There was talk at one point of having a young Rocket apart of the team.2th said:

I'm pretty sure that was Vandal Savage.

Easily the worst Joker in any DC animated production ever. His jokes were terrible and he was barely menacing. I cringed at the multiple personality line. :/
That being said, this was probably my favorite episode. Lots of great cameos, good use of powers, and the story is finally progressing. Funny callback by Artemis "There's no way I'm almost drowning 3 missions in a row!"

The Jokers design was awesome though.

Does it bother anyone that the team couldn't even get to the Injustice League's hq without even being detected?
Not really. They were trying to sneak up on a master of mystic powers, backed by the real Injustice League, which includes Luthor and Vandal Savage. I'm more bothered that they didn't all get killed. Black Adam alone should be able to take out that entire team.Full Metal Jacket said:
The only thing that gave them a chance to stay alive was Fate's helmet, which they now need to lose, otherwise it's going to be a constant deus ex machina.
Also, I enjoyed the Joker trying to cut Robin. Spiner could have done better readings of the lines and the writers could have written better stuff, but I like my Joker a little darker than most.
I did like seeing Blue Devil and a host of other less known characters.

What's funny is that none of the kids ever come close to hurting him. He smacks Superboy around a few times and then meekly surrendered at the end despite taking no real damage. Batman's plan easily could have gotten them all killed. In the comics/animated series, he would never send Robin against the Joker without him, so that's a pretty big gaffe as well.Parallax said:
I know they had previously established Dr. Fate and magic users of his type to use pseudo-Latin incantations, but I'm kind of nerd-upset they used the same method for Zatara. Both he and his daughter use the goofy yet endearing "say this shit backwards" incantation method. It's an insignificant but disappointing change.
To be fair, their mission wasn't "Beat up and capture these guys that are you of your league", it was "sneak in, kill the tree and get the hell out". Since they've been doing nothing but stealth and recon missions up to now, I can see Batman thinking they're capable of such a task.Sho_Nuff82 said:

I was hoping Aqualad would have the helmet stuck on for another episode or two just to change it up. This season has been pretty fantastic so far though.
I really like the art direction in this show compared to Teen Titans and Justice League. Every episode looks very slick and polished.
Good episode, though I felt the Joker's voice was terrible. That was Brent Spiner? I expected better.
Ready to see Wondergirl on the team. It would be nice to see a female brawler on the team since I think they're lacking in the super-strength department.

Good episode. I don´t recognize all the light though. Only Lex, Robot brain, Ras al Ghoul.

How this team survived those powerhouse opponents was a bit of a stretch. I'm glad at least they didn't go so far as to say they'd win against them. Joker was not good, Adam was cool to see but I wish they had Cap Marvel come with so we can really see a throwdown. Still one of the strongest episodes of the show.
So the Light is Lex, Ras, Randall Savage, Klarion, the Brian. Am I missing anyone?

Still hate Artemis... her voice irritates me. Superboy is getting on my nerves; kill him off please. It really was the worst Joker i've ever seen, but also the best joker design i've seen as well. Hated that Speedy is forgotten and appeared to have reconciled with Green Arrow as they were both seen fighting at each others side. I'm a sucker for any Injustice League/Light stories and i hope they continue.

Beast Boy did nothing for me on that show. Perhaps if they did they actual Titans instead of anime wannabees.

I am a broken record, but they need new young heroes that are cool. Offspring or a yonu Booster Gold would make this show unbelieveable. Aqualad is incredibly dull, did not think that was possible. Artemis is a waste, bring back speedy.
krypt0nian said:
Beast Boy was awesome, I agree that the whole pseudo-anime thing was stupid in some episodes but the Beast Boy and Cyborg jokes were pretty good, imo.
I like the new Aqualad, his powers are really interesting and he's just chill. He's not like the others who get all whiny when the littlest shit happens. I agree about Artemis though.

THIS. I liked Aqualad when he was introduced. He's becoming a dull/pussy leader. I'm fine with Robin, Martian Girl, and Kid Flash, but Aqualad needs to grow some balls and kick some ass.

So Wolf is Superboy's answer to Krypto.
The last ep was nice, seeing the leaguers do some action. And no wonder - I was expecting the big villains to be in the Injustice League, didn't expect them to be
.
Thinking about it, why are people thinking Supes was being a dick to Conner? It's a pretty normal reaction - he just realized he has a clone, and suddenly responsibilities and such come into him.

Three character's I don't like in the show Artemis, Superboy and M'gann. Don't like this incarnation of Superboy. He's always "grr Hulk smash!" or "boo hoo I won't Superman see me as he's son". So far this Wally/Kid Flash hasn't done much of anything than screw up and be useless. Teen Titans had more likeable characters. The only one I like in the group is Robin and to a lesser extend Aqualad. Really hope they add another character that doesn't suck.

I didn't know Cyborg = many. I guess you'll like them if you like anime stereotypes.
Terrible Episode. So many thing didn't make sense.
1. The JL KNEW where the base was. So instead of sending a reliable team to the source they send the B team?
2. THEY SENT THE B-TEAM. Black Adam is not someone to mess with. He'll rip you in half if hes having a bad day. Yet they are sent to deal with him and 6 other heavy hitters.. Dear god its amazing no one died.
3. No one died? So the IJL knocks out 4 of the members and takes them prisoner...why? So they can escape later and foil your plans? "Kill them all" NOPE, YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE.
4. Joker. He's got none of the charm his past incarnations had. Down right embarrasing
This by far has been my least favorite episode.

beast boy was the best thing about teen titans next to slade and cyborgs design. the best moment of the series for me was terra's heel turn and when beast boy handed slade his ass on the ferris wheel. that was the peak until kid flash shows up. the rest is just grating.

hes the only member of the team that acts like he should be respected. he doesnt throw a bitchfit when things go bad, and hes willing to put his life on the line to protect those ingrates.

while this is true, connor isnt really asking for much. just a mentor. superman should realize that its better to have a trained superboy than one that doesnt know what hes doing. and hes being a baby about the whole deal. with the way hes acting about it, he might as well be on young justice with the rest of the children. this is the lamest version of supes ive seen yet.
Just saw the episode. Gonna have to agree with everyone's thoughts on the Joker. The voice just doesn't feel true to the type of character he is. It's a shame too, the character design is fantastic. It's a perfect mix between the Heath Ledger joker and design we've seen from BTAS. Hopefully they can get a better VO for him.
Speaking of voices, was anyone else disappointed with Hugo Strange as well? He just sounds so...young. He doesn't have an accent either.
