JUSTICE LEAGUE - STARCROSSED
Again, they have played around with the
canon of the JLA, and some of the changes
are not necessarily for the better!! Dropping
Hawkman as an original member was bad
enough, but now, making him an asshole
has not just stepped over a line, it's totally
destroying it!! All this being said, this is
actually very good, just hard to watch
a legend get destroyed(kind of like what
they did with Star Trek!!!!)!!! B+
From an IMDb.com customer
Originally broadcast as a three-part episode
that concluded the second season of the
Justice League animated series, Starcrossed:
The Movie offers not only an exciting
adventure for the collected DC Comics
superheroes, but a major shakeup within
the JL lineup that changed the series'
subsequent seasons. Hawkgirl and her
relationship with John Stewart/Green
Lantern is the focus of the feature, in
which the alien heroine is forced to
choose between her human love and
her responsibility to her home planet
when an invasion force is dispatched
to Earth, and her Justice League
partners--Superman, Batman, Wonder
Woman, Martian Manhunter and the
Flash--must stop it. A solid 68
minutes of animated action for fans
of the original comic books and the
series, which subsequently changed
its title to Justice League Unlimited
and introduced other DC characters
to the JL lineup after these episodes
were aired. The Warner Bros. DVD offers
several supplemental features, including
cast and filmmaker interviews. --Paul Gaita
