This episode still remains my favorite stand-alone episode in the series. It's probably the first episode I ever show anyone if I want to introduce them to the DCAU, because it just makes you really want to see more episodes about these characters.
Perhaps. But I think that stuff is what makes it more enticing to watch the whole DCAU and understand how it all connects. It's sorta the kind of feeling you get when you read a really good comic book that has references you don't quite get, but makes you want to learn more. Except with the DCAU it's actually possible to watch every episode and get it all (whereas reading every DC comic is dang near impossible).While that's true, it's also a tribute to the continuities built up over the course of all the different shows. So would a newbie understand why Clark is so surprised when Jor-El's voice changes? Or why Loara is significant?

But again in "Warworld" Superman was more powerful than Mongul, he was letting Mongul win, and had BT and Co. let Superman fight him at the end (like what should have been done) it would have been more brutal than the "Twilight" fight IMO, they could have figured something else out for Draaga instead of having him waste Mongul, but yeah your probably right, there would have been more disappointed fans than not,
D.
LOL, you sir just posted THE Post of the year IMO, "Tea and bisquits." ha ha, I love it,That is true, I did sort of forget about Mongul's appearance in "War World." I tend to think, though, that "War World" undervalued Mongul's legitimacy as a villain. Just now, I was leafing through the Superman: Exile TPB, the story on which the episode "War World" was based, and Superman estimated that Mongul was every bit as powerful as he was, maybe even stronger. Also, Mongul conquered thousands of planets all throughout space, a task made possible in part because he was too mighty for anyone to oppose physically. I think the cartoon sort of gave Mongul the feel of being a poser, a guy who talked the talk but might not've been able to walk the walk, though he thought he could.
Therefore, I understand your complaint. Based strictly on "War World," Superman probably should've wiped the floor with Mongul and then served tea and biscuits to Wonder Woman and Batman afterward.

I also agree with those who mentioned the superb voice acting. Dana Delaney and George Newbern really stepped it up for this one.
I wonder what Dana thought of working with George Newbern as Superman compared to working with Tim Daly as Superman...I also agree with those who mentioned the superb voice acting. Dana Delaney and George Newbern really stepped it up for this one.
