The penultimate episode of Justice League Unlimited was just swell: Lex Luthor and Gorilla Grodd debate leadership philosophies while their Injustice Society goes to war with itself (like they always do) with nary a superhero in sight. The voice casting is brilliant: Clancy Brown, Powers Boothe, Juliet (Druscilla) Landau, Daniel Dae Kim and Michael Ironside; and as always it's fun watching classic archetypes (classic archetypes if you grew up in the 70's) spout sharp quasi Tarrantino dialogue. It's fun stuff and it's a shame it ends next week with a super duper super hero super villain cosmic evil space god blowout.

The real question now is whether the run of stellar DC Comics cartoons that began almost 20 years ago with Batman The Animated Series is coming to an end. It'd be a sad day indeed if that's the case. Hopefully they'll do The Legion of Superheroes next...
