Justice League
I've started watching this show, and good Lord, is it addicting. I'm in the process of trying to acquire all the episodes for my computer. 'Cause yeah.
I have much love for the Green Lantern, with Flash as a runner-up. The Green Lantern kicks ass and is all tough and yeah. It's hard to describe why I like him so much, but I think it's because while he is extremely tough, he's also got quite the soft side and isn't ashamed of it. Because he doesn't give a flying fuck what anyone else thinks about him.
And Flash just amuses me to no end. Especially how he's the fastest man alive, but it's rather easy for someone to run verbal circles around him. Also, I cannot hear anything of Lex Luthor from Smallville in his voice, which is a testament to Michael Rosenbaum's acting abilities. Then there's the fact that while Flash may occasionally (okay, a lot of the time) do some rather stupid things, he's incapable of being evil. Any of the others, Batman and Superman especially I feel, could potentially cross that line. But not Flash.
So of course, I spend a good part of my time slashing GL and Flash. And yes, "The Brave and the Bold" and "Metamorphosis" are two of my favorite episodes. The first is obvious being very GL- and Flash-centric; in the second, GL spends the episode avoiding every scrap of heterosexuality thrown his way. Which amuses me so very, very much.
Some might argue that the writers are stting up Hawkgirl as GL's love interest, but they seem to be good friends more than anything to me. So that's how I write that off.
One other thing. Here, they say that GL's more complicated ring constructs in "Secret Society" might have been because of fan complaints. And, actually, the more complicated ring constructs bug me. I see the simplicity as part of GL's personality. As in, why expend the energy to make something complicated when something simple will do just as well? No, really. Why should he make a giant monster with nasty teeth when making a giant rake-like object would do the exact same thing and be easier to sustain? So that's my little gripe.
