  • If J'onn is so weakened and reverts out of his Mongul shape...shouldn't he revert to his true Martian form? Instead he shifts to his more humanoid/earthling form - but that's just as much an assumed form as the "Mongul" shape. edit »
  • For some reason, when Mongul says, "The people have spoken" and cancels Superman's death sentence, the background crowd behind him "flickers" in a very odd manner. They don't move slightly but they literally flicker through several entirely different frames of different patterns. They don't do this in any subsequent shots. edit »
  • So how long does the charge on GL's ring last? In the comics it used to be 24 hours, but then why didn't he bring the recharger (a "power battery" shaped like a lantern - the one we see in the opening credits) along with him? Was he expecting the rescue to take no more than 24 hours? And indeed it does seem like more than 24 hours have passed judging by the activities over the course of the two episodes. edit »
  • So the Guardians of the Universe give John a power ring that lets him fly interstellar distances, but don't give him any way to navigate?!? So why is he so useless here when it comes to getting around in space that they have to "hitch a ride"? This becomes even sillier in future episodes when we see that GL can clearly fly vast interstellar differences based on something as casual as Kilowog saying "They've got Kat" (in "Hearts and Minds"), or a verbal description by Hawkgirl (in "Comfort and Joy"). edit »
  • No offense to the uber-cool Hawkgirl, but how likely is it she could take out a planet-destroying blast with her electro-mace? edit »
  • This episode along with "Paradise Lost, Part 1 and 2" and "War World, Part 1" was released on DVD as Justice League: Paradise Lost. edit »
  • According to Bruce Timm, the original draft of the script had Superman defeat Mongul, similar to how he defeated Darkseid. This was changed to Dragaa fighting Mongul to resolve his story. edit »
  • Batman, the Flash, and Wonder Woman do not appear in this episode. edit »
  • Hawkgirl: Great – take his side.
    Green Lantern: I’m not taking his side. I’m just saying…
    Hawkgirl: I’m wrong again!
    Alien Pilot: Uh, do you two want a little privacy? edit »
  • Hawkgirl: What a dump!
    Green Lantern: I’ve seen worse.
    Hawkgirl: I bet. edit »
  • Alien Old Woman: I got to admit, he’s a real champ.
    J’onn: He’s more then that – he’s a Superman! edit »
  • Superman: The truest test of honor isn't how you die - it's how you live. edit »
  • Green Lantern: (after finding an alien pin-up calendar) One man's trash is another man's treasure. edit »
