Well yeah that's cause it was actually a plot point.

Private Security might be the best episode of Young Justice, It felt like a Justice League Unlimited one-shot. They’re really getting everything they can out of Khary Payton.

Man I just realized how much range Khary has. I did not realize he was Kaldur, Manta, Black Lighting and Brick. They all sound so different.

That episode was hard to watch for me.

I think the reason why Olympia kept asking about the bear was a hint that she had either early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. Maybe that's why Cassandra called it a mercy killing... she would've died of the disease anyway.

Cassandra outright said that her mind had been going for a while and that is why it was a mercy.

Also glad the Ultra-Humanite is getting some respect, he is the original super villain after all.

Related, I can't be the only one who was super confused about Beast Boy's girlfriend being a different blonde eastern-Euro princess in the middle of all the Terra stuff.

She's a Queen actually. We also met her before back in season 1.

I watched Batman Bad Blood and was pretty impressed. Not only did it predict most of the Incredibles 2 plot, but it had better fight choreography than most of the DC movies, though the drawings were a little inconsistent during dialogue scenes. Made me wish for this to be part of a continuing set of Dc movies instead of a bunch of mostly unrelated one-offs.

My only real issue was it's obsession with murdering all the villains. I think Black Mask and Penguin who are both cameo's are the only villain survivors.

Oh did he finally say his plans for SSM? Last I checked, he was being vague as gently caress on his AMA blog because he was 200% sure that Sony would call any day now and tell him to make more of it.

I was actually kind of upset that YJ came back just because he was proven right for that show...

Now this is not true. Wiseman even stated that Spectacular is dead as doornail. As rights issues killed it, not anything else. It literally can't be renewed. Also from the last I heard him talk about it, he stated they had no plans to kill Gwen.

I'm more of a Marvel guy and it's been ages since I watched YJ S1 & S2, so I just had no idea who the kids were chasing after "Count Vertigo" in Episode 16, apart from Beast Boy, Static Shock and Kid Flash. Who was the lady firing purple and who is the counsellor kid?

I'm enjoying the show, but I'm now finding the cuts between dialogue across scenes and the catchphrases way more jarring this time. Maybe I just got old!

Ed is the Teleporter from Season 2. Traci Thirteen is new this season, though she made some cameos this season I think this is her first speaking role. She is Jaime Reyes girlfriend in the comics and daughter of classic DC character Doctor Thirteen. (Pretty much the DC Universe's biggest skeptic.)

How many of you also laughed a little when Steve Blum's Henchy character said "Karabast!" in the latest episode of Young Justice?

When I first heard it I wondering where I heard that before, before going "hey that's Zeb's line" then trying to remember what it means. I guess Devastation is a Star Wars fan.

At first I thought that Random Henchman was just going to be more important than I thought, given that he was the one that hired Gabriel to let the Assassin in as well.

At a certain point, maybe you're too ashamed of writing a superhero story to be writing a superhero story. Maybe go off and write your own Ghost in the Shell or Appleseed.

So in the new Hush adaption Hush is actually the Riddler, not Tommy Elliot. Also Tommy dies.

Probably a better story than the original. As part of the twist was that Riddler was partially behind the plot, and Tommy did not add that much.

I really loved Lex bring brought down a peg. Even in the animation I could see the rage in his clam looking face.

It's still a setback and they for sure did not get what they wanted. Their new member was just able to salvage a bit of the situation, so it was not a total loss.

Well Bedlam was helpless at the time. (And probably also under Bad Samaritan's influence when he said that as he was begging for mercy earlier.) Brion did not have any real right to execute him, then there was the whole doubling down and usurping the Kingdom from his brother.

He also was not mind controlled, his actions were just influenced. He was considering doing all that stuff, the Bad Samaritan just gave him the push to do so.

After watching Scanners I decided to watch some Beware the Batman. I saw episode 1 a long time ago so I rewatched it and then watched the next one (well, watched the second one and then rewatched the first one), and it seems pretty decent so far? Certainly not "blaze through the last of our contractually obligated episodes in a 2 hour block at 3AM" bad. The animation seems pretty smooth, I've liked all three villains I've seen and I like that we're seeing some lesser known ones, some of the character designs are kinda odd but it feels like it mostly works.

Someone in the Network must have really hated it. When episode 8 or 9 hit, it was removed from it's block besides Teen Titans Go. And went on hiatus 6 months. The remaining episodes of the season aired normally in some other countries but not the USA. (CN did similar things to Young Justice.) Eventually it was announced it was now on the Toonami block and they started airing show. Only for it to be announced a few weeks later that CN had written off the show. (Meaning after a certain date, it could never be aired again.) Toonami's guys did a marathon of the remaining episodes their farewell to it as it was the last week for it to be on TV, and if they did not air them that way, then the show would have just been unfinished.

I mean, that doesn't make it sound much less malicious. Wasn't that whole block just generally poorly run? 'Cause Beware the Batman was not the only show to get screwed over (poor GL:TAS!), and isn't Teen Titans Go! the only survivor on TV? At least Young Justice got a streaming revival.

I think less Malicious on Toonami's end. There was tons of Malice on CN's end.

The episode also mentioned the time were Waller really got her respect of him, which was a great sequence.

Funny enough despite Waller giving up on the plan after the assassin refused to do the murder, and no longer getting involved with Terry or his parent's life. She did actually ruin the McGinnis' marriage with her meddling.

Warren wondered why both his first son, and then his second son had black hair ,despite both him and his wife being red heads, and did not really resemble him at all, and could only really come to the conclusion that she had been having an affair.
