It's definitely better.   The scripts are more in-depth and each one has
allowed the characters to develop on an individual basis.  The writing is
decent, and the animation isn't hard on the eyes but at the same time looks
cool enough to keep the viewer interested in what they're watching.  So even
if the script sucks there are other factors there that can keep someone from
changing the channel.

I asked this same question; the response I got was that in the comics,
that's just what she does.

Because he's a loner and the other JL members think he smells like fish.

He joined the Kiwanis club but they voted him out after he refused to wear a
shirt to their meetings.
