Notes: In a hallucination sequence, various other Leaguers (i.e. Zatanna Zatara) appear in laughing-only cameos. For whatever reason, data re: official episode numbers and original air dates for this series vary depending upon its source, so such info should really be taken as a best guess.
REVIEW:
Jerry O’Connell’s Atom and Josh Keaton’s Green Lantern make great impressions, as does Darin De Paul’s double-feature as both Sinestro and Despotellis. The fast-paced plot is worthy of a comic book, as its take on Sinestro’s fearsome Yellow Lanterns makes perfect creative sense. Despite the series’ chintzy animation, this episode deserves credit for generating some worthy visuals. This episode isn’t one of Justice League Action’s absolute best, but it’s still well worth catching.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
Note: This episode is on the Justice League Action: Battles from Beyond! 2-disc DVD set (which collects the series’ second half).
