Christmas Countdown Day #4: The Flash and Ultra-Humanite (Justice League)

Happy Saturday! It's the Winter Solstice and the fourth day until Christmas. I was thinking about the Justice League Christmas episode Comfort and Joy (season 2 episode 23), in particular the stoyline when the Flash (a.k.a. Wally West) got the Ultra-Humanite to help him bring holiday cheer to children at the Central City orphange.

Earlier in the episode, The Flash has set out to get the toy, D.J. Rubber Ducky that the kids had wanted. However, the toy turned out to be the most sought after. And despite searching everywhere, D.J. Rubber Ducky was sold out. Wally ended up having a good idea and was able to finally get the toy for the kids. However, D.J. Rubber Ducky was broken after The Flash got into a fight trying to stop Ultra-Humanite from destroying art at a museum.

When Ultra-Humanite realized why The Flash was so upset about the toy being broken, he decided to repair it. However, with a slight change that the kids ended up loving. To thank Ultra-Humanite, The Flash surprised him with an aluminum Christmas tree. Which turned out to be a rather touching gift.

Quote: Lex Luthor (Justice League Unlimited)

I love the The Great Brain Robbery episode of Justice League Unlimited, it had The Flash (Wally West) and Lex Luthor's bodies being switched. Lex is a horrible person and was even worse with The Flash's powers which had the Justice League trying to stop him. Meanwhile, it was funny watching Wally pretending to be Lex and try to keep all those villains from realizing something was wrong with Lex. This was just a fun little "Freaky Friday" episode.

Lex, you're having a difficult day.. Hmm, If nothing else, I can at least learn the Flash's secret Identity...I have no idea who this is.

Quote: Wonder Woman and Batman (Justice League Unlimited)

Wonder Woman: These Shoes are killing me.

Batman: You fight crime wearing high heels.

Wonder Woman: High heels that fit.

Happy 20th and 4th Anniversary, Justice League Animated Series and Justice League Movie!

November 17th marks the 20th anniversary of the Justice League Animated Series and the 4th anniversary of the Justice League movie.

In the animated series which premiered in 2001, DC Comics most iconic heroes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkwoman (Hawkgirl) and Martian Manhunter teaming up for the first time to stop an alien invasion in the three part episode Secret Origins. This is one of my favorite shows, it's so well-written and you got see so many cool stories and characters. The show would eventually expand and become Justice League Unlimited which introduced even more amazing characters and stories.

Also on this day was the 2017 release of the Justice League movie which also had Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Cyborg, Flash and Aquaman teaming up to stop another alien threat, Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons who was trying to take over the world. I know this theatrical version of the movie was not as well received by fans but I still really like it. The movie had a concise story, good characterization and a lot of action with a good blend of humor. In another post, I wrote about how much I loved the movie (along with a few things I didn't like). It's not a bad movie but I think maybe a lot fans who didn't like it were looking for something similar to the cinematic feel of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman which is now available with the Zack Snyder Justice League movie.

Happy Anniversary, Justice League Animated Series and Justice League Movie

Time really does fly by, I can't believe it's the 18th anniversary of the Justice League animated series. The show premiered on the Cartoon Network with the three part episode Secret Origins which featured the iconic characters Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkwoman (Hawkgirl) and Martian Manhunter teaming up to stop an alien invasion.

Not to be forgotten, it's also the two year anniversary for the Justice League movie which had Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash teaming up to stop the Apokoliptic threat of Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons from trying to take over the world.

Happy Anniversary to the Justice League animated series and to the Justice League movie both had big heroes and big stories. I hope there will be more shows and movies for us fans to look forward to.

Fashion Meets Comics: Summer Look: Wonder Woman (Justice League Unlimited)

Even an Amazon Princess needs a day off and while trying to take a relaxing day in the city, Diana wore this really cute outfit. Too bad her day was ruined by a group of bank robbers that she needed to stop but wearing this outfit she made fighting crime look so chic.

Toy Corner: Wonder Woman Statue (Justice League Animated Series)

Let's face it statues are expensive. But I found one that is not a total budget buster. This Justice League animated series Wonder Woman statue is only $44.95 (coincidentally, I've seen it priced lower at a few other places). However, that price is still not bad especially compared to some of the statues I've seen priced for over a hundred dollars.

This is one of my favorite versions of Wonder Woman and it goes without saying that I will be getting this.

Happy Christmas Eve! (+ Some Geeky Christmas Shows to Watch)

Happy Christmas Eve, if you're anything like me and still need to wrap gifts (or buy a few last minute gifts). Don't get stressed out. Whether you're with family and friends or by yourself, have fun wrapping gifts. To make the most of it why not play Christmas music or watch some of your favorite Christmas movies or TV shows. Lay out snacks, bake cookies or do whatever it is that will make you relax and enjoy the moment.

Need a little bit of geeky inspiration for Christmas shows and movie to watch, here are just a small selection of some my favorites:


Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman

Season 2 episode 9: Season Greedings
Season 3 episode 11: Home is Where the Hurt Is
Season 4 episode 11: 'Twas the Night Before Mxymas

30 Days of Geek Chic, Day 8: Two Supergirl Statues

One of my favorite versions of Supergirl (I have quite a few more) is the one that appeared on both the Superman: The Animated Series and the Justice League Unlimited Animated Series.

This Supergirl is so awesome, she's confident, kicks butt and she doesn't sit around whining about stuff she just goes ahead a do it which can sometimes get her into trouble. She is just so cool and amazing which is why I totally flipped when I saw these two Supergirl statues because she's wearing both of her costumes from the shows. How cool is that?

These two are definitely wishlist worthy.
