    No chatter about this?
    I thought it was fun, chuckled a few times. Alan Tudyk, always wonderful.

    I thought it was really fun and several of the characters were pretty likable and reminded me a lot of Archer.

    I especially loved the opening credits using images from DC comics.

    I think the series speaks most to a post-superhero-saturated culture.
    A show like this just seems like a natural and would've been made eventually.
    Glad we're getting it now, and with characters like Crimson Fox and (upcoming) Fire getting a foot into public awareness.
    Long live the JLI!

    It was OK. A lot of the characters have the same line deliveries which was pretty strange. Danny Pudi is kinda like a toned down Abed, but it works as his character I guess. He could also speak like that normally, so yeah. The show felt really cheap though. The CGI on the train, Starro, and fire was blech. I hope they stay away from that and just do practical stuff.

    I got a few chuckles from the show and have always had a crush on Vanessa Hudgens so, I'll probably try to catch a few more episodes.

    It was decent, nothing special. C+
    Chessy Special effects.
    Got to see Crimson Fox, Jack O'Lantern, and Starro in live-action.

    It was okay. Nothing special about it, but I had a good chuckle here and there. The characters are likeable and Alan Tudyk is a scene stealer, as always. The plot of this episode was a little bit cliché though imo. I hope future episodes will be more original.

    It was nice seeing Crimson Fox, Jack O'Lantern and Starro in action, even if the CGI was kinda meh. I hope we'll see a lot more C-listers in the future as it seems this show is the only way most of them will get any kind of screen time.

    I thought it was really enjoyable. I laughed several times.

    And that intro!

    I liked how it took shots at its own movies. Yhe heroes fighting for vaguely defined reasons jab and then the kyptonite window joke were even funnier for the willingness to poke fun at your movies, kudos to the writing team and WB fot allowing it. Reminds me of the lego batman trailer they recreate a scene from bvs and batman makes a kyptonite joke and then says come at me bro! Had me cracking up

    I didn't think it was very funny. Ripping off Arrested Development isn't going to cut it. I see it being cancelled if this continues.

    How is it ripping off Arrested Development? Might as well say it is ripping off The Mick. Seems more like a workplace comedy to me, like Better Off Ted.

    I thought of BETTER OFF TED when I was watching. Wish it was more like that, but then that show didn't do well in the ratings.

    It's hard to judge off a pilot. There's a lot of clunky things that could get better with time.

    I liked the colour. Visually pleasing.

    Not funny. I wanna see what the original script was supposed to look like
