Movie Review: Wonder Woman Takes Center Stage
Summary: 5 Stars

In the first episode "Paradise Lost" our own favorite Amazon, Wonder Woman, takes center stage. The dark sorcerer Felix Faust (voiced by Nightmare on Elm Street star Robert Englund) is in search of several mystic items to free his imprisoned mentor. One such mystic artifact is located on Wonder Woman's home of Themyscira. (Paradise Island) When Diana visits her homeland she discovers that all her Amazon sisters have been turned to stone and finds Felix Faust lying in wait. She discovers that the only way she can turn her people back to normal is by helping Faust gain the remaining artifacts scattered all across the globe. With the Justice League's help Diana finds the items and is shocked to discover exactly who Felix Faust's mentor really is. This has to be my absolute favorite episode of all the season one releases. Not only do we get to see more of Wonder Woman's background, but fans of the characters get to see something that rarely is ever shown: a knock-down drag-out fight between Superman and Wonder Woman. This episode alone is worth the price of purchase.

The second episode is the Superman centered "War World". Superman (voiced by actor George Newbern) is taken prisoner to a savage world where warriors are forced to battle in a gladiator-like spectical for the world's dictator Mongul (voiced by actor Eric Roberts). While there Superman battle's the hulking yet honorable warrior Draaga and makes a name for himself among the planet's people. While trapped there, fellow Justice Leaguers Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter try to save their captured comrade and stop Mongul from continuing his barbaric sport. One complaint fans of the series have had is that Superman tends to be the team's rag-doll, often taking the brunt of the attacks due to his strength and invulnerability. This is very much shown in this episode. That aside, this episode does highlight lots of character development. If your a fan of the comic characters, or simply a fan of good stories, I strongly suggest you purchase this fantastic DVD.
