Doomsday



The story starts out with Superman and the other members of the Justice League storming the White House where Superman uses deadly force to defeat the President of the United States - Lex Luthor using his heat vision. This is shown later in the story to be an alternate world. A world where the League goes down the wrong path in part because of the death of the Flash.
The real League is tricked into coming into this alternate world by the alternate Justice Lords. They are captured, while the Justice Lords turn to the Justice League's Earth to rule it. Doomsday makes an appearance fighting the Justice Lords to a standstill. Awesome fight scenes here. The only gripe I have is when the alternate Hawk Girl get's uppercut by Doomsday hundreds of feet into the air that should have been all she wrote, but instead she's right back on her feet in the next scene. Hawk Girl is seen as way to powerful in some episodes and this one was definitely an example. The only power she really has is wings and a magic mace. Since when can she take a punch from Doomsday? Besides this discrepancy, the scenes of the alternate Superman fighting Doomsday are awesome. One scene has them hitting each other at the same time causing a shock wave that destroys windows in a nearby skyscraper and almost knocks a helicopter for a loop. Now that's worthy of a movie scene. Almost defeated the alternate Superman uses his heat vision to lobotomize Doomsday.
I like this episode better than the latest Doomsday dvd released by WB.

Demon Shrimp



BBQ Demon Shrimp anyone?

Demon Swarm



I had to design many demons for an episode featuring Doctor Fate.

Brainiac



Always lots of fun messing up Brainiac, that bastard.

Cat Captain



Here is the Captain from the Cat People spaceship.
I'm not sure but I think this is from an episode where Green Lantern is on trial in an outerspace court for the destruction of an entire world. Worse John Stewart the Lantern thinks he is guilty. While the Flash tries to play lawyer and defend him the rest of the League investigate. This episode features the Manhunters, the Green Lantern Corp, Guardians of the Universe and the Cat People (alien race made up for the beginning of this episode)

Alien Dog


Batman and Superman discover alien invaders and find out they need the help of others.
Here is one of the aliens.

Hawkgirl...lying slut!


I never liked what the producers did with Hawkgirl in the JLU cartoon universe.
The whole love affair thing with GL was unnecessary and it didn't have anything to do with the comics.
Just another excuse to be politically correct. And what about Hawkman?
If you ask me, I think they worked themselves into a dead end with those two episodes about Carter Hall,
trying to make sense out of their own abomination.
I even started to dislike the character after what they did with it. I was very happy to design a model of Hawkgirl being electrocuted for an episode.
