Justice League - 4th DVD skips 40 eps to bring you S2 Finale
Posted by David Lambert	1/10/2004


"When a Thanagarian force arrives and occupies Earth, Hawkgirl is torn between loyalty to her homeland and love of her adopted planet." That's the Cartoon-Network-supplied synopsis that's been floating around for the as-yet-unaired Justice League episode, "Starcrossed". This 3-part show will probably air on the Cartoon Network in February, wrapping up the exciting 2nd Season of the series. Fans are anticipating it, especially since a character named "Hro Talak" appears in it. The name is an anagram of "Katar Hol", which is the Thanagarian name of the classic DC Comics character Hawkman. In the comics, Hawkman and Hawkgirl (Hawkwoman) hail from the planet Thanagar, are "policemen" there, and chase a criminal to Earth, where they then stay and have adventures. Hro Talak is supposed to be representative of the Hawkman character, without committing quite yet in the televised series to the actual classic hero who, in the comics, eventually joined the Justice League of America. Hro Talak will be voiced by perennial guest star Victor Rivers, who has been seen or heard as visiting characters on shows such as Remington Steele, Miami Vice, Hunter, The Flash, Brisco County Jr., Deep Space Nine, JAG, Batman Beyond, Nash Bridges, C.S.I.: Miami, and 24. He was last seen in a bit part on the big-screen version of the Hulk. For months, we here at TVShowsOnDVD have been hearing talk of a Justice League: Starcrossed DVD that was already in prep, even while the episode itself was still in the post-production phases. At first we didn't give much credit to the information, because when compared to the first three DVD releases of Justice League - which start at the beginning of the series and continue in order from there - it would mean that Warner Home Video would be skipping 40 episodes on DVD to bring you "Starcrossed" so quickly. But, though Warner hasn't actually announced it yet, we can doubt it no more. Besides getting confirmation from multiple sources of an April release for the Justice League: Starcrossed DVD, Amazon has now put the item up for pre-order! Cover art, specs, and extras are all missing at this time (though an illustration below could be the proposed cover art for the release; we're not sure yet). The SRP for this disc is $19.98, and the exact street date we've heard from retail sources - which Amazon agrees with - is Tuesday, April 27th. Stay tuned, and we'll have more for you about this when the official announcement comes through.
