The season wraps up with:
- ...another teamup. This time, it's the Superman Revenge Squad in "Hereafter". It's basically "The Death of Superman" storyline.
- The team is Toyman (Corey Burton), Live Wire, Weather Wizard (Burton again), Kalibak (Michael Dorn), and Metallo (Burton yet again)
- There's a big fight, and it appears that Superman sacrifices himself to save the rest of the League (Batman doesn't believe it)
- The funeral is a huge event, of course. We get cameos from Alfred (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) and Lois Lane (Dana Delany), as well as Jimmy, Perry, Ma and Pa Kent, Barbara Gordon, every hero we've seen on the series, and Supergirl in disguise. We get the black armbands. Lex says he will miss the big guy. Bruce even says a few words. It's all very well done.
- Lobo (Brad Garrett) comes in to join the League, and is refused. Meanwhile, the villains try to take over--many of whom just say "arrgh" so they don't have to bring in the voice actors. Lobo gets to "help out".
- Of course, Supes isn't dead--just sent to the far future where there's a red sun--so he's powerless. He takes a car (which was also transported), does some driving, and spends a long time there (he now has a beard). Actually, he does quite well.
- Finally, he finds the crashed Watchtower and runs into Vandal Savage--he lived all this time. He was the one who ended civilization. The two of them finish a time machine and Supes goes back to stop Savage.
- There's a reference to "white dwarf matter" and Ray Palmer (The Silver Age Atom), whom Supes has to save.
- The last shot is a future society fading into view in front of Savage.
- ...a Christmas break for the team in "Comfort and Joy".
- It's what you would call a "very special episode"
- GL and Hawkgirl have a snowball fight on another world, then visit her favorite alien bar. Of course, she starts a fight there, just for fun.
- Flash helps out some orphan kids find a special toy. Unfortunately, he runs into Ultra-Humanite (Ian Buchanan). The villain calls a truce for the holiday, and they go back to the orphanage with the toy.
- Clark and J'onn hang out with the Kents (Mike Farrell and Shelley Fabares), who explain they had to wrap little Clark's presents in lead foil (they still do).
- J'onn learns the true spirit of Christmas--Oreos! Oh yeah, and good will to men...
- ...a trip to Vegas in "Wild Cards". Joker's running a reality show with lives literally at stake.
- Joker is the host of course, and Harley Quinn (Arleen Sorkin) is the sideline reporter
- The Royal Flush Gang, a classic DC villain team with a playing card theme, keep the League's hands busy. We even get an "up close and personal" origin story for them.
- We see a number of "theme" hotels on the Vegas strip, all with bombs in them, which the team has to defuse. One of the hotels is the "Amos Fortune" resort (a reference to yet another JL villain).
- Joker's has an ace in the hole - "Ace" (Hynden Walch) can broadcast insanity over the airwaves, and the big Vegas fight gave her a huge television audience. Even the League can't resist her. Of course, Joker is immune since he's already insane.
- Batman saves the day, turning Ace against the villain--he ends up catatonic
- We FINALLY come to some closure on the GL/Hawkgirl flirtation
- ...an epic alien battle in "Starcrossed". Thanagarians--Hawkgirl's race--show up to help when other generic aliens attack Earth.
- The theme of the warlike Thanagarians has shown up in the DCU since the 1980's
- We learn that Hawkgirl was a spy for them, and that she's betrothed to their leader (Victor Rivers), who offers Earth their help
- The other heroes try to help GL through all of this--Batman's not the best at a heart to heart
- Batman also figures out the aliens who attacked first were actually DOA--it's a double cross!
- The Thanagarians quickly take over the planet
- The League has to go incognito--as their secret identities. Flash argues against this, since they haven't exposed themselves to each other yet. Batman's response: "Wally West, Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne".
- There's a great scene when Bruce and Diana have to kiss in order to blend in. Diana: "Sorry" Bruce: "Don't be"
- Hawkgirl finally switches sides, giving the team secret plans at the Batcave
- After battles aplenty, Batman rams the the Watchtower into the bad guy's super-weapon on Earth and blows it up
- In the end, Hawkgirl quits the League before they vote to kick her out--and leaves GL behind (sniff!)
