Justice League of America - Target Earth (Filmation)
Video Title :
Justice League of America - Target Earth (Filmation)
Description :
The Earth is being attacked by an invading armada and worse, is being pulled into the Sun! Includes the greatest Superman-feat of all time!
The 60s version of the heros. Mostly emulating the classic Curt Swan Superman of the times. Before all heros became angst-ridden jerks in need of therapists.
This era was set off not by the poor animation or the stories, but by the riveting orchestrated theme music throughout all the Filmation series, that you remember decades after the stories and images fade. I could constantly remember those music clips, all through my adulthood, until I finally found some of the episodes again, from Superman and Superboy, to the JLA, Green Lantern, Flash, the Atom, Hawkman, Aquaman and Teen Titans.
(below the video, look for a 'VIDEO RESPONSE' to my next '60s superhero cartoon! :-)

damm superman rules.
Since this incarnation of the JL doesn't have Batman and Wonder Woman, I can see Smallville basing their version of the Justice League on this.
Man, Atom must have some serious cleats on those shoes.
"The rest of you go and handle the little shit. I'm just gonna go over here and push the planet back, that's all."~(Superman to the rest of the JLA). Hot damn they made dat nigga Supes strong as hell in this!
Of course, it wouldn't work regardless of how super you are. If your car's out of gas and you have to push it, it ain't gonna budge unless your feet are on the ground! But when you're a kid, your suspension of disbelief is very willing!
I never heard of this? I thought the SUPERFRIENDS (73) was the first to pair our DC heroes together. But where oh where is BATMAN?
Well, the JLA predated Superfriends in cartoons, and in the comics... but the original DC superteam was the Justice Society during WW2.
I've got some Batman episodes on one of my Filmation channels. Check them out and let me know what you think of them.
It's cool that these cartoons of the '60s used a lot of Old Time Radio talent... Gerald Mohr, Bud Collyer, Vic Perrin, Paul Frees, Jackson Beck, etc.
Thank you! It's just a damned shame that all these great talents are no longer with us.
