Quite good. Joker is always fun, and this one was especially over the top. A better "humor" ep than Eclipsed, IMHO.
Eowyn: And Harley Quinn is always fun.
Oh, and its nice that they advance the Hawkgirl/GL romance. . . two eps before
Liked the ep, especially Grodd. Everything else has been said.
One comment, though: Grodd isn't only thinking of who he use against the JL, but also who is safe to bring onboard, and isn't going to either usurp him or try and kill their teammates.
Hawkgirl's mace probably is a creation of science. It was just created with magic in mind, from the time the Thanagarians kicked Cthulhu out.
IOW, a parallel to what the ancient Atlanteans did.
Theory on why Hawkgirl's mace was so effective against the forces of Cthulhu ( and magic in general ):
The Thanagarians basically kicked Cthulhu off their planet, right?? Now, how do you think they would do that??
By creating weapons capable of beating "him" and his magical powers. Kinda...
Very good ep. Not perfect, but definitely up to snuff for second season.
Comments:
-Finally, some Hawkgirl background!! Not what I expected, thats for sure. . .
-Aquaman is his usual self. Definitely pretty badass.
-Solomon Grundy origin story and focus. Damn, completely...
Superman's costume reminded me of Mr Majestic, another WSU Superman analogue.
Who, btw, is replacing Superman in his own comic for a couple months, or so I heard.
Impression I got was the mace was absorbing some of the charge.
I think that was left deliberately untold, since they may deal with the possibility of the Flash dying in a future ep.
Again, I think this was left deliberately unstated, so as to leave room for future plots. Also, the idea that...
Most of my thoughts have already been said. Overall, great episode.
-Is it just me, or when Amazo became Golden Amazo, did he just mimick a *star*??
-Amazo is almost certainly going to appear again. Friend or foe, I know not, but simple force ain't gonna be enough to beat him.
The only reason why I'm leery about animated Darkseid having that ability is because it would imply he could bring Turpin back to life.
I do *NOT* want there to be even the chance of undoing them episode.
JackApostrophe: Sorry, I'm just thinking about how awesome the end of "In Darkest Night" is
JackApostrophe: Ahhhhhhhhhh
WashuWorshipper: Heh
WashuWorshipper: I wasn't a big fan of that ep
WashuWorshipper: OTOH, it was still better than Secret Origins
JackApostrophe: The rest of the episode...
Here's some brainstorming I and some other people did in chat.
WashuWorshipper: In any case, alot of me wishes they'd just make a Young Justice cartoon instead, rather than forcing the Wolfman/Perez Titans into being something they weren't
LeviathanmanZ200: Quick funny fact: in the "Mythos"...
I'm willing to bet their going to tear the heart out of her origin story.
Then again, I'm just bitter about their casual mixing of Wolfman/Perez Titans with Young Justice tones, when they should have just made a YJ:TAS in the first place.
( and I spent a large portion of this afternoon...
Huntress would be pointless in a JL ep. Superboy would be rather redundant, IMHO, with Supergirl around. That Catwoman costume is terrible.
And Doomsday would almost certainly not be done well, though its theoretically possible.
Other than that, I like your ideas.
Well, to be fair, probably all the JL new of Darkseid, and at least a little of what happened. Its tough to not notice invasions, after all.
OTOH, Batman is the most likely one to actually study up on and recall all the info about him and what he did ( aside from Superman, anyway ).
If Timm made it, would you watch it?? Would it have any chance of being good??
Oh, and I also had a thought for a *really* surreal crossover: Justice League/Samurai Jack.
Lets see, more comments:
-Regarding the Superman vs Darkseid fight, keep in mind that Darkseid had already spent some time duking it out with his son Orion.
-I think part of the reason the New Gods work so well here is because the Timmverse is very stylized, and Kirby's artwork fits...
Okay, it looks like I get to go first.
YAHOO!!
Darkseid is as evil as ever. Superman gets a better appearance, better lines and voice acting, and gets to kick ass without forgetting about his powers. Brainiac shows up as one major league powerhouse. We get to see more of the New...
If superheroes had "victories" like that in Legacy more often, there wouldn't be many super heroes.
By brainwashing Superman, Darkseid took away the worlds trust in him.
By "losing" to Superman, he took away Superman's on trust that good wins in the end.
He moved War World, but IIRC, he had several temporary power-ups going at the time. On more than one other occasion, Superman needed help just to move the moon.
In any case, Darkseid is usually portrayed as quite a good deal more durable than Supes, at least when not in a Superman comic.
I don't know about that.
In any case, while animated characters are a question, the comic versions definitely would survive. Actually, Darkseid ( when he's not being massively jobbed ) probably wouldn't even feel a nuclear blast point blank.
IIRC, somebody figured out the order of infection, and it made perfect sense.
1. Superman- directly exposed to a megadose of the virus
2. Flash- directly present at the attack on Superman; accelerated metabolism kicked it into effect early
3. GL- directly present at attack; slower...
Batman has probably the strongest no-killing code of the bunch.
As for whether they should be willing to or not, I think that they should perhaps follow the lead of the Avengers: trying to minimize loss of life, but willing to kill if absolutely necessary.
As for all those "bigger"...
Hmm. . .
Maybe they should re-use that design, or something similar, if they ever need Batman to make/haul out some kind of Bat Armor. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be powered armor there, but it would be cool if it was.
For those who think that *everybody* parachuted to safety:
Remember those scenes where the transports were being loaded with troops and war wheels??
Remember the scenes later where said planes were being blown up??
Put two and two together.
