A really fun episode.
In this episode Cheetah steals Wonder Woman's magic lasso, Brianiac steals Green Lantern's power ring and Scarecrow steals Batman and Robin's utility belts. They are then teleported to the Legion of Doom's headquarters where they are put on trial by the Legion of Doom with Lex Luthor as judge. Things are made worse by the fact that our heroes were protecting the liquid light in the Astro-Chemical Research Plant. While the trial is going on some other members of the Legion of Doom steal this liquid light and put the whole Earth in danger. The rest of the Super Friends must protect the world before the liquid light destroys much of it.
This is such a fun episode that perfectly shows why I love these types of corny superhero stories so much fun. The idea that the Legion of Doom puts them on trial for trying to uphold the law is simply really funny. I love how after Batman says that everything, they are on trial for is perfectly within the law, Lex Luthor states, "your laws." The complete nonsense of this and just how much the villains are enjoying this trial is a joy to watch. I especially love Grodd's line of "so help you Grodd." The punishments for each of the Super Friends are very creative. They also lead to some great and very atmospheric background art that is wonderful to look at. The action scenes here are very exciting and there is even a good deal of suspense in them.
This is simply a very fun episode that shows just why I love this show so much.
This episode originally aired with The New Super Friends episode, The Pied Piper From Space (1978)
