Young Justice-Tonight!

^Why think that? Just because Cheshire's toy is posed next to the Ra's toy? No reason that has to suggest any relationship, any more than posing Superboy next to Canary.
 
^ Why quickly dismiss it either? :)

I'm simply saying there's no basis for that conjecture.


As for the members of the Light, the voices credited thus far include Miguel Ferrer as "L-1," Oded Fehr as "L-2," and Mark Rolston as "L-3." One of them, probably L-3, spoke with a French accent and had a rather blocky appearance -- the Brain, perhaps? (Although it's Monsieur Mallah who speaks with a French accent, but maybe they figured they both do?) I wouldn't be surprised if Fehr were playing Ra's al Ghul.
 
I know what you were implying but given "Young Justice" is an alternate reality or different continuity where basically anything is possible I was pointing that Guy's comments regarding Chesire being merged with Talia is absolutely possible if highly unlikely. I was playing around with you lol.
 
if David Warner isn't doing Ra's voice i'll be sad, though Oded Fehr would be a fair substitute.

Well, Ra's has been played by Peter Woodward in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Jason Isaacs in Batman: Under the Red Hood, and of course Liam Neeson.

As for David Warner, he apparently operates out of England these days; he's had a career renaissance on the stage there, and his TV/film work in recent years has been in British productions. He doesn't appear to have done any US voice work since 2003.

I hope they get someone good to play him. I gather Mark Hamill's "retired" from the role except in the video games, and it's a different continuity anyway. Hmm, since they've brought back Under the Red Hood's Bruce Greenwood as Batman, I wonder if they'd cast John DiMaggio as the Joker. Probably not, I guess. But it's tempting to wonder if UtRH could potentially be in the future of this series' universe.
 
"Denial" was all right. Another hackneyed "I don't believe in magic" plot. But I did like the actor who did Kent Nelson's voice.

It would be interesting for the "Young Justice" world to evolve to the gritty "Red hood" world.
 
"Denial" was okay, but I'm not a fan of stories that portray science as a closed-minded dogma denying the "obvious" reality of the supernatural. That's bull. Science is about describing and codifying that which can be observed, measured, and verified. In a universe where magic was provably real, science would expand to encompass it. Case in point: 150 years ago, science had no inkling of quantum physics, and scientists of the day would've dismissed it as fantasy. But since it was real, science eventually proved its existence and codified it, and now quantum physics is the foundation of modern science. By the same token, in a universe where magic really existed, it would be part of the laws of that universe and science could expand to include it -- and indeed would have to, because scientific hypotheses that conflict with the evidence don't survive in the long run.

Now, I could buy a story wherein a character like Wally misunderstood how science was supposed to work and used it as an excuse for dogmatism, but I would've liked it if someone such as M'gann or Kaldur had said something to Wally like what I said above -- that science isn't about dogmatism, it's about observing and understanding everything that actually exists, and if magic exists, then it's part of the laws of the universe and science can accept and encompass it. Just once I'd like to see a TV show that has a clue how the scientific method actually works rather than treating it as just another closed-minded dogma.

Aside from that, though, it was okay. Interesting that they're treating the Justice Society as something from generations past, the '40s, and taking a "real time" approach to it. I hope they keep it that way, that if the JSA is referenced again, it's as a historical group whose members are all elderly or dead, rather than messing with sliding timescales and youth drugs and immortality and other handwaves.

The scenes with Klarion and Abra Kadabra holding Kent Nelson hostage was a Gargoyles mini-reunion. You had Ed Asner (Hudson) as Kent, Jeff Bennett (Brooklyn) as Kadabra, and Thom Adcox Hernandez (Lexington) as Klarion. Can't say I liked Hernandez in the role, though. Also, Bennett plays Kadabra on Batman: The Brave and the Bold as well, which makes that the first case of the same actor playing the same role in both the YJ and BBB universes.
 
Thanks for the info. Ed Asner is just plain fantastic in whatever voice characterization he does.

EDIT:

Been checking IMDB.com. How could I have missed that? Granny Goodness! :lol: I thought he was hilarious on The Boondocks, and I really liked him on an episode of The X-Files opposite Lily Tomlin.
 
The impression I got from the episode regarding science is that it cannot explain everything, nor can it be, by itself, a philosophy to live by. That said, I don't think it's an either/or situation. Science and the supernatural can easily co-exist and both can edify. (I don't believe in magic, by the way; I'm assuming that "magic" was intended by the writers as a stand in for the supernatural in general).
 
Is there any reason the action figures appear to come in two different sizes?

Well, I gathered that one size is so if you collect Mattels JLU line of toys, you can have YJ/JLU adventures. But, if you prefer the DC Classics line of larger figures, they have a set for you too.

FWIW: I liked the episode, but not the way they voiced Klarion. I guess from his apprences in the comics over the last few years, I expected less petulance, I guess.
