All except Green Lantern responded to the call.

He called an emergency meeting, perhaps in hope the League would stop him, at the Watchtower. Nonetheless, despite being an unconventional team, it has the potential to be something special.Īfter Batman was turned into a vampire by Dala, he was unable to suppress the dark hunger within. Only the Question's last minute intervention saved them. The new League's first mission was a near failure when they were almost immediately captured and then defeated by Darkseid.

Martian Manhunter was designated the team's strategist but he also took to bringing the Watchtower back online and fully operational. However, Aquaman was apprehensive after how the previous League ended. While the likes of Blue Beetle, Ice, and Guy Gardner proved themselves worthy of the invitation. Along with Batman, other members of the previous League were brought in: Aquaman, Booster Gold, Fire, and Martian Manhunter. The dynamic immediately established between her and the other characters-especially Robin-is great, so I hope she becomes a frequently recurring character, if not a regular one.Born out of response to an impending invasion of Earth by the armies of Apokolips, a new incarnation of Justice League International was founded by Batman. The story ends up being the same as every other Red Tornado story ever, in that it's basically a Pinocchio story about a toy who wants to be a real boy, but I love that this one explicitly acknowledges that fact.Īlso, this episode introduces Zatanna, who I absolutely love as a teen superhero (much more than I've ever cared for the character before). After cameos from Black Canary, Zatara, and Captain Marvel, the team goes hunting for their errant mentor Red Tornado, who it turns out has been reunited with the android family of Red Torpedo, Red Inferno, and Red Volcano, characters who I'm pretty sure were first introduced in some random Red Tornado miniseries a year or two back, and who in this incarnation have now been tied to the Justice Society and related Golden Age characters. Just as this week's episode of Batman: The Brave & the Bold is that show doing what it does best, this week's episode of Young Justice also does what it does best.
