REVIEW:
Working off an inspired script, Justice League Action goes out with a worthy bang. As yet another Booster Gold showcase, this episode is probably the character’s best contribution to the series. Including guest star Dania Ramirez, the voice cast is in top form exploring Booster’s self-involved past, present, and future. Diedrich Bader’s repartee with Ramirez, in particular, is a storytelling gem. The only parental concern might be the amusing depiction of marital strife, but older kids and adults will easily get this innocently-played humor.
The normally chintzy animation, which gives Justice League Action its distinctive web series-like look, corresponds well with this sitcom. Considering its target audience clearly extends past the age 10-and-under crowd, even adult fans should get chuckles out of “She Wore Red Velvet.”
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8½ Stars
Note: This episode is on the Justice League Action: Battles from Beyond! 2-disc DVD set (which collects the series’ second half).
