Justice League is an American animated television series that aired on Cartoon Network from November 17, 2001, to May 29, 2004.[1] Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the show is based on the Justice League of America and other characters from DC Comics. Featuring an ensemble of superheroes, it serves as a continuation of Batman: The Animated Series (including The New Batman Adventures) and Superman: The Animated Series, while acting as a prequel to Batman Beyond. It is the seventh installment of the DC Animated Universe (DCAU).

The series follows the Justice League, consisting of iconic heroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Hawkgirl, as they unite to defend Earth from various threats. With its focus on teamwork and complex narratives, the series delves into themes of heroism, sacrifice, and moral dilemmas.

Filming for Justice League primarily took place through voice recordings and animation production, involving multiple studios. The show originally aired for 2 seasons before being succeeded by Justice League Unlimited, which ran for three additional seasons, expanding on the original concept by introducing a larger roster of heroes.

Justice League received widespread critical acclaim for its mature storytelling, animation quality, and character development, becoming a staple in superhero animation. It also earned numerous accolades, including Annie Award nominations for its outstanding animated production. The show continues to be regarded as one of the best-animated superhero series of its time, contributing significantly to the legacy of the DCAU.
