The Terrific Trio is great. Magma is my favorite. He's a gigantic walking Volcano with an attitude because he can't be with the woman he loves. He definitely has the same complex that The Thing has. I would too if I was a human Volcanic Rock. Batman gets to take a little break from saving everyone and the Terrific Trio shows why most super heros are independantly wealthy and self-supportive because the government has their own plans with super heros. The Terrific Trio was governmently funded and then SHUT DOWN just like any other project that either gives them trouble or loses funding. They attacked the Terrific Trio!!! They could've tried to help them but instead they just tried to eliminate them. Thanks Government.
In this episode these other heroes known as the terrific trio come to gotham and well do what heroes do. they were all turned into heroes by accident. I think that they just ripped off the fantastic 4 in this episode. Butmarvel comics aren't my favorite i like DC better so it doesn't really matter. They have 2 dimensional man, Magma, and this other girl who is like mist. I liked it in this episode when terry and matt are out in the mall and matt says that the terrific trio has nothing on batman and terry offers to buy him ice cream and matt says why are you being so nice? This was a good episode not the best but still not the worst. later...
FREON:an insubstantail ice queen who cannot touch her boyfriend (magma)
2D MAN:Wearing a copy of elongated man`s outfit and having his powers pretty much
After some success beating criminals and suplating batman as gotham`s defenders the new heroes discover that there more to the business than the adulation of the masses .
Turns out the radiation that gave them there powers is also slowly killing them.There goverment handlers have been keeping that information from them. They quickly turn very unheroic and threaten the city,Magma and co activate there atomic device again knowing that this time it could destroy the city.
There friend advises against it .He admits his love for freon caused him to sabotage the device hoping to kill magma and get the girl.
Batsy must defeat the trio before gotham glows in the dark.
A kind of relatistic version of the fantastic four.
The radiation ,source of many super powers actually causes there cells to breaks down(real science??in a cartoon)
The heroes are minipulated by the goverment and others
As a fan of comic books, i know when i see a rip off- but The Terrific Trio? This is so blatant they might as well be holding as sign saying "we are the fantastic 4" jumping up and down screamin "dont look at us". if it was the actually fantastic four, i wouldnt have minded the episode- but becaue it is the The Terrific Trio it just p***ed me off. The story was very predictable. i was supried that DC or whoever made this sunk so low to copy others. they should think some new stuff up and get on with it. 5 out of 10
just like it says in my classification field, this was one of the better written episodes in that neither Terry nor Bruce had all the answers. it was a bit sad to see how the "terrific trio" turned on each other but it seemed as if it was enviatable and i guess as the episode showed it was.
