Reviews
Between Two Armies
Filmation did justice to the Justice League in ways (character and background designs, voice performances, music scores, sound effects, etc.) Hanna-Barbera could never match, and even today Filmation's DC Superheroes compare nicely with the always-superb film work of Alan Burnett, Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and company at Warner Brothers animation.
Among Filmation's strongest entries was this 1967 TV short debuting the Guest Superheroes segment of Aquaman. Bud Collyer gives voice to The Man Of Steel and is aided by fellow superheroes Green Lantern (Gerald Mohr), Hawkman (Vic Perrin), The Flash (Cliff Owens), and The Atom (Pat Harrington, Jr.).
Two races of the planet Mercury - the Rockmen and the Crystalmen - are at war. The Rockmen have devised a scheme to explode the planet's central power orb to win the war, a scheme that will explode Mercury itself and wipe out the solar system.
But first the Rockmen must stop a pursuing Crystal ship via a weapons test that brings a bombardment of meteors to Earth and the intervention of the JLA.
When Hawkman, Flash, and Atom learn of the Rockmen's plot, Superman goes after the Rockmen and Green Lantern flies to Mercury, with Hawkman standing by to stop the Rockmen should their scheme go through in any event.
