It’s a cartoon series about super heroes, so it must be just for kids, right? Wrong. This hugely entertaining series may center on guys and gals in tights fighting for truth, justice and blah, blah, blah, but it does it with both style and substance. The stories are strong, mainly because the writers don’t take themselves or their characters too seriously. And the acting is effective, both from the regular leads and in episodes featuring guest appearances with talent ranging from Jeremy Piven as The Elongated Man to Mark Hamill as the zombie bad guy Solomon Grundy. While there’s a lot for the average viewer to enjoy, the show also does well by the hard core comic fans by not only giving the stars of DC Universe plenty of play, but delving deep into the archives to make sure every one of their heroes has a moment in the spotlight.
