[up]To be fair:

The Superman she was dating isn't the same one married with a kid. Because comic books.

[up]I know, but her whole N52 history was revealed as a lie and she's being manipulated by unknown forces anyway, again, because comic books, so you don't really know if she loved N52 Superman for real or not. She hinted to Steve that she did'nt.

I'm hoping Lois and Steve show up in a second season or something. I like Clark and Diana more as friends anyway

IDK. Maybe it could be a new thing like Lois and Steve hook up for a short period.

What were the other reasons the Clark/Diana relationship was hated other than it not being their OTP?

Also some writers didn't put their best effort into it, and it played no part and had no relevance in Diana's own book at the time.

[up]x3 Another reason not a lot of people like this pairing is due to how forced it was made initially. This ties in with the whole New 52 mandate of restarting all of the characters and getting rid of the previously established status que; namely eliminating the marriage between Lois and Clark that everybody praised in the Post-Crisis universe in favor of a popular ship that usually either appear in Elseworld stories or lampshaded by characters in the DC universe who notice the similarities between the two.

But like Nega King Kix said, its mostly fanboys/fangirls who just don't find the two heroes as their OTP. Speaking of Nega . . .

@Nega King Kix I did a review on this show which express my opinions on all of the episodes. In short, they are all good with moments that are unforgettable IMO.

I'm just impressed with the fact that there's an episode featuring the freakin' Nuclear Family. Didn't expect those guys at all.

I'm impressed at the use of obscure DC characters, can't wait to see the episodes myself.

Well, so far my favorite characters are Lobo, Wizard (Shazam) and Etrigan, while favorite episodes are "Under A Red Sun", "Speed Demon" and "Play Date".

Show definitely does action well, and stories while not developed, are at least original. I thought at first that "Trick or Threat" would be too similar to that JLU episode, but it was different enough. The worst thing I can say is that humor doesn't really speak to me. At time it feels kinda juvenile, like when Faust was pretending to levitate. I also fear a bit that characters who aren't good at smashing don't really get chance to shine in this show. See: Joker and Mr Mind who both act mostly as Living MacGuffin.

On separate episode observations, it was weird to see Killer Frost portrayed as nicer then Mr Freeze. That's a total script flip. Also, anyone noticed that every time there is magic episode, only Batman shows up? And he always works with Zatanna? We have 4 episodes like that already.

Here's a question Does CN advertise this show now that it's on Saturday? Or are they purposly trying to kill it?

[up]The latter.

[up]I'm not surprised that JL Action is gonna hit the ground before running but CN could've gained something from at least giving it a PPG reboot shot.

[up][up][up][up] They seem to be basing Freeze on Comics! Freeze, who Depending on the Writer really is that awful, even before the Nu 52 retconned him into a creep with no actual sympathetic motivations. Post BTAS, Pre-Nu 52 Freeze accidentally killed Nora early in his villain career (Lazara nonwithstanding) and... didn't take it well.

This Frost appears to be Caitlin Snow, with the romantic angle taken from Crystal Frost, both of whom are less evil than the most famous Frost Louise Lincoln. Though yeah, Action! Frost is still way nicer than either of them, more wannabe with Catwoman-esque morality than outright villain.

@Sunchet, I'm pretty sure all of those episodes are written by Paul Dini, who usually likes writing Batman and Zatanna, plus some Harley, judging by her cameo in one of them.

I also noticed the magic episodes feature either Constantine or Etrigan.

Even if I barely knew character, it's weird to see nice villain with "Killer" in name.

Finished all the recent eps for this.

I like this, It's fun, simple and gives lots of characters a chance to shine. Good job D.C.

Have any of these episodes aired in the US? As far as I can tell, all CN in the US has run has been the debut movie, and then that same movie broken up into individual 15 minute installments. Which, needless to say, is annoying.
