@Victorblud Look up phoenix jones.

[BKL8008]

I was waiting for the little boy with glasses to pull out a magic wand and start casting spells.

[thegeekfanatic]

The dude who said Vigilante is a bad example was the one who made JLU use lasers instead of bullets

[rcatstott]

shining knight is amazing!!

[Fanny1234ish]

who is the knight with the flying horse ?

[LunaHeartnet]

@Fanny1234ish That would be Shining Knight.

[Fanny1234ish]

kk thnx :)

[1gameboy321]

this is one of my favorite episodes

[kon34100]

can anybody tell me where da hell that crimson guy was in all this

[elmsndealejo]

how many dc heroes are dressed with the american flag?

[superblahmanofdoom]

@elmsndealejo A few have the Red White and Blue in some form or another.

[duckslapper12]

@elmsndealejo At least 4

[TheTuberguy1000]

[TheTuberguy1000]

[TheTuberguy1000]

@etienne2151 sur egive him a shard of krptonite hed kick supermans ass like i said even i can kick his ass gimme a krptonite and i can hug superman to death

[LivesForJihad]

Moral of the story: Everyone except the original 7 Justice League guys suck.

[Gnorcteen1]

old lady reminded me of rosa parks... *salutes the sky*

[Zeruckiven]

In the last episode, the big guy (sry, dnt know his name) was sounding a TON like Genobee from Armored Core enxus. Anyone agree?

[PenultimateBadass]

"You wanted Superman? Well now you've got... the Crimson Avenger, and my ex sidekick".

[zerocalvin]

so in DC, the super soldier serum turn you into the hulk....

[KasirRham]

@zerocalvin yep the super soldier serium turns you into hulk, the gamma bomb project turns you into dr. manhattain, and everyone is as powerful as captain america at birth. Is that overpowered? Just a little

[larukulunaseas]

worst "heroes" ever

[englishtwister]

WHO is the "white" Iron Man

[MandibleMuge]

@englishtwister S.T.R.I.P.E, crimefighting partner to Stargirl. Stargirl and S.T.R.I.P.E, get it?

[blackdemonknight]

@MandibleMuge Stargirl is also S.T.R.I.P.E's daughter.

[MandibleMuge]

@blackdemonknight Indeed, should have mentioned that.

[englishtwister]

@MandibleMuge Oh I see. well thanks for answering so quickly.

[MandibleMuge]

@englishtwister No probs :D

[jinzolord5000]

In my opinion this episode wants to show us that the ones with super powers arent the only ones that can be heroes. What makes a hero is the courage to stand in front of the bad guys and do the right thing for those who love and for all the people who need your help.

[playadelrey100]

@jinzolord5000 i bet if batman saw this and he prolly was in the background, truth be told he was clapping at the end of this.

[TheWaffle106]

How many Marvel ripoffs can you find in this episode?

#1. World War 2 super serum. Honestly I thought this was going to be Captain America.

#2. The Hulk... clone?

#3. That one hero sure looks like Iron Man

#4. The general really reminds me of the General from the Hulk

[urs4ever86]

@TheWaffle106 there isn't much options when it comes to super heroes or villains, there are many ideas that are congruent between DC and marvel. WW2 experiments is widely covered in comics, and serums are one of the many arbitrary ways to create a superhero/villain. Solomon grundy is also a Hulk "clone" but actually grundy first appeared in 1944 and the Hulk in 1962, but still you can't call it a "clone". and there wil always be someone in a hi-tech suit, just like an evil general

[weldonwin]

@TheWaffle106 Actually, the armour guy looks my like Big Guy

[playadelrey100]

@TheWaffle106 Marvel borrows from DC and vice versa. and the real hulk in the dc universe would be doomsday.

[Kawagata]

@TheWaffle106 Oh you... Marvel and DC have alot of heroes in common. Some of which were first from DC, and others first from Marvel. When both companies have a hundred heroes each, there's bound to be overlaps.

[Scyllax]

After 60 years, the formula hadn't expired?

[Scyllax]

He's like the original Hulk who was grey, not green, and his powers were described as those of the original Superman in Action Comics, but that comic book was in color.

[crabbieappleton]

Looking back, I find a lot of Red Hulk in this storyline. Or, rather, I find a lot of this storyline in Red Hulk.

[Veren10000]

so nice of alucard to return her staff

[iWANsweet]

HAVE AT THEE!!!

[JWA8402]

Few things struck me bout this episode. I can't believe the voice on that monster... How did Marvel let them get away with ripping off iron man like that? This has to be the most anti-climactic morally flagellating battle I've seen in awhile...I think this is the first episode where I actually had any idea who the cowboy and knight were!

[SerpentVX]

I would ask where Batman is in this episode but for 2 reasons:

1) It's nice to get several low-card heroes out

2) Batman's superpower is not having a superpower so he doesn't count

[rjlolatte1]

am I the only one who saw "CAPTAIN NAZI" at the beginning of part one?

[RobinRavenSky]

Am I the only one who things Vigilante and the Shining Knight are criminally underused?

[nawstra578]

any continuation to this story liek wht happens to the superpowered general?

[DCRaider2011]

@nawstra578 Nope, no continuation, so who knows?

[Bigalinbklyn83]

Who was the iron man looking guy.

[abraman12]

@Bigalinbklyn83 S.T.R.I.P.E. look it up

[alecr17]

"i'll kill the normal heroes with my new superpowers to protect america from people with superpowers." ah, good old american backwards patriotism.

[dcbandnerd]

@alecr17 More like insane neo-conservatism; but I hear ya.

[mosballa91]

@alecr17 LOVE YOUR CUNTRY

[steve9893]

sir justin is a pimp

[LongClawzHidden]

A war debate? Really?

[dragonman14x]

@LongClawzHidden I agree with you, Its silly to have a war debate here. This is a Justice league cartoon, not a war coverage story.

[BlueKeyNotesTen]

Bitch ass general was lucky batman wasn't there.

[zoldator]

one question, where the fuck was that WW2 super spy guy when JL were fighting Savage?

[CountDVB]

@zoldator Dead or retired probably. Where is spymaster?

[jamauln1]

Damn, I miss this show.

[HologramWOLF]

This was one of my favorite episodes because not only did it pay homeage to those heros without superpowers (and the lesser well known justice league members) but it showed that you DON'T need superpowers to be a true hero. :')

[PassOnTheChannelName]

YES old black lady saved the day!

[trillination]

i have never seen so many marvel references. The Hulk, General Thunderbolt Ross, Thor, Hawkeye(i know thats pushing it since green arrow is more cooler") , Ironman.

[RebelsToSociety]

well fuck you kid im batman :)

[Brittonsp]

Anyone else notice that Vigilante is voiced by Nathan Fillion from Firefly, Serenity, and Castle, as well as other things?

[vmen]

@Brittonsp in Hunter's Moon, Vigilante is teamed with Vixen, who is voiced by Gina Torres.

[Tungchu92]

Lol voice actor is J Jonah Jameson



[Xerock]

Eiling is the embodiment of the NDAA

[moonlightdragonrider]

Is that project Blockbuster or something.

[PokeDigiSonic]

So....did I just watch what seemed like war machine vs the hulk earlier on?

[trillination]

@PokeDigiSonic lmao. i thought i saw thor vs hulk except thor had a sword. "have at thee"

[wintmanj]

general eling vs. red hulk. nuff said

[TheUnknown3399]

I think because Batman is batman and because he's not a full time leaguer is why he wasn't in this.

OMG I totally agree why did they wait 'til the supers were almost dead before saying anything? ( :51 part 3 )

[bombermanp978]

@TheUnknown3399

not going to lie if batman was helping the heroes the general would be totally fucked... bat man has beat the likes of clayface, soloman grundy, bane, ivy and mr freeze, hell the was the only person who dodged the omega beam. compared to those odds, Eling is just another foe to bats

[Parkjisung91]

hey, mr.Mcgii was at that parade

[Headbiter]

0:51 "No need to thank me son. I just watched you and the other guys getting pummeld to death for half an hour before stating what everybody else already did before."

[luv2run6795]

SO FUCKING GOOD

[thejohhny69]

hahaha so some friends of superman gets beaten after all and they used the ambulance car for first aid kit

[Tiercel5]

@thejohhny69 - it only shows that even superheroes get beaten badly every once in a while. Even Batman gets the same treatment if he would be beaten up as badly as these guys. Superman actually died once against Apocalypse who had actually beaten up other superheroes in his way.

The Justice League and other heroes like them know that they are not invincible, just tough.

[joshua51814]

The granmother reminds me of boondook

[commandershadebetter]

@joshua51814 I am pretty sure any black person reminds you of the Boondocks my simple minded friend

[darlagoddesshate]

What I love is the fact that all these great heroes are so overlooked, yet despite their power or lack thereof, they keep fighting. They give hope and demonstrate courage that surpasses Superman, and take risks beyond Hawkgirl, and do their best even when they are not as smart or stealthy as Batman

[ss6truks]

Batman's superpower = Money, the greatest power of all xD

[mannymatrixofwar2]

If Batman was there, the general would have surrendered before the mass chaos and destruction would happen.

[ace94d]

"Alright, I've become what I hate, I'll give you that." - Did anyone else find this line really amusing?

[DragcoDavid]

@ace94d Truely. I rather enjoy the Irony... especially that they pointed it out to him. The "Monster" is canonly known as the Shaggy Man, by the way. This happens in the comics too. As far as I can tell, he's like General Ross as the Hulk 24/7

[maxalberto1]

does the general ever returned?? in other episode??

[Archedgar]

The comments about Bruce Wayne are wrong.

He DOES have a superpower, it's called being The Goddamn Batman.

[aoinatafanboy84]

@Archedgar Plus he was Crimson Avenger.

[prinny081]

JK Simmons nailed that role!

[scalloch]

kind of like captain america gone wrong

[codafett]

@scalloch Completely Wrong.

[Quartzzzz]

I have to agree with him though. Those no name superheroes really are nothing compared to the ones with actual superpowers, i.e Superman, Green Lantern, Flash etc. If the Justice League ever decided to turn on the people they're supposed to protect, then nothing could stop them.

[nightschoolweirnfan]

@Quartzzzz umm batman lex luthor senestro anyone with a yellow shirt lined with kryptonite flash idk hes stoppable just dont know what it would be

[Quartzzzz]

@nightschoolweirnfan Superman could simply toss Luthor into the sun or destory the entire planet he's on. Same goes for Batman. Sinestro is a super powered being. The point is that if the JL ever decided to go evil, nothing would stop them. Superman alone can destory entire planets.

[nightschoolweirnfan]

@Quartzzzz what about umm that nuke suit guy mesomorph most def he turned his hand into kryptonite yeah they would decimate but there are heros just stronger than them so if they can kill them then they win plus you have amazo and marvel and doomsday. superman yes he can destroy planets but he wouldnt go far a lot of things can kill him

[sadlobster1]

@Quartzzzz This episode shows that real heroes don't necessarily need superpowers to defend others. All it really takes is an iron will, great levels of endurance and a noble heart

[Quartzzzz]

@sadlobster1 All I saw was a super powered being beating all the non powered heroes to a pulp. Had he been truly evil, he would have killed them all along with the civilians. The only reason Eiling didn't finish the Shining Knight and all the rest was because he accepted that he was a hypocrite. Ironically, Eilings point was still proven - you need superpowers in order to take on a superpowered being and win.

[Quartzzzz]

@sadlobster1 The ''heroes'' here failed. They failed to defend others. Why? Like Eiling said, they're just people along with the rest of the civies.

[sadlobster1]

@Quartzzzz I actually think they've (mostly Shining Knight) actually succeeded here. At least, in a symbolic sense.

During the parade, the people seemed interested to see only Superman. But because of Eiling's douchebaggery, the Seven Soldiers risking themselves to save everyone and Shining Knight refusing to give into defeat (even after receiving several injuries;) they saw just how capable non-superpowered heroes can be

[SadLittleTurkey]

@Quartzzzz Keep in mind though he just randomly popped out of the sky and assaulted them out of nowhere. It was harder for them because they had to see to evacuating the area and all that but more importantly the guy with the sword which already did successful cut him was busy half the time and by the time he was helping everyone else was KO'd. All in all I agree with captianbrazil, if batman WAS there they probably could have won

[milontua]

that knight dude took serious punishement.

[TGSM19]

Your the only one with super powers here, fucking diss. I would twist my own neck after hearing the kid saying that ... he got owned big time there.

[Twilightfreak2800]

Shining knight is really cute...

[Kuramalover86]

Shining Knight....my favorite non-superpower hero! Well next to Batman of course.

[trollkiller13]

Can some one pls tell me what the fuck vigilante's power is?

[helixmaster9]

@trollkiller13 nothing

[CurtStyles]

@trollkiller13 gun power

[bubblegum0monkeygurl]

@trollkiller13 time travel and good luck? how'd he get to the present anyway?

[ElectricEdgewave192]

@bubblegum0monkeygurl agelessness?

[Daniel4646]

Wish Eiling could have gotten his comeuppance in another episode.

[scottsommers07]

why don't they recruit Son Gokou? he can't die anymore.

[gorrillacolt]

so was that kid in the red suppose to b billy bastion?

[TheWorstWarlock]

@gorrillacolt No, it's not Billy, it's John Gabrielli, aka Gabby.

[empizzle8]

Awesome. Thanks for upoad.

[dudebladeX]

who's the dude in the armored suit?

[firered7435]

@dudebladeX Stargirl's dad i don't know his name

[NukeA6]

@dudebladeX

S.T.R.I.P.E.

I don't know what those letters stand for but that's at least the name of the armor.

[RonaldBarone]

I get the monster's point. They are not americans, they dont pay taxes, they have super powers and do whatever they can. Only few are real citizens, but even then, when was the last time green lantern filed his income tax? With all that powers, have you ever saw an any episode of anyone building houses for the poor? Have you ever saw wonder woman on any breast cancer campaign? where are there green cards?

[southoreast]

@RonaldBarone Don't forget that this guy was demoted in his career with Cadmus so he felt a bit insignificant. Plus if you ask me, he was a bit of a overly patriotic war monger who felt threatened by the Justice League because of special treatment they got from the President like being able to have a base on Earth. That was no reason for him to take the law into his own hands the way he did. Oh, and how do you know they don't contribute to society?

[MandibleMuge]

@RonaldBarone Ordinary people can build houses for the power and work on charity campaigns. What ordinary people can't do is stop Darkseid from blowing up the universe. Efficient and appropriate distribution of resources, it's only logical.

[MrKguy97]

@RonaldBarone I like the idea of wonder woman and breast cancer campaign xD

[Azraelseraphim]

@RonaldBarone I know a cartoon that you might like. Its called Harold The Accountant.

[RonaldBarone]

@Azraelseraphim I never heard about that one. sorry.

[TheThreeHeadedDragon]

@RonaldBarone Most of the members of the Justice League are American citizens and pay their taxes but they don't show that part. There was also an episode where Wonder Woman was petitioning the world's leaders to convert to green energy sources to stop global warming.

[RonaldBarone]

@TheThreeHeadedDragon How do you know they are all American citizens? Where is superman's green card? Do you have the last The Martian man tax return?

[TheThreeHeadedDragon]

@RonaldBarone Wally West, Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen, Vic Sage, John Stewart, and J'onn Jones are just a few examples of characters whose secret identities are American citizens. Most of them are goody two-shoes so they probably do their taxes.

[Brittonsp]

They really scraped the bottom of the barrel for this show. Seriously, it's like the Justice League let's just about any nutjob with a costume join..

[sweetpromise4real]

cute kid: fiiine...im vigilante he's waay Cooler ;)

YEAH HE IS!! BOOYAH!

[OyeMiVoz]

I love how this episode is kind of an allegory to the real Patriot Act. This episode says a lot

[friendlycakeasaurus]

this episode was a microcosm of why this show was so great. it made even the less popular heroes seem totally awesome. see the Booster Gold episode, characters like The Question, Hawkgirl and Hawkman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Huntress, Zatanna, Vixen, etc the list goes on, they really did a great job of taking the less popular heroes and making them either more badass or just more interesting

[JJtronlady]

hurrah for the seven soldiers of victory!!!!!

[MsDragonChild]

it is for this reason that I love shining knight.

[CPDawsonRohoblance18]

my fave parts in this episode are: 1) Vigilante screaming 'YEEEEEWHOOOOO!' and two, saving da little kid. HANG ON LIL FELLER

[sweetpromise4real]

@CPDawsonRohoblance18 "LIL FELLER" i heart vigilante

[2010dragonprincess]

I think this is my favorite episode. you don't need powers to be powerful.

[AudioVideoDisco06]

Topical political commentary! Woo!

[blakecauchy]

And superman show up and the monster piss himself

[captianbrazil]

if only Batman was there

[aoinatafanboy84]

@captianbrazil He was actually, Crimson Avenger is credited as Kevin Conroy.

[BlueKeyNotesTen]

@captianbrazil If he were there, the Justice League would've won and the general wouldn't have learned his lesson. He'd have become a full time supervillain because of his hurt ego.

[TheRiderman7]

shinng knight is so ballsy

[squaredeal1006]

Nice.

[TomboTime]

Ever notice how similer this episode is to Marvel? i mean just hear me out:

Stargirl's costume is patriotic, like Captain America

The bad guy in this episode was like the Hulk

STRYFE is like Iron Man

the whole idea of a country's government being AGAINST heroes rather than being with them is kind of like marvel

anyone see this?

[alien2906]

@TomboTime Yup! I hear you there!

That's how it always has been DC get's smilarities form/with Marvel, Marvel get's em' from/with DC

That's what makes their rivalery...

[TomboTime]

@alien2906 case in point:

Deathstroke and Deadpool

they are SOOO similer in fact that people wonder if they are the same people, just from different dimensions.

[alucardXlll]

@TomboTime please dont bring marvel talk to a DC show, respect man.

[TomboTime]

@alucardXlll respect?? i respect both companies perfectly well. DC for creating the superhero industry and Marvel for revolutionizing it.

[jessisnacorn]

I couldn't help but smile at the end of this episode. So cute :3

[AllAksion]

Cool episode. see i like regular heroes too. Like how Batman goes up against super power villains - so do these so called b-list heroes with no powers. They risk their lives just like superman and the others do and do it the best they can.

Also the General is an idiot - he protects by possibly killing anyone who needs protecting - a few eggs for the omlet of freedom is BS!

[sadlobster1]

@AllAksion The General kind of reminded me of Col. Jessup from A Few Good Men. Both men have committed heinous acts simply because they felt they were doing it for the good of the military corp. or the country.

I myself feel that the safety and well-being of the people are far more important than power, wealth and military strength. It's SIr Justin and citizens like the elderly woman who protected him who show me what being a hero TRULY means

[benjieweiss]

why was the hulk in this episode?

[cowsfromspace]

Um why didn't anyone think to get Amazo I mean cmon the guy gets almost no work, if that many members are out on the job you know amazo has nothing to do with it because he could easily do their job so my question is why didn't anyone get Amazo

[Citrakite]

@cowsfromspace A Super slug fest wasn't really the point of the story. It was the Irony of a metahuman beating the crap out of 'normal' people when his stated goal is to protect normal people from Metahumans. He lost sight of what he set out do and became the threat himself.

[HeroOfLights]

@cowsfromspace He's still trying to come up with a way to beat Solomon Grundy.

[PeoplesGeneral]

@cowsfromspace Considering that Amazo knocked out the entire Justice League, swatted the Green Lantern Corps like flies, shifted an entire planet of Oa into another dimension just because it was in his path... I really doubt that General would've lasted even a second against Amazo. I doubt there would be a fight at all...

His beef is with Metahumans, not God-like beings...

[SteelandSouls15]

Super strength and near invincibility is NOT worth becoming that uglehhhhh

[Ko252]

@SteelandSouls15 I look like him, so thank you for calling me ugly.

[BlazerS312]

Where's Question when you need him?

[number3665]

@BlazerS312 Bumping uglies with Huntress

[TheSaerwen]

Shining knight is cute without his helmet

[AidansVlog]

nice little shout out to the b listers, probs what makes DC when it comes to the cartoon game a whole lot better, i just wish they could do what marvel is doing with their cinematic universe, great batman films aren't enough

[MissAlliKatt]

That old lady is just the sweetest!!!!

And Vigilante, Shining Knight and Green Arrow are awesome!!!

[blackcanary620]

omg lol speedy of tt is in there XDgotta missed him though XD

[theanicoma]

@blackcanary620

He's also in Young Justice! ^.^

Thought you might like to know that, sounds like you didn't.... oh, if you haven't heard of young justice you should go look it up. I'm waiting on the second season.

[freyahaz]

@theanicoma has episode eleven come out yet?

[theanicoma]

@freyahaz

Nope. Sorry. Wiki says we gotta wait for somewhere in the first quarter of 2012 for that to happen.

[freyahaz]

@theanicoma thanks
