Yeah, “The Savage Time” is simply perfect. If all that’s not enough, imagine Superman, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern flying with the Blackhawks to kick some Nazi ass. Seriously, when the League returns to the present after Savage is defeated, Wonder Woman goes to a military rest home and finds an elderly Trevor. “The Savage Time” is a gripping three-parter that’s part tribute to the great works of such creators as Russ Heath, Will Eisner, Joe Kubert, and Robert Kanigher and part exploration of one of comics’ greatest romances.
Trevor and Diana fall in love in the past as their legendary romance plays out in animated form but with a time travel twist. “Injustice for All”Īnyway, during the chaos of the past, Wonder Woman meets a US airman named Steve Trevor so get the hankies and violins ready. These early episodes of Justice League, while not as completely wrapped up in DCU fan service as Justice League Unlimited was, showcase the team dynamic in a way that often reminds me of Star Trek: The Next Generation more than a show about superheroes. Rather than an exercise in nostalgia, “Legends” becomes something akin to a Twilight Zoneepisode with its story, but its character interplay recalls another show. The beauty of “Legends” isn’t just how it lovingly parallels the JSA with these characters, but in the curveball it throws us. Of course, we were wrong, but we’ll get to that. And make no mistake, the Green Guardsman and the Streak were the closest we ever thought we’d get to seeing Alan Scott or Jay Garrick on our screens. OK, so it’s not quite the Justice Society, rather the “Justice Guild of America.” But when “Legends” aired, it was by far the closest to an Earth-2 story we had ever seen on TV before.
