The final issue of Snyder's Batman run hit me so hard when I first read it. Unforgettable. That's the issue that defines his Batman to me.

Not gonna lie, the ending of this video was absolutely beautiful. As for my thoughts on Scott Snyder's Justice League? Well, it's a heavy influence on my Avengers-Verse alongside Jonathan Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers run, which is another way of saying that I love it, I Love It, I LOVE IT! This is easily the best Justice League run I've read. Granted, the only ones I've read are this and Geoff Johns' run, but whereas the latter run was an introduction to the New 52 DC Universe, this felt like a lost season of the DCAU with an added manga flair. As someone who is a novice when it comes to DC lore (I'm more of a Marvel fan), all the continuity crammed into this book served to highlight the rich history of the DCU, and not once was I ever lost or confused as to what was going on in the story (I will admit that I have trouble remembering what the seven Perpetua Forces are once I'm done, but that's just my poor memory). Also, Snyder's Lex Luthor is easily the best version of the character I've read (again, not much competition since the only other one I've read is Grant Morrison's version), if only because of how different it is from the norm. In the end, that is what comics should strive to be; a celebration of the past that isn't afraid to do new things in the process. Now, having said that...SWEET JESUS, WHERE IS PERPETUA'S NECK?! Also, thank you for mentioning the Kent Family Punch from the Sixth Dimension Arc, which is actually an homage to the Father-Son Kamehameha from Dragon Ball Z. Jorge Jimenez said so himself.

I came into this worried you'd just crap on the book. I'm happy to say that you were very fair and balanced in this review. Yeah: the series is flawed. But, it has a ton of charm and passion flowing through every page. It's not my favorite JL run, but it's definitely one of the best.

There are a lot of unresolved plot threads by the end of this book. Snyder is still doing a finale, through a dark knights metal sequel. There isn't much to be spoiled.

I feel like this is your best video

Great video and I love this review/recap videos of yours. I've really liked this run of justice league and I believe it's all thanks to its campiness and balls-to-the-wall set-pieces. It isn't as good as his Batman run, true, but the style is so out there I can't do anything else but love it. Btw, I can't believe you hate yourself enough to read Bendi's Superman, that book is straight up torture. But hey, we all have to die of something eventually.

Love the video! You should do a review of doomsday clock

I love the ambition and concepts in this book, but I think it really drowns in that ambition narratively, but the art was as epic as a Justice League book deserves. I think it really wanted to be Morrison's JLA meets the JL cartoon, which would be my ideal Justice League book. And I think it achieves that in some areas, but Snyder doesn't have Morrison's same poetry or elegance. I do still think this is the best JL book since Morrison's, but I think that's sadly a low bar.

I just read it. Been reading Justice League comics all my life. I'm almost a little bit insulted by how perfectly terrible these 39 issues are. It's like Snyder went out of his way to write an absolutely unreadable mess.

Hi, I wanted to ask you that do you think Wally West is too OP, should he be nerfed to a degree, if not, why so? And I also wanted to ask that of you were given the chance to write a Wally West story, what would his idealistic speed be in your opinion? Also, can you tell me Wally’s limitations as a character and how it can be used in fights and other scenarios?

what are the hardcovers before this? Rebirth? because on amazon there is justice league from 1 to 4 deluxe esition, is your review a continuation of them?

Also i love jorge Jimenz artwork especially on superman and his family with his wife Lois lane and his Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy is awesome and adorable that it makes me miss young 10 year old Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy being sweet little innocent self so much.

@@TevyaSmolka I'm indifferent to Bendis' Superman. Granted, the only truly bad comic I've read by Bendis was Civil War II, but I agree that Bendis was not suited to write Superman, especially both the main book and Action Comics. The only reason I'm not upset by this is because this run of Justice League and DCeased both captured everything great about Superman despite them being ensemble books, so I have alternatives. That is easily my go to strategy whenever I'm not satisfied with how a character is being handled in their solo book; I look for any other books where they're featured prominently like a team book or an elseworld book. I don't want to read Captain America and Black Panther while Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing them, so I turn to Avengers for my Captain America and Black Panther fix. I honestly don't know why others don't adopt this strategy if they don't like a creative direction for a character.

@@TevyaSmolka Well, you can always just not read Bendis' comics. I know how frustrating it is to see your favorite character or team get mishandled by the writer tasked with telling good stories with them, but those characters will still be there when that writer leaves. I'm not too fond of Donny Cates' run on Thor because it seems to be going out of its way to either erase or undo everything from Jason Aaron's Thor, but I know Thor will still be around when Donny Cates leaves and he's still in Avengers, so I won't be starved for Thor. For a better example, the X-Men were being run into the ground after Secret Wars 2015 in order to push the Inhumans, so I simply avoided the book, and now the X-Men have made their grand return thanks to Jonathan Hickman.

Out of curiosity, are you going to be covering Superman AND Action Comics when you review Bendis' Superman run, or are you just covering Superman alone?

Lol Ric Grayson

Maybe Jorge intended to introduce Uzumaki to Snyder, thinking it would make for a good influence on him for writing this run but Snyder read the wrong Manga and just binged read through the one featuring Uzumaki Naruto. Common mistake! Sorry for this confusing super dense and convoluted joke. But hey, it fits with this JL run, right?

Wait, I thought he killed Xanshi. UPDATE: LIAR! He totally mentioned how Jon Stewart was a solider AND an architect.

The fly on batmans screen doesn't outright indicate that the joker is alive. That ending is a "suggested ending", which means a reader can choose between various endings (in this case jokers fate. Is he death or alive). So basically its not an ending in it of itself, because making the reader doubt about the reality of that situation definitely counts as a cliffhanger. The issue here is that you mention some of the justice league arc endings and you state that some of these endings really arent endings. Its kind of naive to say that because these endings have similar constructions. This shows you already made up your mind on jokers fate (while omitting the possibility of the other ending) , and ultimately deemed the death of the family arc as a concluded story, which definetely is not. I wanted to add that it is really hard for me to listen to you simplify a complex story. "either kill the bat family or... don't kill the bat family" this is such an immature way of looking at the themes underneath the whole run. The plot twist after Batmans decision may have resulted somewhat trope-ish, I can agree on that, but ignoring important themes of the plot makes me think that you should reevaluate your approach and appreciation towards comics.

Such a messy book,I wish a better artist would’ve drawn this
