(Spoilers included)

This was a great episode. The opening with Dr. Fate was pretty cool, but not that special. The rest of the episode on the other hand, was one of the best ones yet. After a very brief fight with Cavalier, Batman is taken to space in order to help Guy Gardner, Sinestro and G'Nort defeat Despero. Despero's design wasn't that cool. But he was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, who of course provides a very dark, powerful voice to the baddie. Sinestro was cool, but come on, we all knew he would turn against his team in the end. Guy Gardner and G'Nort, didn't bother me at all. I expected them to be very annoying. But they weren't. G'Nort was awesome, and hilarious. Guy Gardner got, as John Witherspoon would've put it, knocked the...you know the rest. This was the funniest part, and showed that Batman has zero tolerance towards his whining.

Batman's GL suit, how should I describe it? Hmmm, shall I use the word "awesome" perhaps? Yeah, that seems fitting, okay, it was AWESOME! But really, G'Nort stole the show. I would've liked to see more teamwork in the episode. But oh well. Next week...ah, man, it's the Terrible Trio. Will they finally be featured in an episode that's actually good? Who knows? Find out next week.moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- The scene where Batman single-handedly lays out Guy Gardner commemorates a popular event in comics history. In Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis' Justice League (1987) series, issue #5, a hot-tempered Guy challenges Bats only to be struck down in a sole blow. Two particular differences are that Guy stayed down much longer than mere seconds, and G'Nort repeating "One punch" actually quotes Blue Beetle(Ted Kord), who witnessed comics' shortest fight with Mr. Miracle.
