Now that the Boston Brand episode aired in the UK it's really getting annoying here in the states we have to wait till summer or fall for new episodes. Gee, thanks a lot cartoon network. How about you show a lot less live action films and a lot more cartoons.

In anycase, I really like the society story that is going on in the background. What with having Grodd be the leader and his conflict/power struggle with Lex build up little by little and eventually having those lesser known heros in the cartoon like Deadman, I'm really going to miss this if it is to end.

AICN has this episode summary for "Flash and Substance" episode aired in the UK.

Spoiler:
What could be more humiliating than the godless Canadians getting “Justice League Unlimited” sooner than Americans? The scurvy British getting “Justice League Unlimited” sooner than Americans!! Our long national nightmare has begun, and “Solo4357” brings us our first review of “Flash and Substance”:

A new Justice League is finally back with it's most respectful look at DC history yet, told in a totally silly way.

What's it called?
"Flash and Substance."

What number is it?
Well, if you think JLU is starts as season 3 of Justice League, then this is 5.5. Otherwise it's 3.5. Either way, it's been WAAAY too long since we've seen a new JLU. How long? Try Sept 24.

What's it about?
The Flash must handle an onslaught of super-villains during the opening of a museum in his honor.
This sounds familiar....
It should. During the silver age, Central City did the same thing for Barry Allen.

Barry Allen?! Is he in this?
ALMOST. There is a psuedo cameo, if you look for it. And want it to be bad enough. He's never really identified as such.. but I think we all know.

So who's on hand for the opening?
Well for the heroes, the two most unlikely: Batman and Orion. Orion feels like the writers pulled his name out of a hat. "Um, we need a third..." The villians make up the four worst (or best) from Flash's rogues gallery: Captain Boomerang (fresh from his escape from Task Force X) Captain Cold, Mirror Master and the Trickster.

The villians are there to put aside differences and congradulate the Flash for being a worth opponent, right?
Yeah right. It starts as the usual "Let's see who can take him down" contest but, in a welcome moment, they trash that plan. "Ah, the heck with this one-at-a-time stuff. Let's just all get him at once."

Any surprises?
Yes. Mark Hamill reprises his role as the Trickster.

Reprises?
Remember the live-action Flash from 1990? His crazieness in that role probably got him noticed for the Joker audition two years later for Batman:TAS. We've come full circle. The bad part is that the Trickster is wasted in this episode.

What's good?
The Flash's relationship with Central City. Batman's secret respect. The stuff in the museum (including his and Superman's Race around the world). Captain Boomerang's cheapness. The Trickster, when given a chance. "You're wearing the outfit again." "Am I?" The method to taking down Mirror Master. "It's not black tie, is it?" Batman, as usual.

What's not so good?
Orion just doesn't belong in this episode. It's weird. There's no movement on the League of Villians Co-op storyline. Flash's complete obliviousness to the hot reporter (whom I beleive he's married to in the comics) who's coming on to him. Given the girl-crazy history of the character in the show up til now, it didn't make sense. Batman should be able to do better against Captain Cold, given his history with Mr. Freeze. Mark Hamill was wasted as Trickster. Good casting, not enough to do.

Rating: *** 1/2 out of Five.

Is Dead Reckoning also a new episode? What are the other 2? Someone mentioned 4 episodes have been aired already (outside of USA, of course).

the UK shows two episodes a week. One on monday and one on wednesday. So they currently have aired Dead Reckoning and Flash and Substance.

Both episodes are wickedly awsome. I especially like Deadman and Batman's typical exchange.

I thought Patriot Act was kind of lame myself. Although I really liked Flash and Substance.

Didn't care much for Flash & Substance, but Dead Reckoning was terrific.

I liked Patriot Act and Flash and Substance a lot. Still no The Best Story Never Told, though. Dead Reckoning was alright.

Cool, so will there be reruns of the 4 eps they showed earlier? I missed the ep where Lex broke out of prison.

Well there's that new animated Supes/Brainiac DTV film... which I think is kind of pointless.
