This was a very good finale to the series. So, Darkseid lays siege to Earth, and the Justice League must join forces with villains to fend him off. The highlight of the episode was seeing Superman let loose. It gets into some serious Man of Steel-level destruction, but I guess it's more acceptable because it's animated? I don't know. Not important right now. Everybody gets their day in the sun. My one complaint isn't actually with this episode; it's with season 5 as a whole. Darkseid only really shows up at the back half of the season, so when we see him get pounded into the dirt, it doesn't have as much payoff. If he was built up better, this episode may be a perfect 10.

I loved this season finale. One of the best Justice League Unlimited episodes I have ever seen. It's interesting how Superman unleashes his true power to fight Darkseid. This has to be the greatest fight Superman fight scene in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited history. Anyways, I don't know if it was just me or if everybody else could tell the difference too, but the voice actors in this episode sound extremely different from the voices of previous episodes. The voices actors are the same, but the voice actors for J'onn, Hawkgirl, Wonder Woman, Flash and many other reoccurring characters sound EXTREMELY different. It was a good season finale, but it just seems weird that the voices sound so different.
Our Hero....Lex Luthor?

This episode is a totally gratuitous send off for the wasted 3rd season of Justice League Unlimited.
The highlight of the series is Superman unleashing his power which lasts about a minute.
Unfortunately, the series really illustrated what became JLU's biggest problems: It's unrelenting busyness and its inability to remember what heroes are all about.
The idea of adding Supervillains is logical from one point but completely stupid from a video standpoint. There are already so many people in the league that you can't keep track of whose who.
And then the end. The world is saved by Lex Luthor while Superman is writhing on the ground in agony. Seriously?
