Reception
The show has been well received by fans and critics, many comparing it to Batman: The Animated Series because of its darker tones, complex writing and storyboarding, and in-depth characterization. The show holds an 8.6/10 on the Internet Movie Database the second best DCAU ranking second only to Batman: The Animated Series.
There was some initial controversy over the inclusion of John Stewart as Green Lantern instead of Kyle Rayner, who had previously been established as Earth's lantern in Superman: The Animated Series. It was felt that this substitution, which was later explained as Kyle being sent to OA for training (despite the rule at the time having been established as one lantern from each sector), was done to have John serve as the League's Green Lantern.
In January 2009, IGN named Justice League Unlimited as the 20th best animated television series of all time second only to Batman: The Animated Series which was placed at #2 once again as the best ranking of the DCAU series.
