It's been very good so far. My Monday night TV watching, unless there's a particularly good game on MNF, is spent with Samurai Jack and Justice League.

Given that the folks that are doing it have a proven track record, between the Batman, Superman, and Batman Beyond work they did previously, it's not too surprising.

I remember seeing the first ad for it on Cartoon Network. My four-year-old son turned to me wide-eyed after seeing Superman, Batman, et. al., and said "Are we gonna watch that, Daddy?" I just smiled and nodded, "Oh, yes. Yes we are." :) So I watch it with him and his sister on the Saturday repeats. She, of course, being at the ripe old age of five, has already adopted a "Girls rule, boy drool" philosophy, and thus is a big fan of Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman. While I'm sure my enjoyment of it is boosted by their enjoyment of it, I think I'd watch it anyway. It's just a darn fun show.

I know that some comic book purists dislike some of the characterizations, such as using the Wally West of ten years ago rather than the more responsible one of today, or using John Stewart as GL, or even making Wonder Woman a novice instead her being one of the all-time greats that she is in DC continuity. But I personally am enjoying the new take on old favorites.
