BIG HEADLINE posted:Ivy has a canonical penchant for killing "tiresome lovers," so...yeah. I think you're reading too much of comics Ivy into this version. Kite Man is a huge dork but he's an endearing dork (who is, presumably, great in the sack). I do think something's eventually going to happen to him because he's just too dumb for it not to, but I don't think it's going to be at Ivy's hands.

Not gonna lie, with the exception of the Nolan film, I've always found Bane to be a villain that made me roll my eyes for some reason (same with Doomsday). So them totally taking the piss outta him in this has me absolutely giggling every time he's on screen. Also not gonna lie, I made satay noodles last night and did my best impersonation of that line while plating it.

Unless he's the one who revealed she was going to hit that factory in the hopes of getting into the LoD himself. I really do like this version of Ivy, though.

It was nice to have that brief moment of empathy between Batman and Harley. A bit of persistent character development for him. That or Alfred told him what to say.Chokes McGee posted:I think you're reading too much of comics Ivy into this version.

He has the exact amount of stupidity and bravado needed to live a life of kite based crime. He's also very sweet and thoughtful about Ivy. I will be very sad when he's caught in another updraft and never seen again.

They're both in abusive relationships with the Joker. They need to get together for therapy, really. Although Harley is closer to finally  , which really tells you how far down a hole Batman is.Anyway, that advert for that plant which produces... economic vandalism(?) totally had some sort of "Owned by LexCorp Industries" or something at the end. Maybe Lex thought a Ivy-Harley partnership would be too powerful, and so organized events to separate the two so he could capture Ivy. Also, I know things are being ignored for the sake of funny, but didn't Zatana put Queen of Fables into that tax code book thirty years ago AND brought her out? She looks good for a 50~ year old.

This is a show about terrible people doing terrible things in endearingly wholesome ways, so I reckon that either Kite Man's going to get tragically killed off by a Legion of Doom member, or he's going to realise what Harley means to Ivy and they're going to have a good-natured breakup where they stay friends afterwards.

It might have been Zatara who put Queen of Fables in the book. (Zatanna's dad) Frank needs to take some ideas from Smash Bros about how a pot is no hindrance for an independent carnivorous plant. This show is basically canon Venture Bros.

This show is excellent. Much funnier and way more emotionally resonant than I ever thought it could have been. Seconding the appreciation for Ivy, but I'm really impressed with Harley's performance too. Kaley Cuoco is fantastic. Also, did I read the credits correctly, and Alan Tudyk is also playing Clayface (on top of being the Joker)? Nice one.

"B-b-b-bap, we are not goons, we not henchmen, we have powers." "That's right, i'm an acTor" Clayface is climbing the character ranks, i doubt he'll beat Bane though.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Also, we learned the identity of the only other woman in the Legion: Cheetah. That seemed like a given. More interesting though: she's sitting in the corner seat furthest away from Luthor, and does not look happy to be there. She has always been basically an afterthought as a villain, I don't think she even has a remotely consistent backstory. (much like Wonder Woman) And Harley... ouch. Joker's definitely proving his manipulation chops here... one of the tactics available to a manipulative partner; withhold affection throughout a relationship unless it's threatened, then the slightest escalation will bring them crawling back going "This time is different, he's never done that before!"

Probably, but I feel a show like this should probably have at least some consistency within its own timeline. Besides, DC likes to work in generational stuff like that these days.

(Zatanna's dad) The flashback was already mentioned to not be the exact events, it's entirely possible that it was the JSA rather than the JLA defeating her, or something like that. I get the feeling that Cheetah was in the Legion because Luthor didn't feel comfortable with inviting Ares or any of the other gods/goddesses that make up Wonder Woman's rogues gallery out of fear of being outshone by literal gods.

Also they're the Greek gods. If you thought Maxie Zeus was bad... I get the impression they have something planned for Cheetah, she stood out from the rest of the Legion table. Probably cynical about her position and well aware she's a token. And quite possible that Lex doesn't remember her name not (necessarily) because she's a woman but because she's a C-lister. (and likely one of the reasons he really wants Ivy in the Legion, being probably Batman's most powerful female foe) Not sure how they're treating powersets and clout here. Clayface is normally pretty prominent in Batman's villains for having an extremely formidable and versatile powerset and doing crimes as much for the limelight as the cash, but this version seems to play up the 'failed actor' part. (The BTAS version everyone's probably aware of was instead a famous actor, but either way works) While Dr Psycho is definitely C-list, though he's been powered up in this version (Telekinetic as well as telepath) and King Shark is one of the more famous Batman D-listers. The treatment of superheroes and supervillains as celebrities isn't new but it always works.

I like this show's Clayface, it's well done, but for my money, no one did Clayface better than TAS. TAS is really hard to beat for a lot of character's treatments, really. TAS Mr. Freeze was legitimately sad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ8g8GQAAlI This show is like Batman TAS mixed with Venture Bros and Batman Brave and the Bold and it owns.

Holy poo poo, I forgot how haunting that show could be for a kid. I remember that scene was Clayface's first death - he died permanently later on in the show's run, and that scene, too, was really sad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnZ1fjbuIOE God, Shirley Walker's music was excellent.

angerbeet posted:TAS Mr. Freeze was legitimately sad. Fittingly, Mr Freeze's origin story, with Nora etc. was invented by TAS and made it's way into comics continuity, like Harley. In his first comics apperance, he was named 'Mr Zero' and was just a guy with a freeze ray. Though if we are doing TAS comparisons, it makes Clayface's thing with his rogue hand much darker, considering last time some of his mass ran away it developed the personality of being his 'daughter' and befriended Robin.

MonsterEnvy posted:I think this was Joker's way of severing, while making it clear he was the one who dumped her. So he can feel good about himself. Joker's presented in this show as a manipulative narcissist with a HUGE ego (so, the Joker really) who can't accept that anyone might be better at him in anything no matter how petty. It's a big blow to Harley, too- she already decided her real origin story was her breakup with Joker, and now he wants to take even that away. It's still a running theme that Batman tries to talk Harley out of going back to the Joker again and again- that he doesn't love her, and probably isn't capable of loving anyone, and will lie through his teeth for... basically any reason but especially just to keep her around to feed the hyenas and delay Batman. There's even points where Harley's assisted him in going after Batman. (albiet reluctantly, amusing that she helps Batman with just as much gusto as she helps the Joker)
