A Justice League adventure set in the DCAU that's reminiscent of an episode of the TV show, only it's spread out across the page instead. Doing a story involving multiverse travel is extremely hard to get right, and whilst this particular story doesn't go intricately into detail, it manages to muster together a somewhat coherent plot. It's fun without taking itself too seriously, and manages to produce the right amount of laughs, action and character moments.

As a longtime fan of the original Batman, Superman, and Justice League animated series universe, I was so happy to see this comic book series coming to life. Finally introducing the multiverse concept to this animated series was an inspired choice, introducing everything from the Vandal Savage-led Nazi world housing a Nazi-version of Superman, a world in which Darkseid married a certain Amazonian hero, and so much more. The artwork matched the original animation perfectly, and the rich story expanded the already engaging world that the shows had already left behind, leaving me wanting a new animated series to pick up where this comic series leaves off. A must-read for longtime JLU fans!

I can't say I'm a fan of this series. I've not watched the animated series yet, so I don't know whether John Stewart's personality is this bad in the series or whether it just came off so badly in this comic series, but I'm not used to him being such a misogynistic ass.

With the talent involved in this writing staff I would have expected a better constructed story. Instead it is a pretty weak one. I actually like these animated comics because they are less dark than the mainstream ones and less bogged down by the reboot of the DC Universe (for the 100th time). I like the more cartoon-ish art style. what I didn't like was the story involving Amazo still searching for his reason to exist. And breaking the Universe in the process so our heroes switched places with a darker version of themselves...or different Multiverse versions. As I said I like these animated books because it simplifies things - when you try to do a multiverse storyline you are missing the point of simplification. also "dark Superman?" have we not seen that idea 100 times before?
And the way it concluded..the power of love of Wonder Woman and Batman saved everything...yikes. No thanks. That was a little too smarmy and convenient.
All in all - not a great read. They could have done better.

It's a multiverse story with cosmic scale action which isn't for everyone. I'm in the middle on these, this one was fine but I wish the other Earths got more distinctions than the typical nazi world or diversified league I've seen a few times.
It had good character interactions and surprisingly Darkseid (in love with a Wonder Woman, probably based on Super Friends). I didn't like how a lot of events were added retrospectively instead of being shown, especially what lead to the villain reveal might have made a better plot.
The ending is a cop out, what do you mean Diana isn't strong enough until Batman joins her, there wasn't even an explanation apart from the power of love I guess. It's a fine story but one I won't be coming back to.

Not the fun nostalgia I was hoping for after reading Batman: The Adventures Continue, rather a chock-a-block, madcap multiversal meditation on Life, Anti-Life, the Universe and Everything.

Yet another overblown, convoluted story of the type DC seems to favor these days, but the stripped-down animated style makes it at least comprehensible, if not all that intetesting. Extra points for some well done artwork that recreates the style of the TV animated series without looking too childish.

I enjoyed this a lot! It’s essentially the DCAU’s synthesis of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis. Gorgeous line art by Ethen Beavers with outstanding colors from Nick Filardi take the book to a whole other level.

3.5. A nice continuation of Justice League Unlimited which helps it grow even more!

Do you remember Justice League Unlimited? The peak of CB and the Superhero genre?
Comic name: Justice League Infinity issue 1 to 7
Written by JM Dematteis, James Tucker
Justice League Infinity is the "continuation" of DCAU's Justice League Unlimited. I am a huge sucker for DCAU content, so if there's anything about DCAU I have to have it. Or in this case, read it. It was a great experience. A great urge for nostalgia is done well.
The story starts in the future of JLU ending. Where Justice League is having a party. The birthday party of the FLASH. But things don't go well when granny goodness and kalibak attack in the middle of the party, seriously why ruin the party? why? The Justice League defeats them, but then the story takes an interesting turn. People are Vanishing all around the world and different variants of them are appearing in their place. All this happens because Amezo broke the "mirror dimension". The heroes try their best to save the multiverse!
The story might seem generic, but I can assure you, it is not. It is rather the best approach for this concept in years. It's simple yet engaging. The issues explore each of the core members in 7 issues. Which is great. Everyone gets their chance to shine. Every issue was a blast to read. By the end of 7 issues, I can hear the ending theme of Justice League Unlimited in my head. And oh boy, that was *chief's Kiss*. Loved that feeling.
The artwork is fabulous. It is exactly like the DCAU art style. Which is one of my favorite art styles ever! The execution is marvelous. Eye-catching and the colors are just mind-blowing. Probably one of the best if not the best DC comic in the last few years. For me, it is/was the best ongoing series by DC. I would love to have a physical copy of the first issue. The cover for that is one of my favourites in years.

If you want an amazing Justice League story with intelligent writing, great dialogue, amazing storylines, and a surprisingly nuanced and mature approach to dealing with difficult themes.......then you're better off just watching the show again and not bothering with this nonsense.
This is the story you read if you don't care about the Justice League, the conflicts that drive them as characters, or the world they live in.
This is the story you read if you want to hear J'onn explore his gender identity, Lois flagellate herself over her white privilege, and Superman talk about his support of Antifa. I'm not even joking.
And then the main storyline is just a bargain-bin version of Grant Morrison's Multiversity, which wraps up when our heroes realize that the fabled Life Equation is nothing more than the power of friendship with a little social justice mixed in.
My point is that even if you are sympathetic to these kinds of political statements (simplistic as they are), the comic still fails to dredge up any kind of passable story out of this muck.
And the absolute worst part about all of this is that the show itself had already done a better job of having an adult conversation with its audience about politics and power 20 years ago in the legendary Justice Lords story.
Where deMatteis and Tucker present an alternate universe where everything would be fixed if we just had a single world government run by a "Justice Collective" with every kind of diversity on display except diversity of opinion, the old series showed us how even our best intentions can lead us unwittingly into tyranny and intolerance if we're not careful.
And Justice League Infinity is anything but careful.

I am a Justice League Unlimited superfan. I did not expect this would live up to the series (because even the final season of that show didn't), but I was pretty disappointed in this. The story feels fairly empty, but with melodramatic constant narration overlaid on top to give it some weight that it doesn't have.
The story at times is a retread of the incredible A Better World episodes, dealing with alternate dimension versions of our main characters, and the season 1 finale The Savage Time. It kind of picks up from the (amazing) Amazo episode The Return, but it feels repetitive, like it skips Amazo's character growth in later episodes of JLU and brings him right back to the existential questioning, which Dr. Fate and Hawkgirl had helped him with. Yeah this is a really nerdy review, sorry.
The story felt stretched out, and perhaps aside from the Wonder Woman/Darkeid issue, there just was not a lot of imagination or creativity when it came to the alternate versions of the characters. The idea of Batman with a broken back flying around on a little thing was intriguing but he's mostly a tiny drawing in the background.
A lot of it felt like "oh, people like this little thing from JLU, so let's hit it really hard on the head", like Wonder Woman/Batman chemistry, etc, etc. I get it, you want the comic to pick up on some threads, but JLU did this stuff in a subtle way, which is why fans went crazy for it.
The art was great, no complaints there. And the storyline promises something really ambitious and universe(s)-shattering...but yet it felt disposable. I expect something more surprising, funny, emotional and creative from the writers of the actual show.

A really solid read that brings back the characters, relationships, and atmosphere of the '90s/early 2000s animated show. I was surprised by how "real" the story actually got (and by the theme of pro-one world government? At least that's how I took it since one of the Supermen lived on a peaceful world, which was attained by the aforementioned one-world government... but so did the world with Overman... wait... Was the theme not as straightforward as a one-world government, but how it is the people--both the ones in charge and the everyday citizens--who determine whether a governmental system is helpful or harmful? Woah... this book was more complex and interesting than I thought.) (Also that was a really long parentheses, lol.) But the end message was definitely what we show up for as comics fans (at least, what I show up for): Hope. This book was all about how we can be better and stronger. Superheroes represent those best parts of us, and that's what this story ultimately provided--all while not ignoring or "sugar-coating," the worst that humanity can be as well. (Also, when Wonder Woman and Batman were holding hands... I was grinning way too much.) A couple other highlights: (1) I loved that Martian Manhunter was a central character. (He gets ignored too often.) (2) I really enjoyed that each issue was narrated by a different character. The different perspectives allowed for a fuller story, not just from a plot perspective, but also with world-building and overall characterization.

Years ago I watched the "Justice League" cartoon, and the subsequent "Justice League Unlimited" series, and was a big fan of that animated continuity. Because of that, when I first heard about this comic book return to that universe, I knew that I'd want to check it out. Having now read it, I was really excited that...
SPOILERS:
...we ended up getting a "Crisis-like" miniseries set in this fun universe. The characterizations were perfect, and the story really felt like a continuation of the animated stories that had come before it (even referencing the events of specific episodes that gave context to story beats here).
I loved this.

Pretty good! I think the narration device used throughout the series didn't totally work. Sometimes it was "tell don't show" and other times it was "tell AND show". Doesn't really have time for much in-depth character stuff but at the end it quickly points you in the direction of where some characters end up after the show. This kinda cosmic universe-shattering stuff usually washes over me but I was a little more invested having just finished re-watching the show. All in all, not a bad little revisit to that show and MY GOD Ethen Beavers pulled out all the stops. The artwork is gorgeous. This and his Indiana Jones Adventures stuff really endeared me to him as a great ultra-cartoony but still complex and detail oriented comic artist. I hope to see lots more from him.

Justice League Infinity continues where the animated TV show, Justice League Unlimited, leaves off.
Amazo in search of meaning to his life encounters a skewed version of himself.
Amazo's encounter with this being causes members of the Justice League to be flung into parallel universes and an evil version of Superman to be flung into ours.
It's up to the Justice League to stop Amazo from releasing his doppelganger or otherwise cause the ultimate destruction of all of the universes.
The art is expertly done in the same style as the animated show and the story reads just like an episode of the Justice League animated show.
It was a fun read.

Let me start off by saying that my introduction to superhero media was this Justice League when I was 6.
This comic is absolutely not for everyone.
But as a fan of the OG show??
This was fantastic!!!!
I love the exploration of the multiverse and a look at morality and what makes someone good or bad. I also think this really took advantage of looking at characters we were familiar with and twisting them in some way to make it distinct and new.
As a fan of the show, I love the continuation with Diana and Bruce’s relationship and John’s lingering feelings for Shayera.
I am so sad there won’t be more of this universe for now, but I love what we were given.

Seeking purpose across the universe, Amazo stumbles upon a glass wall that begins to shatter under his desperation, tearing apart reality and throwing the Justice League into a multiversal battle to save their world before whatever lays behind the mirror breaks free! DeMatteis brings fans of the beloved Justice League Unlimited a decently thrilling ride across the Multiverse, full of interesting new characters and colourful illustrations, if a bit out of character and cliched in its finale. Can the Justice League find one another in time to save reality from being undone?

This felt like a natural extension of the justice league unlimited series. This 7 issue story feels like a multi episode arc they would've aired on cartoon network. Beautiful stylized Bruce timm inspired artwork. Great new and returning cast members. And a multiversal spanning epic that the justice league so regularly deal with. What more can someone ask for? This story makes me feel like I'm up Saturday morning watching cartoons. God, I miss that era of animated storytelling.
March 25, 2022
Justice League and J.M. DeMatteis. Those are the only words you needed to say to get me to want to read this comic. With or without Keith Giffen, DeMatteis is the writer for Justice League. Add in not being hindered by current DC continuity- and continuing the unfinished arcs from the Justice League Unlimited TV series. Hell yeah.
This is EXACTLY what I wanted.

A Justice League adventure set in the animated universe. Crisis is even taking place there. Amazo is discovering things about himself which s causing reality to fracture and the walls between the universes to fail. There's some great asides with different incarnations of familiar JL members. This was decently done in Bruce Timm's at style.
February 11, 2024
These things can be hit or miss but I actually really enjoyed this mini series done in the style of the old Justice League cartoons. It does a very good job of capturing both the spirit and the visual style of the cartoons and I think it's worth a look from others that share my nostalgia for the show.
August 31, 2025
I could hear everyones voice in my head while i read this. DCAU JLA will always have a special place in my heart. Amazo coming back was nice to see as i always wondered what happened to him. Bruce & Diana are also perfect they were the key all along! Wish the story was a bit sharper but i overall had a great time catching up with old friends.

A solidly entertaining return to the DC Animated Universe's Justice League, taking the League into the multiverse and remixing various takes on DC's alternate Earths. Fans of the series should be pretty satisfied. It would be neat to see this actually animated at some point. (B+)
February 27, 2023
Solidly decent. But doesn’t stand out in any way. Covers a lot of ground quickly, wraps things up maybe too neatly. Writing decent somewhat uninspired. Middle of the road. I had fun though, so that bumps it above 2.5 in my book.
July 27, 2025
This was a fun DCAU continuation that was very unique in its approach to the multiverse. But I felt that it was a little convoluted. The plot was follow-able, but didn't flow in a way that allowed for it to be "binged." It felt like there was a lot of repetition that could've been excised.
October 29, 2022
It's official; the most important superhero in existence is Wonder Woman
March 14, 2023
I loved getting a little bit more of my old DCAU characters. Justice League was one of my favorites. Great read.

Good retroactive finale to the JLU cartoon. Brings back plenty of throwbacks from memorable episodes alongside some key shipping moments.
