Say Hello to the future Justice League
Rcwilkinson12310 October 2007
Show favorites Green Arrow (introduced this season), Aquaman (introduced in Season 5), "Impulse" (Season 4), and Cyborg (Season 5) all come together, along with Clark, to stop one of Lex's evil plans in this thrilling mid-season episode.

Through his sophisticated technology, Green Arrow learns that Lex Luthor is constructing laboratories across the world that hold people induced by the meteor substance kryptonite and people with abilities to run tests on. Green Arrow over the past months has allied Arthur Curry (Aqua), Bart Allen (Impulse) and Victor Stone (Cyborg) to stop Lex and destroy these facilities. After recruiting Clark to help, the team puts on quite a show in interrogating and destroying a local laboratory.

This episode is incredible. Full of action, humor, and fabulous dialog, it feels more like a movie. It is full of entertainment and provides as a springboard for the most interesting storyline of the sixth season.

The Beginning of a Saga
claudio_carvalho5 May 2008
Chloe is mysteriously saved from Dr. Caselli, the corrupt doctor responsible for transferring patients with abilities from Belle Reve to Project 33.1, and a fraction of second later Clark arrives. He finds that Bart Allan has returned to Smallville and they meet each other in Kent Farm. When Bart is captured by Lex during a break-in in a LuthorCorp's facility, Clark discovers that the Green Arrow had also hired Bart (a.k.a. Impulse), Arthur Curry (Aquaman) and Victor Stone (Cyborg) to investigate the Project 33.1. Clark accepts to join the trio to save Bart and invites Chloe to participate of their mission.

"Justice" is the best episode so far of this 6th Season. In this episode, the Justice League begins its saga with the association of five heroes: Clark, Green Arrow, The Flash ("Impulse"), Aquaman and Cyborg. The participation of Chloe is spectacular, completing the necessary organization to the teamwork. In the end, Oliver breaks up with Lois based on the importance of fighting against criminals and Lex's secret laboratories around the world. My vote is ten.

Title (Brazil): "Justiça" ("Justice")

BEst Smallville Episode YET!!
aurorahx37 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I loved this episode. It is so great that all 5 of them team up and stop LutherCorp and save the world. I also love this episode because Kyle Gallner (Bart Allen/Impulse) and Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen/Green Arrow) are guest starring in it!!! I just hope that Clark will join the Justice League and we'll get to follow this group of heroes across the globe!! =)It was really exciting and keeps viewers interested because of what will happen next. I think Chloe should also join the team as Watchtower, that would be such a coool thing for her to do besides the Daily Planet because she doesn't have super powers. Also, I want to find out what types of subjects Lex is going to use for 33.1, I wonder what other types of powers other people in the world have!!!

Justice
Colcatron11 April 2011
For any comic book fan, Justice has to be the closest thing to a dream episode. Everything you'd want to see is here. A return for all of the Justice League characters already introduced in the past 3 seasons. The Flash (aka Impulse), Cyborg, Aqua Man, and of course The Green Arrow, and for the first time ever it brought all the characters together with Clark. We also get to see Lex Luthor as close to a full fledged villain as he's been shown yet. Thankfully of the Justice League characters, Green Arrow and Flash/Impulse receive more screen time than the still slightly dull Cyborg and still annoying and poorly acted Aqua Man. When the team comes together in action for the first time however, it feels straight out of a comic book.

Tom Welling does a much better job in "Justice" his second time directing after last seasons boring "Fragile". While many Smallville episodes cop out on the action, this one goes all out, and also features the most iconic single shot since Clark hung in the corn fields in the Pilot. Watch for it with the explosion in the background.

All in all, an exciting episode for any Smallville, Superman, or CD comic books fan. 2nd best of the season as well, behind only the finale.

Great acting, good story, nice prelude to ending
jennyxj0910 March 2007
This is a reunion, a team, and a great episode of Justice. From hesitation to resolution, Clark has made a important leap from a troubled teenager who was afraid of a controlled destiny, to a Superman who, like Green Arrow, sets aside his emotions to his few loved ones, ready to save the whole planet. This is not just a thrilling story about teamwork, loyalty, and friendship; this is also about deciding what's more important in life, a lesson for Clark. I do not want the series to end, but I hope the ensuing episodes will strictly stick to what Justice shows without any "rewind" pushes and put a good end here of Smallville---and a wonderful beginning of Superman.

In this episode, however, we should have seen more contrast between Lex and the Team. Nine stars should give it enough credit.

A Little Rushed But...
rjaymolina19 February 2007

I really enjoyed this episode. Seeing The Flash, Cyborg, Green Arrow, and Aquaman (even though all he did was swim) made my eyes widen. To see most of the founders of the Justice League trying to bring down Lex Luthor is what i've been waiting for. This sounds a bit off topic, but making a live action Justice League show would definitely make me have a reason to shove everything that i usually do during the week down the drain just to watch one episode. This is the thrill i got from watching this episode. I wish they had made this episode a little longer, like a two hour special, because i felt that one hour of the Justice League wasn't enough. Now before i bore you (unless i already have with my rambling) i just want to say, Smallville is cool again. It sort of lost its touch when the show started focusing on Lana. But i'm sure the writers will just fall back into that loop hole. :( So enjoy this episode. Who knows when another good one's going to come out. Catch it again this Thursday, Feb. 22, if you missed the first airing.

I guess all the other superhero cameos and storylines all led to this amazing episode, and damn, it was worth it! A dream for ANY real DC fan! The explosion scene was a bit cheesy and bit over the top haha, but can't wait for more Justice team-ups like this one - like they said, this is only the beginning and when Clark is gonna be ready to join...hell yeah! 😁

It's my 3rd favourite episode of smallville
stupidorrange9 June 2019
This episode was literally one of the best episodes on any television series. I would rather watch this than the crappy DCEU Justice League. The acting was the Amazing every character acted phenomenally. The storyline was the best smallville storyline ever and the results were epic. The reason this wasn't my 2nd favourite or favourite is because it didn't have all the members of the justice league. If it had all the members of the justice league like batman and more it would be my favourite episode. Overall this is a great episode Highly recommend you to watch this

Excellent episode although a little cheesy!!!!
sef_payne23 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This particular episode of Smallville is probably the best episode to air since reunion. This is for many reasons. For example, it takes the series back to some of it's roots. It welcomes back Lionel from a supposedly long absence, with the Luthorcorp plaza office in Metropolis. This room hasn't been in smallville for a very long time, and seeing it again brings back many memories from the smallville's past. Not to mention, Lionels conversations with Lex are always admirable.

Another pleasant return is, well uv guessed it, is Bart Allen(aka Impulse), AC(aka Aquaman) and Victor Stone(aka Cyborg). Not only does Steven Deknight reunite the former justice leaguers, he blends them in with the Smallville formula in such a unique way, that it almost feels like it is a feature length movie.

From there you get the basic story, Green Arrow forms the league, attempts to blow up 33.1, Bart gets captured, Clark saves him, and the facility is blown to kingdom com. All is good and graceful, with a good mix of stealth, action, pace and suspense. Oh, and Cyborg has some cool new upgrades true to the justice league character :).

The music is probably what makes this episode work so well. If you remember correctly, the first episode Steven Deknight directed was Agless from Season 4. This was a mediocre episode, but something felt out of place. maybe it was the music, or the acting, or the fact clark sais at the end "we didn't find you, you found us", kind of made people lose faith in the formula. But thankfully Steve Deknight redeemed himself in this Justice episode.

I had a few quivvles about Justice that made it fall short of the full 10. First of all, the far too cheesy exit of the justice league from the Ridge facility expolsion. I mean it would have been soo much cooler if say Green Arrow and Cyborg took off on Oliver's bike (rememeber from the arrow episode). Clark and Impulse should have obviously ran, and aquaman should have swam via another route. But that was soo incredibly cheesy, it nocked off 2 points from the full 10.

Secondly, another cheesy moment, not as bad as the first, but when Green Arrow sais "let's go save the world". That made me cringe. All in all, judging by the acting performances, music, direction and production values, the pros do outweigh the cons, and this is still one of the best episodes in smallville history, and maybe the 2nd best episode in season 6.

A turning point in Smallville's history.
m-4782621 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The moment the show fully embraced its corniness, and became more targeted to kids and men child. If Lex's only evil plan, is to capture and study « meteor freaks », then they officially failed at making him a worthy villain. And his father is becoming annoying, thinking he's a member of the Kent family now. Subterranean was obviously a waste of time and Hydro was fun for having Tori Spelling in a bad guy's role, as well as Lana growing more suspicious of her former friends. But Justice is where I draw the line. I thought it was boring, childish and cringeworthy. The actors were acting like cartoon characters most of the episode, and really, the only good scene was Lois and Oliver's teary goodbyes, with the Greg Laswell song on the back. Sorry, this simply is not my cup of tea.
