Good stuff. Best of all, of course, is

the return of Darkseid, the murders of Tala and Grodd, the decimation of the Secret Society, and Luthor leading the survivors to Superman for help.

More thoughts as they come to me; I just wanted to start the thread.

Crap–I didn’t realize that the contents of a spoiler box were visible on a rollover from the main page. Can somebody ask a mod to input some spoiler space?

I wish they had on online roster for all the members of the JLU and that LOD. I honestly could only keep track of the characters that were mentioned by name, and only a vague idea of their powers at times.

I loved the last line - “We have a little problem”.

I was beginning to wonder whether the JL were even going to make an appearance in this one. Then the twist.  
Ooooooh, really really really nice call back.

I have to wonder if Grodd is really dead.

Logically, he should be, but so should Luthor and Co. and they all seem fine. Besides, I’ve noticed that people have a tedency not to stay dead for very long in some comic books.

**HPL** , you know the comics rule…no body, no death. Sometimes even with a body, you still don’t get death.

Having said that, I’m pretty sure we won’t see Grodd or Tala or any of the others for the remainder of the season…which I think is only one more episode ☹

Anyone create a supervillian scorecard yet? I didn’t know most of the baddies (and their powers/abilities/gimmicks).
