Welcome to the 166th edition of Adventure(s) Time, where we examine beloved animated series and their comic cousins. This week, we explore another Justice League Unlimited episode showcasing the fan-favorite conspiracy kook the Question, and an issue of the tie-in comic with intriguing similarities. (A conspiracy, perhaps?) And if you have any suggestions for the future, please let me know on Twitter.Debuting on June 25, 2005, “Question Authority” is a highlight of not only this series but the interconnected DC Animated Universe. Writer Dwayne McDuffie and director Dan Riba are on top of their game here, balancing a story with a varied cast and dramatic shifts in tone. Kicking off a four-part season finale arc, “Question Authority” raises the temperature on the big government/big business cabal known as Cadmus’ ongoing feud with the League.The opening sequence pits Superman and Captain Atom against Mantis, a villain from Jack Kirby’s Fourth World mythology, who’s doing a somewhat generic “rampage through the streets” bit in Metropolis. He’s taken care of quickly enough, leaving Superman free to go on a date with Lois Lane, and Captain Atom in a surprise meeting with his one-time superior, General Eiling. This plays as an echo of a previous episode “Clash,” which opens with colorful, low-stakes superhero action to introduce an increasingly dark and more complex story.
