Customer Reviews

Superfriends grows up
Well this is it, the final chapter of the Hanna-Barbera saga of the Justice League of America, and we go out with more treats for comic fans. There's appearances by past adversaries like Mxyzptlk, Brainiac, the Scarecrow (finally portrayed as he was meant to be!), and of course Darkseid and company, but we also have newcomers to the series like Felix Faust, the Penguin, the Joker, and the Royal Flush Gang. We have another new hero in Cyborg (sorry, Teen Titans fans, no booyahing to be found here) and the exit of campy characters like the Wonder Twins. And the stories! Superman "dies," Batman's origin is told on TV for the first time, and we also get probably the best and most original-spirited version of the Bizarros at the time (as they are now totally played for comedy). The characters all receive makeovers from their Alex Toth roots as well, some subtle, some more noticeable.

Did the series reach Timmverse-like quality? No. But it definitely concluded with a new hint of maturity.

Here are all the others and air dates (1973) Super Friends(16 Episodes), (1977) All-New Super Friends Hour (47 Episodes), (1978) Challenge of the Super Friends (32 Episodes), (1979) The Worlds Greatest Super Friends (8 Episodes), (1980-1983) Super Friends (66 Episodes), (1984) Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers (16 Episodes) and finally (1985) The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians (10 Episodes)

One of the best Superfriends Seasons
This was a great superfriends' series. With new super heros like Firestorm and Cyborg, great animation for its time, and amazing storyboards. Some great episodes like "The Death Of Superman" or "Fear" make all the superfriends get together in spectacular action. Old and new villians join the superfriends in this series, the last one of that era and probably the best too.
