I like the concept of it (old man Bruce mentoring a new Batman), I like the futuristic setting, I liked Terry as a character and thought it was perfect to make him distinctly different in personality than Bruce, and I thought they did a good job building up his rogue gallery while showing what happened to some of the

Just make Batman Beyond already.

Was Nate ever... oh, yeah. OK, but I don’t count that because it was in his second/third episode. That’s just an origin story. Mona and Gary do count, admittedly. I hadn’t thought of them in that light because they were never that supportive in the first place - they’re more “random background characters who got

I also think there is a bit of “Hey, da fuck?” tension with the Snapped and Unsnapped.

The world went from half of all life disappearing in a second. Just the fact that the nukes didn’t go off within the first two days from lack of people guarding or maintaining is a miracle.

But they went, in five years, from that to

I liked “expelled from dozens of Catholic schools.” Like, you’d figure after getting expelled five or ten times, her parents might say, okay, I think we’re just gonna get her a tutor.

RIP Lina. Pasqualino Settebellezze is a must see, I always get a little choked up thinking about it.

There’s an obscure character, Laura Brown, from a 1965 Strange Tales run which introduces SHIELD. Her father was the leader of Hydra at the time (hence her speaking German) who captures Nick Fury. She ends up turning on her father and helps Fury escape, after which Fury asks her to join SHIELD. She could be some

Yes, but it didn’t have pockets.  Someone must have picked it out for her.

I don’t think Wanda would have any relatives who would be able to afford a Rolex...

But she IS a badass. She’s raised three nice children (despite a husband who, while loving, has been away from home a lot on work business), she maintains a very nice house, she clearly has a great relationship with her husband (who trusts her with top-secret information), she keeps a very level head in a crisis,

I thought Yelena was saying “you don’t want to try that because it won’t end well for you”, and Kate was responding with “well if you come any closer I’m not going to have any other choice”, to which Yelena decided “well let’s call this a draw for now but this isn’t over”. But I admit they could have made that a bit

I found it supremely believable. Cops often slip into the mindset that sometimes the people on the ground floor just gotta go out there and break some rules and crack some skulls, because the higher-ups don’t get what it’s really like out there. Cue Alan Moore: superhero comics are all about rigging the entire world

Now Boxing Glove Arrow, that’s where Clint draws the line.

Jack made up for any of the several minor lapses in this episode...would have been nice if they could have crossed swords for just a moment

Agree with the review, everything that happened was necessary fun and cool, but the execution to it all felt off. Some of the directing was poor as well which was weird considering how well directed last weeks was and it was the same people. Even the end fight felt like it was meant to be epic but it came off a little

+1

Disregarding professional ethics is no LARPing matter.

The discussion about how trick arrowheads don’t just fit on any generic arrow shaft feels like a callback to the original Hawkeye mini (the same one in which he met and married Mockingbird and damaged his hearing), in which he reveals that his trick arrowheads DO in fact snap on to any store-bought arrow... (and there

I cannot comprehend Echo. Like at all. While I initially was intrigued by her coming show, now I’m annoyed because there doesn’t be a set of rules that apply to what she can and cannot do.

Is Echo supposed to be an enhanced human? She seems to be carrying out a lot of feats that are beyond the norm.
