Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Justice League returns from a mission in space to find the world transformed, a result of villain Vandal Savage feeding information to his younger self in the 1940s, allowing him to help take over the world during World War II. The League travels back in time themselves to stop him, and fight Nazis alongside DC Comics’ WWII-era heroes (including Easy Company, the Blackhawks, and Steve Trevor).
Our Take
Part two keeps the wartime momentum going and the period detail is a real treat, from dogfights with the Blackhawks to Easy Company’s gruff charm. The action sprawls a bit and some League members get lost in the crowd, but the stakes feel genuinely big for a kids’ show. A fun, pulpy conclusion that earns its high rating.
