JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED UPDATE



Saturday's airing of the "Starcrossed" Justice League movie on Cartoon Network gave viewers their first glimpse of Justice League Unlimited with a short promo during the final credits.

The images appear to be from "Initiation," which opens the season on Saturday, Aug. 7.

The episode, as well as the preview, features Supergirl, Green Arrow and Captain Atom.

"Supergirl's great," said Paul Dini during The Continuum's recent roundtable interviews with Justice League creators. "I saw the first episode. She's the kid of the group. Everything she does on screen reminds you that here's the energetic kid hero, trying to earn her wings."

The promo showed the much-discussed scene in the Watchtower with literally dozens of DC heroes.

The huge number of heroes won't be a pattern, though. Most episodes will focus on much small groups.

"Truthfully, some episodes of Justice League in the previous seasons were harder because we were trying to juggle seven," story editor Stan Berkowitz told The Continuum. "In the new season, seldom are there seven major heroes in one episode.

"How could you give their due to seven characters in half an hour? Or more than that? That would be impossible."
