Justice League: The Animated Series Guide

Summary: Once interesting show went down the toilet.....
Review: This pre-StarCrossed JLA book contained information and notes on the seven main characters; Superman,Batman, Wonder-Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, the Martian Manhunter, and Hawkgirl (before she was ruined by that dredful episode already mentioned). If you stay with the idea that these were seven charecters who pretty much lived in the Watchtower all the time and watched over the Earth with a degree of dedication and sense of justice, then this book was a great Silver age homage to the silver age JLA books, NOT THE RETRO MTV GARBAGE show that replaced it.

Summary: Great fun, but a few more pages would have been great
Review: Jason Hall's Visual Guidebook to the animated Justice League is colorful and fun. Tykes should like it. Like all the DK books, great care has been taken in chosing the captions and accompanying text.

It's a great way to introduce the younger readers to the world of the Justice League, though I would have waited a few years until the Justice League Unlimited run had been completed, so the book had a great amount of stories to draw fun. It also goes the extra mile with some pages on Aquaman, the Atom, and Adam Strange.

A few flaws for the completist out there. The info on Hawkgirl is somewhat inaccurate after the revelations in the second season finale, "Starcrossed," the panals are mostly taken from the comics rather than the animated series, and some "fun" pages like a detailed blueprint of what goes where in the Watchtower might have given the little ones a bit more material to chew on.
Again, some material on other characters such as Metamorpho, Darksaid, Dr. Fate, would have been great.

Still, it's fun for what it is. Hopefully DK will produce a few more of these in the years to come.
