scans_dailyThis week, the team gots a new member as they go out to look for Red Tornado, who appeared to be brainwashed and captured several weeks back, ony to run into problems on an apocalyptic scale.
Really, really liked this episode. A nice look into the character of Red tornado and his family, as well as the introduction of an awesome (though brief) villain and a great new teammate in the form of... Zatanna! And people who disliked the protrayals of M'gann and Artemis should like Zee, hopefullly, 'cause she's awesome! They do a really good job at explaining her personality, her relationship with her father, interactions with the team and what her powerset is like. The fact that they actually went through the trouble of explaining why her just saying "pots nialliv tolp won!" was kind of cool.
And for those people complaining that a team headed by the likes Lex Luthor, the Brain and Ra's al Ghul shouldn't have subplans in place in case something goes wrong... this is pretty much one of the few episodes where the Light's schemes fail utterly.
This episode wasn't was cameo heavy as some of the previous episodes, but what cameos there were were actually pretty cool, to me anyway.
Discounting the villain and the main team, we have...
T.O. Morrow,
Captain Marvel, demoted to being Kid Flash's slave after he broke his arm last week (nah, not really. Wally's just taking advantage).
Black Canary, who is continuing her previous appearance of being pretty cool.
Giovanni Zatara, revealled to be something of an overcontrolling parent.
And Zatanna herself, in the outfit it's implied that her dad made her wear (she changes it as soon as she's out of his field of vision)
From the Silver Age flashback, we have this guy... who I THINK is a WW2 villain affiliated with the Axis Powers.
the JSA, featuring Sandman, Sentinel, Dr Fate, Red Tornado, Jay Garrick and Wildcat,
Dr Ivo and Hugo Strange (weird going from Arkham City's version to this one)
And for legality, here's Pantha being horrible to Dick after he was assaulted by a shapeshifter pretending to be Starfire,
