Of all the new JLU who is your favorite?
Mine is definatly the Question. His character is so badass, not to mention hilarious. My second would be the Cowboy who always beats serious ass.
One problem, I know nothing about either of these guys. So if any of you know some background I would appreciate a post.

J'Onn has been a favorite of mine since the 80's, and I have really taken to both Captain Marvel and Booster Gold in the series, as they are pretty great adaptations of those characters... real spot-on. Same goes for Green Arrow and Wildcat.
I had never been one for the Question, but I enjoyed him and Huntress together in the Double Date episode, so he's really become cool to me.
As for the background players, I'm still waiting for action scenes and dialogue from Hourman, Stargirl, Gyspy, and Aztek (all whom I NEVER thought I'd see in cartoons.

Question was bought by DC (along with Blue Beetle and Captain Atom) from Charlton Comics. He has a new series out by DC Comics, and currently resides in Metropolis.
Vigilante was a member of the original Seven Soliders of Victory (along with Shining Knight and Star-Spangled Kid), and they were lost in time for awhile in the 40's or 50's until rescued by the JLA in the 80's or so. He was last seen in Grant Morrison's NEW 7 Soldiers (#0, where it didn't go so well for him).

I would have to go with Question. I think the conspiracy nut angle is very interesting and they make him pretty much the most badass member of the team. In this season I would say that he is trumping Batman for the badass award.
Then again, Captain Marvel and Black Canary are both right up there. Damn, this is hard. :D

I like the Question. He's one of my favorite DC characters. I was so happy they used him in this show. And nearly every other DC character.
Any reason why Blue Beetle hasn't been used? I kind of figured why they can't show Plastic Man. But the Blue Beetle rights can't be in that much demand.

DC never owned the movie/TV rights to Blue Beetle. Some other company owns those rights, acquired when they leased the character in the 80s before DC bought the Charleton group.
I speculate that this lack of movie/TV rights is related to the recent comic book development of the Blue Beetle character.
I'm a huge fan of 2nd and 3rd tier heroes (and sometimes lower). So, I love seeing Vixen and Gypsy and all those underused characters on the show. I'm really glad that Vixen and Captain Marvel have been such prominent characters on the show.
My favorite would have to be Shining Knight. I loved him in Task Force X.

Vigilante and the Shining Knight. It's so nice they were able to find true love together.

Green Arrow. Ollie's just the coolest.
Close seconds would be Aquaman (bring back the orange shirt!) and Flash.

I'm gonna have to go with everyone's favorite Lone Gunman type, the Question. His "subtle" method of breaking into the secure area in the Power Girl episode ranks as one of the best JLA/U moments ever.

I have a really hard time trying to choose between Steel and Green Arrow. But I also really like Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman.

ROTFL, that was pretty sweet. Although I found the moment when that Cab driver turned around and noticed the guy he was talking to had no face was the high point of that episode.

If you've been watching the episodes on Cartoon Network, then the Question's best moment is still yet to come. I don't want to spoil anything, but lets just say that Question gets a lot closer to what Steve Ditko intended for the character than the comics have gotten for a while. The episode is 210--Question Authority.
