the thought of one e-mailing is just too bizarre. And somehow that fact he's doing it on a laptop makes it even more strange
• I think that's monkey-speak for “she's behind you” 
• I hate bananas too
• GL didn't hate doing that at all. He's probably been wanting to do it for ages

Part Two

• Flash sounds like this sort of thing happens a lot.
• If WW was sure they'd be something there, why didn't she try to avoid it?
• But Hawkgirl doesn't know any other way. 
• Ah, my mantra for life, “Maybe you just haven't watched *enough*”
• You can't fault Flash's ability to count, can you?
• “Don't heckle the super villain” has to be one of the wisest sayings of all time. They should put it in fortune cookies. Oh, Justice League fortune cookies. That was the line that hooked me, and then just when they'd caught me, they moved to another channel
• This isn't the most rallying speech I've ever heard. If he has them all in his power anyway, why bother making a speech at all?
• How were Flash and the Gorilla supposed to make themselves scarce when Green Lantern just stranded them on an island surrounded by crazed people baying for their blood?
• The Justice League never seem to understand the principle of being held against their will. It generally means there will be some kind of imprisonment. 
• I hope our nuclear weapons are guarded by more than one guy with a gun. 
• Cuffing the wrists of someone who can fly isn't that effective, is it?
• The Justice League aren't really that bright are they? They ran straight into the forcefield on the way in, and they did exactly the same thing on the way out. 
• That doesn't stop him from having committed the crimes
• Ground! Ground!
• I really wouldn't want to fiddle with the wiring on a nuclear weapon. 
• Batman really doesn't deal well with being kissed by a woman.
• I love the "Gorilla of my dreams line", although you have to have a very specific accent to get it to scan properly
• He's out of puns!
• Okay, none of you guys are secretly giant genius gorillas, right?
• Well, except the part of his brain that's pushing the tyre back and forth. 
• Flash wants some kind of badge. “I outsmarted a supergenius and all I got was this stupid lycra suit.”
• They've given Grod a banana! As torture goes, that's particularly cruel

Part One

• I'm still very confused as to which parts of Copperhead are him and which parts are just the costume
• Wow! That was an incredible set of splits from Batman, he's very flexible. 
• Batman must go through so many grapples and batarangs, unless he collects them all from the bodies afterwards. 
• What's Wonder Woman shopping for?
• Oh, you're not telling me Wonder Woman doesn't wear mascara
• I've been known to run away from those make-up people. They may as well be saying “You look very ugly, let me see if we can make you vaguely acceptable to humanity.” They never seem to even bother approaching me. I think I must be a lost cause
• “I don't need a stick.” I think this was the moment I started to idolise Wonder Woman.
• “I managed to fence her valuables though!”
• "Well, okay, never apart from me..."
• What gave Hawkgirl away? Was it the wings or the fact she's not just wearing her underwear?
• Hawkgirl doesn't try a lot of reason. It's an illusory concept for her.
• They just knocked out all the security guards, who's going to be watching the camera feed to pass that message on?
• These minor villains seem incredibly easy to order around
• Well, shoot her!
• Superman looks like he's about to vomit, I'd hold him at arms length if I were you.
• A self-addressed envelope would be far more useful.
• "Ewww! You touched it!" People really shouldn't put their fingers in things they just found on the pavement
• She feared as much, but didn't actually bother to check? 
• They're not proper pirates; there's not a parrot anywhere in sight.
• Amazon can't get books to me, but they can deliver to Themyscira? That's so wrong. Although I suppose if they couldn't deliver to actual Amazons, they'd have a bit of a problem
• Why did she put the gem in there? It can't be an essential ingredient, because she's already made at least some of the poison without it
• Well, they did ask.
• I'm fairly certain Bats can tell you.
• It's man-flu! She's created man-flu!

Part Two

• “Eyes's glassy, non responsive; this guy's fine.”
• Shouldn't Bats be wearing a mask so he doesn't inhale the man-flu?
• I like the way sick superheroes must be stripped only to the waist. And they have to keep their cowls on!
• Hawkgirl has plenty of uses for men.
• Getting rid of all men does seem a bit extreme. Perhaps Auresia could make an allergen that only affects the boorish, idiotic ones. Or she could just target football grounds, which would have much the same effect
• It seems sad that the female Justice Leaguers are as bad at walking into traps as the men.
• Why on earth wasn't J'onn wearing a protective suit?
• This is why it's best to be in charge: So you're not the one ordered to confront Wonder Woman on the wing of an aeroplane.
• Aside from genetic and biological reasons you mean?
• The captain managed to keep his hat!
• This seems a lot like the kind of story they should have told Auresia before now
• Hippolyta's a bit of a self-righteous bitch, isn't she?
• That's the most clunky piece of exposition I've heard in years!
• Superman won't be finished waving for a while yet though.
• Flash is more of a man's man.

Part One

• It's purple and green, I wonder who could be behind that? I think it's admirable that Lex puts colour coordination above being an effective criminal mastermind.
• I always get very confused here, is Lex in the yacht or is he inside the giant robot thing?
• That wasn't J'onn's most effective rescue
• The situation must be bad, Superman said "Good Lord!" For him that's practically unprintable
• I'm not sure that thing Flash does is entirely safe.
• Is the music master MR doing a strange Austrian accent? I thought is was too, but the credits have someone else, which frankly is a shame
• That's a great expression on Flash
• I love that Catman is just a fatter version of Batman.
• GL should make more useful shapes with his ring.
• I don't think they meant quite that at home, Flash.
• Is Turboman supposed to be Captain Atom? Am I supposed to know who Captain Atom is?
• Maybe she fights crime *with* cookies.
• Does anyone believe that's actually GL's uncle's comic collection?
• Flash agrees it does sound corny
• That was an old hero he just made disappear
• Flash vibrates at inter-dimensional frequencies? I have a fantastic ' feeling the earth move' joke but I think we'll get thrown off the server.
• They have a Stargate!
• Why can't they just harness Flash... Okay, that gave me a few mental images that I don't think I need to share
• Go get dessert, Hawkgirl. You don't have to give it to anybody else.
• They have decoder rings! And a ceremony! Do you think the possibility of there being ceremonies is what's keeping Batman from officially joining up with the Justice League?
• I love that they had to remove Batman and Superman from this so the actors could provide the voices for the other characters.
• “You're a credit to your people, son.” This really is a fantastic parody.
• At last, a superhero with historical responsibility.
• How many ice puns can one man make?
• Sportsman didn't put that much thought into his robbery, or effort. How hard can stealing a tennis trophy be?
• His ring has power over people though, he could just grab hold of them
• Accordion playing has that effect on me, too.
• The van full of nuns is a fantastic touch. Nuns and TNT... What are the chances?

Part Two

• Or the fake one could be in the grave.
• I'm sure Hawkgirl should flap more when she takes off
• Oh, poor Flash...
• Technically he should be disqualified. Capturing two superheroes may be impressive, but it's not particularly water-themed
• Really, really big snowcones? 
• Escaping by blimp?
• The Justice Guild spend all their time rescuing each other. Although, so do the Justice League.
• That's a heinous lie. Television is *good* for you.
• Did Catman just leave that kid in a runaway sidecar?
• Hawkgirl's patience is easily tried.
• "Ladies first...  there might be something scary down there..."
• GL remembers the date of the last comic? He is such a geek!
• “Decorative and functional,” as all men should be.
• "They're not the Justice Guild" meaning that rescuing Flash was all the more important
• “Nuns and Dynamite” is now the official expression for when everything suddenly becomes clear.
• That's the second time Flash has been trapped in the floor. What are the chances?
• This is a very sinister ending to a light-hearted episode.
• You were useless again, Flash.
• I'd quite like the psychic ability to mould the world to my choosing. That'd be a power you could actually *use*
• There are worst places you can be stuck: You could be somewhere without ice cream.
• GL is moping in the corner again.
• I'm going to be as devastated when Smallville ends: “But they weren't even real...”

Part One

• ‘When you conquer the castle yourself you annoying little boy.’
• He looks like a man, why isn’t he a man?
• Merlin actually said "Nay"!
• I like it when Batman goes all detective.
• Bats sounds slightly suspicious.
• That’s quite an effective sword.
• I nearly did that by accident at Warwick castle.
• Where is this castle meant to be?
• Jason isn’t a very heroic name.
• Bruce isn't good with concepts like "too many"
• Having a demon to summon at will would be so cool.
• Bats is creepy, but in a comforting way.
• Flash is going to learn to keep his mouth shut soon.
• Oh God, another member of the Justice League with serious, repressed psychological issues.
• It's sad that Flash is probably the most balanced member of the League
• I always find it very distressing when people redecorate while I'm away
• I think I’d choose to stay in the comforting illusion.
• Maybe Morgan has just been watching Time Team.
• Killing the librarian was a serious mistake, they're the only people who know where the books you really need are
• Well it’s only like magic until it returns hundreds of porn sites instead.
• What part of Wonder Woman was Flash clinging too?
• Of course he only reads the articles. Notice how we just assume that because Flash is reading it it must be a porn magazine, they never actually say so
• "Sorry, official world saving business." Flash is so smug about getting to say that
• The guy almost died from shock and they've just propped him in a chair with a mug of tea?
• It must be slightly unsettling for Bruce to meet someone even more morbid than he is, "I'll send flowers."
• Has Bruce got his hand on Jason's ass?

Part Two

• I still love the fact that they leave Bruce's cowl on
• The last thing Bats needs is J’onn bleating on about his self-doubt.
• Wonder Woman is such a flirt
• He's got a point. Money and a few sexy guys would make me happy. And a pony
• Exactly how close a friend?
• I wonder what makes you think "I know, this time I'll go for a giant eyeless worm..."
• Flash called the worm Cecil!
• Flash just threw that woman.
• I try that ‘come to me’ thing with the stapler in my office, but it never works.
• Flash'll run from the battle! He's good at running
• Flash is in a really pissy mood today. I think he's just jealous 'cause Bats is spending so much time with another man
• Can’t they just chain J’onn up for a while. He’s really getting in the way.
• How can the fastest man alive possibly get caught as often as he does.
• J’onn really needs to get laid.
• No one has really had time to count, Flash.
• "Maelstrom" is a big word for Flash
• I think adding "and fast" was rather redundant
• Not as much as Wonder Woman could hurt you.
• I'd be pretty insistent about the castle too
• Sooner or later someone is going to break that stone.
• Bruce is more of an unending wrath kind of guy
• Oooh, I like that chair. I love the idea of trained attack furniture
• Don't touch her! That was unusually stupid for Batman
• I have to say they've animated a surprisingly accurate London
• J'onn is so overly dramatic.

Part One

• He seems very anti-oil for someone in the industry
• If there was the inkling of a thought that the mine shaft would collapse, I certainly wouldn’t be standing up there.
• Some judicious deployment of a canary would have prevented that
• Stagg just has the look of villainy about him.
• Tesco is fully staffed by chemically altered workers; it doesn’t improve their service.
• And by volunteer he means unwilling victim, yes?
• How do people trust such obviously stupid henchmen?
• On Virgin Trains the luggage storage *is* your lap.
• Most stewardesses would smack someone that slimy
• Well, that was predictable.
• Don't trains usually stop when they break down?
• That’s one of my recurring nightmares. Get out of the truck! Idiot
• Where did the track go?
• A unit with less fashion sense.
• Who comes out to greet guests in just a towel?
• Bats has cotton buds in his utility belt! I think I need to start making a list.
• I would have hit him for calling me a "perq", between the flirting with other women and showing his girlfriend off like a trophy, I'm really starting to dislike Mason
• Bats is very conspicuous sitting up there.
• They have a lot of problems with eyebrow continuity on this show.
• I think the "Dad" was a mistake
• If there’s one thing I’ve learned from watching cartoons, it’s that you should never walk into a room with symmetrical markings on the floor.
• Someone passing out at the first sight of you can't be a good sign
• Mason mutated pants!
• Are you allowed to shoot things that are holding up both hands and saying "Help!"?
• The Metropolis PD carry rocket launchers?
• GL does look incredibly shifty in that picture
• "That ought to hold them 'till the police arrive." Has anyone actually called the police?
• "Military applications"? Ya think?

Part Two

•  I love Superman's unflustered approach to fighting
• Being able to morph into a big dragon would never get boring.
• Look at J'onn whisk Batman out of the way!
• If he can morph into water and kryptonite, why can't he just morph into a person?
• Does ever lasting love count if your partner gets turned into morphing goo?
• Little of Column A...
• At -273 degrees, which it wouldn’t be possible to stand anywhere near.
• Won't he just defrost?
• Do garbage workers often carry automatic weapons?
• That didn't go as well as Mason would hope
• Bats has test tubes too
• Batman finds a way to stay out of the fighting again.
• Hawkgirl is keeping a list of those things she shouldn’t hit with an energy mace.
• I thought she'd just learned not to hit it!
• There’s no way Batman could fit the chalkboard in his utility belt.
• Poor Sapphire's having a really bad day, "Daddy?"
• That's going to take months to clean up. They'll have to send Flash out with a bucket and a big mop
• How did Bruce get there?

Part One

• Why are Superman and Hawkgirl still holding the controls?
• Bats had his DVDs out and was all ready for a quiet night in.
• "He's gone..." Well, if J'onn hadn't used his telepathy we'd never have known that...
• Poor Flash, he so nearly hit the nail on the head
• Why do I think pulling that poster down wasn't a good idea?
• Flash fails to pick up on a fairly obvious Nazi metaphor
• More people should try that when asked for I.D. "It's a secret". I want someone to ask me for proof of identity, just so I can try that excuse.
• "Chicks dig that..." Yeah, we really do
• I like the sensible soldier who just backs away from Hawkgirl
• Oooh, armoured!Batman
• I wonder where the hand was...
• Batman is so proud of the fact he scares a lot of people.
• How long have these guys known each other?
• "Orphans and outsiders... creating a place where people can kiss in corridors without fear of recrimination."
• Even Flash should be more sure of the outcome of the Second World War.
• How stupid are these people? It's an unknown lair, a different costume... It just screams 'alternate universe/timeline/dimension'. Flash is right, these guys really don't watch enough movies
• Can you be a disputed dictator of an oppressive regime? If you're being disputed then you're not being nearly oppressive enough
• Stunned silence
• Superman is as evasive as ever. Oh Superman, you little bastard... Don't lie to Bats about his parents!
• "Where are we?" Caen, perhaps?
• It’s nice to see they’re taking the traditional approach to German accents, by replacing all consonants with W, V and Z.
• "Okay, which one of you left the keys in the plane..?"
• There is no way he wouldn’t have been killed in that explosion.
• He’s not a very good spy. He’s just handing out information to random people.
• Frozen Hitler! I don’t know why I find that so funny, but I do. Eeee! Animated!Hitler! He's incredibly freaky
• It’s good to see the troops just sitting around and panicking.
• Don't run away from the monowheels, run to the side!

Part Two

• You’ve got to admire Flash’s loyalty. Flash is very distraught about GL
• Says Flash in the voice of someone who always loses hide and seek.
• That was so nearly an animated Apocalypse Now joke
• I love the Allied music.
• I wonder if Wonder Woman waxes
• Codebreakers are always called Ernst.
• "Come with me." "Hawkgirl, really, now's not the time..."
• I'm very proud of them for including the Occupied Countries pilots
• "Who would have thought the ubermensch would be green... and we were wasting so much time with blonds." I’m fairly certain J’onn isn’t part of the Aryan race. I’m certain there is no Aryan race.
• They underestimated Hitler’s effectiveness.
• Savage's information does rely heavily on the Allies not changing their plans when faced with an entirely different military leader
• I'm sure the interrogator is MR doing a dicky German accent Ha! That’s MR doing a very dodgy German accent and snapping on rubber gloves.
• I get hungry enough after swimming for an hour. After infiltrating a German base, escaping in a stolen plane and nearly dying in a parachute-less plummet to earth I'd be starving
• I’m not sure dangly earrings are wise in a combat zone.
• He's not meant to be distracting her...
• Where has Wonder Woman hidden the transmitter?
• That's all right love, you stay up there and throw trucks around while I hide in this nice big hole"
• I love the sad rattling noise the computer makes.

Part Three

• It's nice to know you can be protected from an all-out Axis attack by a mattress. If only the French had known about the effectiveness of mattresses at withstanding tanks; none of this would’ve happened.
• "You're German?" Because there were no good Germans in WWII at all...
• Flash didn’t bother to find out the German for ‘get out’.
• If that was our office we'd all remain calmly at our desks until someone confirmed that there was a fire. "But it's raining! I'm not going out in that for a drill!"
• Bad cartography or a fake hill... Which seems more likely to you?
• Hmmm, they have the choice between fighting Britain, a country on the brink of collapse, or launching an air attack on a country eight times the size and virtually untouched by the effects of war. They need a new strategist.
• Should they have to intercept messages from their own side?
• Isn't it a bit risky for the Fuhrer to actually go on the mission?
• We're missing the conversation where a young man in skintight red lycra, who has just appeared in the middle of the ocean, tries to explain to US Naval High Command that they need to prepare for a totally unexpected invasion launched from aeroplanes that haven't been invented yet. And I think that's a crying shame
• "The hand-holding isn't a gesture of anything, I'm just frightened of dropping you, okay?" I would’ve hoped Green Lantern and Hawkgirl were squeezing hands enough.
• ‘I know! Naked Hitler will lead us!’
• Hang on, so the Justice League were directly responsible for Hitler?
• I can buy the wormhole having on end in the future and one in 1944, but why does it have one end in Metropolis and one end in France?
• I completely adore that shot of the slightly recalcitrant Bats being hugged by an incredibly enthusiastic Superman. I love Superman’s enthusiastic hug. Batman is going to give everyone a lecture on being overly emotional later.
• The rest of the League share a very knowing look during that hug
