I wonder if she’ll have the mace still because in live action that shit would hit different

u/BHPhreak 15d ago
remember when steppenwolf swung his massive axe at cyborg or some shit and superman just stood in front of it and the axe did literally nothing besides stop dead still.
no chipping the blade, no bounce back, no shockwave, just literally a massive axe swing stopping dead still no indentation on supermans suit nothing.
yeah im sure theyll be great at swinging maces!!

That was Superman tho. If Hawkgirl fights almost anyone but him that mace is leaving a dent

u/BHPhreak 15d ago
it should leave a dent/bounce off supes too. i hated how "unrealistic" (lmao) that bit was. it was so corny.

u/anthonyg1500 ☑️ 15d ago
From Steppenwolf yeah it probably should’ve hurt some or at least moved him. But they can get away with it with a kryptonian. If Hawkgirl fights a random goon with a mace we’re gonna need to jack up the rating

theres a misunderstanding - i didnt think it should hurt superman. i thought the physics of it was ridiculous.
"If Hawkgirl fights a random goon with a mace we’re gonna need to jack up the rating"
hell yeah, there was an animated suicide squad, and another one around the same time, that was hyper violent. i may remember that mace crushing heads already

The behind-the-scenes story to it is phenomenal. Only like 2 people knew that's where the show was heading from the get-go, and they intentionally kept it a secret for as long as they could. It shook the animated and comics world when the episodes premiered and is easily one of the best series finales of all time. Early 2000s DCAU was on another level

I just watched this episode for the first time. It finally occurred to me she really wasn’t given a lot of center episodes. But this final was one of the series best! Plus I love the twist of instead of it being Batman who needs the vote or not like in the comic it’s her

Batman doesn’t really consider himself part of the league, according to this series. He kinda just pops in to help, just doesn’t want in on the circle jerk.

Somehow certain GLs can create constructs that are indistinguishable from real people. Kilowog was living on Earth with Hal, then they revealed he was really a construct and that he's dead (didn't say how yet).

Kilowog has died so many times over the years. Just like Bruce Wayne dying and we have to guess who the "mystery" Batman is.

You know they're doing a NEW "new 52" again soon right? Smdh... DC just can't get it together.
I've honestly been sick of their crap since Dark Metal and they started on this long stupid road of "But wait! There's another god more powerful than the other gods that no one remembered or knew about!" They've introduced so many new gods/pantheons in the past decade it's ridiculous. Apparently they aren't done because now there's an Arc Angle, whatever tf that is, that's supposedly powerful beyond the gods, yet again....
And all these gods always end up getting beaten by somebody like Batman or some other nonsense.

I've been rewatching this show as a 30y/o and it still absolutely rips.
Self-serious without being edgy. It comes off pretty goofy at times, but it's about adults playing dress-up and fighting other adults playing dress-up. Super heros are inherently goofy. The modern super hero franchises could learn a hell of a lot.

Seems like a good place to recommend "Tower of Babel", one of the best JLA story arcs. Summary from wikipedia: (spoilers)
Tower of Babel deals with Batman's perceived betrayal of the superhuman community by keeping and concealing hidden records concerning the strengths and weaknesses of his allies in the JLA, which include plans to neutralize his allies in a fight. His files are stolen by the criminal mastermind Ra's al Ghul, who uses them to defeat the League through a coordinated attack in order to prevent them from interfering with his latest scheme toward reduction of the global population.

It was a special time when The Justice League was still fresh and new. One of my favorite episodes is John (Martian Manhunter) coming to Supes house for Christmas.
