When Jordan told Jonathan that their dad thinks he’s made of glass, Jonathan was in the best place to call back to Superman’s “World of Cardboard” speech from JLU’s last episode, but didn’t. Could have gone like “Nah, man, it’s not like you’re made of glass, it’s everyone else compared to you. No, it’s more like you

Nah, unlike Druckmann, John Romero at least knows about the concept of “fun”.

I have 3thought about Zor-El when the show comes back in the summer:

Speaking of other speedsters, where IS Wally now?

When did the Martian Manhunter have a flying car? I know Phil Coulson has one, and her name’s Lola.

As soon as I saw DJ S’more Money, I thought “Oy, THIS douche nozzle.” Then, “I could go for a s’more now, but I have to sneak around my health-nut brother and his anti-sugar-dairy-and-grain crusade.”

Or like how the Marvel movies and Marvel TV shows (AoS, Agent Carter, the Netflix shows) almost never interacted because of beef between Kevin Feige and Ike Perlmutter.

Good point about using more of Batman’s Rogues gallery. They name-drop the big guns in passing (i.e. they implied Batman killed The Joker), but use second-stringers (Zsasz, Black Mask) most non-comic-readers or game-players don’t know. Back in the Elseworld crossover, Flash, Green Arrow, Supergirl, and Batwoman

Why only Earth’s timeline, and not ones for other planets?

Bloody well better have Johnny on the guitar! Can’t bring up his past playing guitar with Mucous Membrane on a music-show episode and not use it. His band even has its own DC Fandom page.

Tim & Eric is too high on that list. I never found them funny.

SO Satisfying.

I thought this episode’s most meta moment was revealing the origins of Big Belly Burger. The best burgers in the (Pre-Crisis) Multiverse!

I know pork isn’t allowed, but beef (or what passes for it in burger patties)? That’s news to me.

I, too, am curious about why either Barry or The Flash didn’t take the stand as a character witness.

And less time & money for make-up.

You raise a good point about criminal law in superhero worlds: it’s always a city’s justice system that tends to rely on superhero help against supervillains, so when and how does it go up to the State or Federal level?

You mean the head of the DOOP? “I’m going to allow this.”

Glasses: the PERFECT disguise.

2009. What a year to set this episode. Same one I graduated college. Now I feel pretty old and VERY under accomplished.
