Polite Dissent

The Batman was a the only new run super-hero cartoon today. “The Big Heat” featured Firefly as the villain. It was a decent episode — nothing special, but certainly watchable. Having Adam West provide the voice for the mayor of Gotham City was a nice touch. (And a hint to the writers/artists: infrared shows heat sources, not ultraviolet).

The Teen Titans, “Haunted”, was a repeat episode. Robin is having hallucinations (or is he?) that Slade is still alive. A so-so episode, only saved by the last minute reveal.

“The Greatest Story Never Told” was on Justice League Umlimited this evening. It’s a repeat, but definitely worth watching. The JLU does a good job of combining humor with story and action, as shown by this episode (the second best so far) and “This Little Piggy”, the best one so far. Lots of good lines and inside jokes in this episode. Here’s my original review.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to watch Full Metal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
