'' Justice League '' is an American Animated Series about a team of Superhero es which ran from 2001 to 2004 on Cartoon Network . Since April 2006 it is being shown on Cartoon Network's sister channel, Boomerang . It is based on the Justice League and associated Comic Book characters published by DC Comics .
Each episode was 18 minutes long. After the second season, it was renamed '' Justice League Unlimited '', had a vastly expanded cast of characters, and largely changed from two part episodes, to single episode stand-alone stories that often intertwined to form long (even season-long) story arcs.
''Justice League'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' were considered by their creators to be one series (albeit renamed), so Season "1" of Justice League Unlimited is in fact Season "3" of the overall series. , simply renamed, and with a new theme song and opening and closing credits. There were a total of 91 episodes, along with several crossover episodes of '' Static Shock '' in which the League appeared.
The show is, so far, the finale to what is known as the DC Animated Universe . It consists of a series of 6 television shows and 4 films, largely surrounding DC Comics characters and their respective Mythos . The two Justice League shows are stand alone series from the originals, but are at many times seen as direct sequels to the earlier series and films, especially in the closing storylines of ''Justice League Unlimited''.
