## Synopsis

Justice League Unlimited (2004-2006) is an American animated superhero series created for Cartoon Network, the expanded successor to the earlier Justice League cartoon. Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy) and Superman (voiced by George Newbern) anchor a constantly shifting roster of DC Comics heroes, including J'onn J'onzz (Carl Lumbly), Green Lantern (Phil LaMarr) and Wonder Woman (Susan Eisenberg), who are called together whenever a threat outgrows any single hero. Each episode is built around a self-contained mission, from criminal schemes to alien invasions and sinister plots by allied villains, while larger arcs gradually bring the team's enemies into focus. The engine is simple and satisfying: a crisis arrives, the right heroes assemble, and the team proves that teamwork outmatches any single threat. Across three seasons and thirty-nine episodes, the series keeps a bright, earnest energy, with brisk action, playful camaraderie and a genuine affection for the comic book mythology. Set in a present-day American-comics version of the DC universe, it has the feel of a classic Saturday morning adventure. Fans of Batman: The Animated Series, Teen Titans and The Avengers will find much to enjoy in its lively, accessible heroism.
