I downloaded it from a torrent site.
I finally got the Absolute edition for about $50 shipped from Buy.com. Its amazing so far! After I finish it, I’ll probably get the torrent for it. Then buy an HD version when that comes out.

No Kevin Conroy = Could Care Less. What the hell is Bruce Timm thinking?
I thought all the new voices would turn me completely off to it as well but it didnt. It kinda makes sense since its set in a different time, that the voices dont match. Wonder Woman and Supes seem a lot different as well.

So long as they sound right, I could care less about who does the voices.
I’m just glad Hall freaking Jordan is being shown as the GL, after the disaster that was John Stewart I’m glad there showing the real Lantern and not some random black dude that was only including to seem diverse or whatever the lame BS reason was.

Will you stfu about this already? It’s like as if your mom was raped by some black dude that shoved his cock up your mom’s ass and said the oath and his name just so happened to be John Stewart.
Nah, I just hate seeing the race card played for no good reason. It also defies the logic and purpose of a team that is supposed to assemble the very best DC heroes when u have someone who isnt even considered the strongest GL. His skin color got him a pass which is a really shitty reason since changes should be built for the integrity of a story and not for some political agenda.

Something comic books never followed. You lost when you mentioned logic.
Well this case is very different, I mean you would think that when selecting a GL member u would go with the baddest and most powerful lantern there is (Jordan or Kyle)…so u really have to question exaclty why John was chosen considering there r at least 4 more lanterns above him in rank and power. Ive always hated the race card and I dont think it should ever determine the creative direction of a story.

Yeah, and you know how the JLA works? They use heroes available to them. Guess what? John just so happened to be available and Hal wasn’t(he was dead at the time).
So then just use Kyle, every fan already mentioned he was a good enough alternative and as I’ve said already out of all the lanters that could have been brought up it just so happens to be a black guy. Timm Bruce even admitted the reason he chose John was because he was black and Timm Bruce has a pattern of giving shit about fan imput and just doinh whatever the hell he wants regardless if it makes sense or not.
I would much rather have John than Kyle, and I’m glad they chose to put John in JL when they could have easily gone with Kyle (whom they introduced in Superman: TAS years earlier).
…but that doesnt make sense though, Why would a team that is supposed to represent the best of the best intentionally chose a weaker member? Hal Jordan defines what a GL is and so does Kyle to a lesser extent, I just hate seeing skin color factor in with a creative decision. Then again thats just a list of changes Bruce Timm made for no good reason…

Kyle doesn’t define shit, hence why Hal is back and Kyle is in space.
And why John is in midcard limbo were he belongs, Kyle and Jordan were the shits…they were what being a GL is all about. However what this basically comes down to is my lack of respect for the decision behind Johns inclusion and if it wasnt for Timm Bruce officially admitting the reaosn behind Johns push was due to him being black then I might have been okay with it.
John has been around longer than Kyle. John is cooler than Kyle. John isn’t vehemently disliked by a sizable chunk of the fanbase. And yes, John is more socially significant than Kyle. John is all around a better choice than Kyle.
John hasn’t made as big of a impact as Kyle, John is a virtual unknown while Kyle and Jordan r generally associated as being the GL by a vast wealth of fans both hardcore and casual. Not to mention John is a weakling compared to Jordan and Kyle so his inclusion has little to do with his power which basically defeats the enire purpose of gathering the most powerful heros into a single unite. Like I said, if there was some valid reason for his inclusion I might have tollerated it but since Bruce Timm basically admitted he’s only there because he’s black…well that just sounds really lame.
Bullshit. Kyle is a post-Crisis character. John’s got easily two more decades under his belt. Two decades is a long time to rack up readers, particularly since he was introduced in the hugely successful and enduringly popular GL run by Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams.
Yeah, Bruce Timm stated that they wanted a diverse group of heroes, which is ONE of the reasons why they chose John. So what? That doesn’t even come close to explaining the huge hair you have up your ass about it.
Well first off, even in spite of John’s nearly 2 decade head start, he’s hardly at Kyle level of fame. Kyle much like Jordan defined what a GL character is, so its only natural GL is typically associated with being Jordan or Kyle. Kyle rejected Godhood for crying out loud, he had a run as freaking Ion. What memerable story arc or mini-series or comic did John ever have…the one were he was brutally beaten up by supergirl lol.
Second off, I don’t appreciate when creators take liberties with timeless characters and story for either there personal or polical agenda’s. It doesnt make a lick of sense fo have a weak GL member when u have 2 vastly more powerful GL’s that can fill the spot for whats supposed to be a team of the worlds most powerful hero’s. The only thing Johns got going for him is that he’s black, which is why he will never be as remembered or as adored as Jordan and Kyle. Johns whole placment contradicts the premise of the JL which in turn makes JL=auto fuckup.
