from The DCAU Review: A DC Comics Animation Podcast · host The DCAU Review
Cal and Liam are back with one of the final episodes of Justice League Unlimited that ironically calls back to the distant past and involves the future for Green Lantern and Hawkgirl/Shayera with a review of the season three episode "Ancient History." The hosts discuss the complicated comic origin stories of Hawkman and Hawkgirl and how this story plays into it with the inclusion of the DCAU's own confusing Hawkman origins. Additionally, the Good Brothers speculate on Geoff Johns' credit for teleplay and a story that gets mixed reviews from our hosts. The hosts also talk about the visual integration of the ancient Egypt locale, Shadow Thief's powers and borderline perverted sounding voice and music that calls back to some of Hollywood's most epic soundtracks for movies that took place in a similar period of time and place.
