Rewatching these in 2022 I was originally under the impression that JLU was an upgrade from JL. And in some ways it is. I love the expanded cast, the show becoming more of a general DC superhero show rather than just a JL one but also making sure to maintain stories for the main cast. And the direction and action continued to improve.
However with that change, and the change to more single episode stories I feel like some of the brilliant character depth and stories are lost from the previous series due to having less time to build things out. Still some absolutely stupendous writing and directing.
