REVIEW:
A fun script showcasing Wonder Woman’s heroics is further bolstered by great comedy banter between Green Arrow and Athena. Voice actors Jessica Walter and Chris Diamantopoulos deliver spot-on performances, but Rachel Kimsey’s congenial Wonder Woman deserves the episode’s MVP honors.
The usually chintzy animation, which gives Justice League Action its distinctive web series-like look, looks pretty good this time when paired with this comic book-worthy script. Considering the target audience is the undemanding age 10-and-under crowd, even adult fans should appreciate this comedic Justice League adventure.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
Note: This episode is on the Justice League Action: Superpowers United! 2-disc DVD set (which collects the first half of the series).
