Both!

I prefer JL, Jonz does more in JL, without that third season of JLU there wouldn't be enough flash or even Jonz episode. I warmed to JLU concept and consider it both incarnations one show because the look, designs and voice acting are the same. episodes like The balance, to another shore, resolve character relationships and arcs. But I think expanding the cast worked for the retool I prefer the original 7,

Justice League Unlimited because it gave us Huntress and Question's relationship. Also, Black Canary and Green Arrow's relationship.

It gave us black canary and green arrow and made it like the comics, which is a good thing. The thing that holds JL/JLU back is that it isn't inspired by the 90s comics and media like BTAS and STAS were and even STAS is the defintive version of the character, it's like the Bryne version of the character, the depowered aspect makes it harder to compete with the other versions despite that being a very difficult part of the character, the fleshicers are considered superior. Along with changing brainac from being part of an alien species as it gives superman less tie ins to LOSH, The LOSH show on KIds WB by James tucker and micheal jelenic felt like the definitive version of the team as it was covering silver age in season 1 and bronze age in season 2. But STAS was pretty good as using kirby stuff, scifi esque adventures and finding there own spin brainiac(contradicts what i said earlier), it got cancelled just as it was getting into lois and supermans relationship. BUt back to JLU it feels more inspired by the 00s morrison which is why it isn't considered the definitve JL show but also the fact there was never a wonder woman show but I do like there take on WW and Hawkgirl instead of Hawkman but most media never use him well, The Batman had the more tradtional take on JL with there line up including Hal Jordan instead of John Stewart, Martain manhunter as a detective like the JL the new frontier and probably his early comic appearances. I guess what im saying is you cant please all the fans. ALso the DC live action and animated movies give off a what ifs better or direct adapations of the comics

Direct adaptions

Batman/Superman Public Enemies

Batman/Superman

Batman Year One

JL New Frontier

Batman Under The Red Hood

Batman The Killing Joke

Dark Knight Returns

All Star Superman

Almost direct adaptions but added stuff

Superman Vs the elite

Superman Red Son

Batman The Long Halloween

Batman Hush

Adapting storylines or characters with there own spin

Superman Doomsday

Wonder Woman

JL Doom

Green Lantern First Flight

Green Lantern Emerald Knights

Batman Gotham By Gaslight

Batman Soul of the dragon

JL Crisis On Infinite Earths

Original canon

JL VS Fatal Five

Batman and Harley Quinn

JL Gods and Monsters

Batman Gotham Knights

These are just the Bruce Timm ones, Besides maybe Spectacular Spiderman and Avengers EMH, finding the BTAS equivalent is nearly impossible. I will say I loved Gotham by Gaslight, JL Infinite Crisis(a rescripted JLU movie)

JL/JLU will always be the 5 season mega show , adapting the original seven and Green Arrow right. Secret Origins and Twilight remains my favorite premieres. It just felt the team missed some oppurtunities like having Kyle Rayner show up more or Nightwing (that was a batman embargo thing granted I couldn't see the BTAS characters in JLU, maybe Alfred) If it had a season 6 they would've rebranded it and I'm unsure which roster would use. I believe the Atom would work, I actually think trying to make the original 7 more prominent again like the JL infinity comic

Anyway I still perfer JL, JLU was anthology and you didnt know what you were getting each week. There LOSH episode was weak
