Justice League Unlimited - Season 5

I just got all the episodes of Season 5 via bit torrent, and it is very sad that this series is ending. The show is nothing short of spectacular.

Anyway, for our purposes, the best one is probably episode #10 entitled Far From Home. Supergirl travels into the future and has to lay the smack down on the entire Legion of Super Heroes. Easily the most action that Kara has had in the entire run of the show.

Another good one is #9 entitled Grudge Match. In this one, the female members of the JL are being brainwashed to fight in a secret underground tournament. Wonder Woman gets to show exactly how powerful she really is.

Besides these, the other episodes have thier moments. Like I said, the entire season is worth watching just for the show itself. You won't believe how the series ends. I don't want to give it away, but it's good.

Thanks for the teasers, jd. Those of us who follow the series as it airs have something to look forward to!

I agree -- this has been a top-notch series. Too bad this is the final season, but the show has had a good run (and I do think that the current season suffers a bit by comparison with the previous one).

Let's hope the creators fill the void with a Supergirl series. Failing that, a Legion of Super-Heroes series would be a nice "consolation prize." ( I believe lfan reported that both projects are under consideration. )

On a side note: When are the d***heads at Warner Brothers going to toss the Justice League's fans a bone by releasing full-season DVD sets instead of squeezing out one or two episodes at a time on single discs?

Justice League - Season One comes out on DVD on March 21, 2006. Hopefully a regular release schedule follows for the rest.

I believe casting (voice) is underway for the Legion cartoon series. I heard they've cast a number of characters including Lightning Lad most recently. No word on a "Kara" series.....

I read somewhere that the new series is supposed to be Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes and judging by "Far Form Home," I'm starting to believe it. Not only does the episode imply that any Legion series would have Kara in it, but that episode was obviously intended to (finally) let Kara show off what she can do. I mean, they spend waaay too much time in that episode making her look cool and smart and tough to be a coincidence. The trademark of show had always been that they make the heroes look like wimps (anyone remember Solomon Grundy easily wiping the floor with Superman or Power Girl destroying Kara?), so it's hard to believe they'd treat Kara that nicely without a reason.

Then again, it might just be my wishful thinking.

I heard that too somewhere. Hopefully SG and the Legion get their own show. Judging by the "Far From Home" episode, she would easily be the most powerful member.

You may be thinking of the LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES comic, which will become SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION ... starting with issue #16.

However, the "animated Kara" is looking more and more like her comic-book counterpart ... so you may be right in speculating that she'll be prominently featured in the LEGION cartoon (assuming it materializes).

Maybe if we all wish hard enough ...
