Starcrossed, Part 1

Hello all you happy people! Today we’re going to start live blogging the DCAU on this site, because Tumblr sucks.

I hope to have all my old Tumblr posts up here soon but for today we’re going to start with Starcrossed, the season finale of the second season of Justice League.

Ah, Kaznia. The DCAU’s favourite punching bag.

I remember when terrorists were the convenient generic bad guy. They might still be; I’ve kind of stopped watching TV

Clark, don’t sass your domme.

No flirting on the job, guys.

John, you old smoothie.

Have you guys never heard of an invisibility cloak?

Plasma moves too fast to dodge

Hawkgirl, this would be a good time to tell the team everything you know

You called it, Supes.

Those kind of look like Apokoliptan ships. I know they’re not, but that’s kind of what they look like.

It’s Hawkman! Sort of.

Gunboat diplomacy at its finest.

The Gordanians are legit bastards in the comics so its possible they’re evil in the DCAU, too. But it’s also possible Evil Hawkman is talking out his cloaca.

Shayera, you two-timing pigeon!

No, no you can’t.

That is… rich coming from you Bruce.

Tough love from the Bat.

The fact that GL doesn’t recognize the Gordanians despite being, you know, Space Cop, is a big red flag.

Kragger, you are a jealous sob

I do. Coincidences happy every day. But I don’t trust coincidences.

Nice little shoutout to the Adam West series there.

Don’t underestimate the locals, pigeon.

Batman ripping his way out of a disguise to reveal himself in full costume is such a bullshit cliche but I love it.

Why are the tanks getting so close to the bypass? The range on an Abrams is like 2.5 km! They should be blasting long before they got into range of the pigeons lightning guns.

Also, guns are mostly analog devices. They don’t have any electronic components that a lightning gun could disable. And American soldiers come equipped with knives and tomahawks and entrenching tools. Disabling their guns would only be step one. And where’s the artillery?

The Thanagarian flight is barely animated.

Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster

Batman created by Bill Finger

Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston.
