Justice League Unlimited 3.03

Chaos at the Earth's Core

- Green Lantern, Stargirl, and STRIPE battle a kaiju, specifically a giant turtle, in Japan; at the last minute Supergirl joins the fight, which they win by shrinking the Giant Turtle
-  While flying back to the U.S. in a Javelin the team gets sucked into a hole in the Earth that leads to Skartaris
- First they are attacked by lizard men riding on dinosaurs; Supergirl discovers that her powers don't work very well
- the leaguers team-up with Morgan Travis, the Warlord, and his allies (Jennifer, Machiste, Shakira, Tara) to battle Deimos who now controls most of Skartaris and is currently trying to get his hands on a giant chunk of Kryptonite that is in a temple
- assisting Deimos are Metallo and Silver Banshee
- lots of little moments give screen time to Warlord's allies but he gets considerably more more for himself
- Stargirl is quite happy to see Supergirl taken down a notch after Supergirl stole the spotlight in Japan; apparently Supergirl was there for a Supergirl-themed convention
- Silver Banshee disappears mid-way through the episode after briefly fighting Green Lantern; STRIPE and Green Lantern drop out of the episode at this point but reappear at the end; at this point the focus seems to shift to Warlord battling Deimos, and Stargirl and Supergirl battling Metallo
- After the battle the leaguers interrogate Metallo; he is about to spill the beans when his body short circuits and he is frozen
- Supergirl's costume and hair have changed since season 2
- Animation not so great
- This one felt a little rushed and overstuffed with cameos
- So far we are seeing members of the Legion of Doom show up playing small roles; more eye candy than anything else; they have yet to deliver on the promise made in episode 3.01
- I enjoyed this episode more for what it could have been than what it is; probably my favorite part of this episode is the rivalry between Supergirl and Stargirl; although I'm not crazy about Supergirl's new look it is good to see her back in action; she was an important player in seasons 1 and 2
