The series is recent enough that its iterations of these characters have held onto their popularity, but old enough that these same characters have been benched and most certainly forgotten. Luckily, through its one-off stories centered around heroes beloved and obscure, Justice League Unlimited makes DC canon more accessible and less daunting. It's unreasonable to expect everyone and their moms to recognize B-Listers such as Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, etc. Now, the superhero craze has reached a feverish new high, which is fantastic for comic nuts but overwhelming for casual fans. Then, it was much easier to keep track of hero and villain rosters, ongoing rivalries, etc. Heroes such as Booster Gold, Hawk and Dove, Zatanna, and Question are thrust into the limelight, while dusty, underused troublemakers such as Amazo, Mordru, Chronos, and Granny Goodness get some love, too.
The show owes much of its quality to its anthological structure, which allowed the series to introduce a slew of lesser-known heroes and villains efficiently and effectively. Justice League Unlimited is one of DC's finest animated shows, but for reasons that separate it from what came before and what would follow.
