The Hoard Potato makes a note.

I'm watching Justice League Unlimited again, a disc or two each week.

Man, Superman is really surly in this show. He comes off as snarky, sarcastic, and irritable-while Batman seems relaxed and comfortable and cracks a genuine smile now and then.

It's surreal.

Amanda Waller, however, remains the scariest person in the DCU.

Certainly the scariest norm. She beats Lex Luthor hands down.

My vote's still for the Joker as the creepiest recurring villain (almost self-evident) and Earth Mover as the scariest one-shot villain.

It's because Superman's not in Metropolis with his wife, whereas Batman is away from Gotham making googly eyes at Wonder Woman. ;)

I mean, if I was Batman, I'd probably see the time in the League as a kind of pleasant escape from the constant barrage of horror that is Gotham City.

Speaking JLU and Gotham, why doesn't Green Lantern or Dr Fate or anyone else with ineffable powers say, "Batman, let me help you with that Joker problem." or better yet, just take care of it. It would totally be in character for Deadman.

Because 1. Gotham is Batmans' city. Just ask him and 2. he takes care of the Joker himself. There is copious evidence of this. ;)

I'm not sure that Batman's "care" is effective. Has a year gone by without the Joker killing more people? Meanwhile, GL has the moral responsibility and arguably the authority to protect people in the entire sector including Gotham City.

I can see Superman being gripey, as he is not accustomed to asking for help and putting together the League has resulted in the escalation of some other things that he definitely can't handle alone. Instead of being a distant inspiration and role model, he now has to be an authority figure for for his peers.

Maybe Batman's cheerfulness is him continuously singing in his mind, "I have a plan to take you all out!"

[athelind]

Giggling helplessly now.

Nah, I'm fairly sure it's the oogling Wonder Woman.
