I like how this show cleaned up after itself and didn't go into entropy as so many other shows of its type have in the past. It actually got BETTER. It isn't Batman TAS, but it seems to come close. They've done very well, all things considered...the show has had a good run.

You guys think it's destined to be a classic??

There's enough memorable episodes to give it a cult fanbase, it wont go away, but it wont be brought up unless it needs to be either. I think it relied too much on past DCAU glory, where as compared to seasons one and two, it had it's own identity and characters that vanished under the pressure of gimmicks and catering to DCAU fans frustrated with no JLU.

I can really agree with that statement. I thought the JLA team ups were hit or miss, actually. Some of them just seemed to show up for the sake of showing up. Superman and Martian Manhunter's episodes were epic, though. But the others seemed to say, "Look! We're drawing Hawkman and his nemisis in The Batman Style!"

I feel the show could have used a sixth season, wrapping up just before The Dark Knight hits theaters, but Warners wants out of the TV animation game.

So, anyone else see the ending? I thought it walked a thin line between leaving us wanting more, and not quite closing things up enough. We got some closure on Hugo Strange, but not enough.

Strange was seen as the show's principle nemesis anyway, so it's good to close him out.

This season was really disappointing. After the greatness that was season four I expected season 5 to be just as good but man was I wrong. The only episodes I enjoyed were the first two and the Firefly/Meltdown episode. Everything else was either okay or just plain dull.

I hope the Brave and the Bold turns out to be nothing like this season. If its similiar to Justice League I'll be happy.
