Beware the Batman - Toxic

The show introduces a second member of the Outsiders, although Katana (Sumalee Montano) doesn’t appear in this episode, as “Toxic” offers the origin story of Metamorpho (Adam Baldwin) – a security guard exposed to a dangerous experiment by Simon Stagg (Jeff Bennett) who didn’t want the man dating his daughter Sapphire (Emmanuelle Chriqui). I’ve never been the biggest fan of Metamorpho and thought it strange when Justice League an entire two-part episode to his origins a decade ago. We’re pretty much given the same treatment here as Batman (Anthony Ruivivar) is forced to deal with the out-of-control monster while attempting to find a cure.

Continuum - Second Guess

Lucas‘ (Omari Newton) initiative into using his limited knowledge of Arc technology and the pieces of the time travel device at his disposal to drive the city into chaos on the eve of the election causes problems for nearly everyone. Privacy goes out the window, allowing the police to round-up anyone with suspicious ties to Liber8, only further escalating the tension and distrust of the status quo, and allows the press to discover a connection between Jim Martin (Tahmoh Penikett) and Sonya (Lexa Doig). Capitalizing on the chaos, Julian Randol (Richard Harmon) uses the opportunity to further push his revolutionary agenda and try to shift the blame of the attacks to Alec (Erik Knudsen).

DC Super Pets - World's Largest Bark

The latest DC Nation Short featuring the Super Pets, “World’s Largest Bark,” is one of the best. Needing help to take down a group of super-villains Ace the Bat-Hound (Diedrich Bader) and Krypto (David Kaye) call on the help of a Super Pet Green Lantern. However, neither of the super-dogs counts on the effect a squirrel will have on them as well. My only real complaint is the cartoon refusing to use the classic squirrel Ch’p for the short, but that aside “World’s Largest Bark” ranks near the top of the DC Nations shorts alongside Animal Man and Super Best Friends Forever.

When the first attempt fails, Michael has to do whatever it takes to stop Sonia’s men from leveling the entire compound with a drone strike, even if the mean’s agreeing to lure his friend into the open and finish the job with a single shot from a sniper rifle.
