Booooooooo!
I was thinking the same thing.
My thoughts were that Flash knew that he was dealing with Lex Luthor, a brilliant mastermind who repeated thwarted Superman. Flash was probably second-guessing himself, thinking that it just couldn’t be that easy.
Give me a break, I’m trying to make sense of a cartoon based on comic books.
They’re taunting me. Simply TAUNTING me. Fire and Ice there, Bea getting to be one of the stars of the episode…and they don’t even give Tora a line?!? This keeps up, someone’s getting a grumpy letter.
‘I hear she’s…Brazilian’ was simply brilliant. Especially the look on Flash’s face.
You had a problem with that, but not Flash staring at Bea’s tits?
I didn’t catch that one.
Quite possibly I was distracted by her tits.

Well if you read the terminal velocity trade paperback, thats what really happened to Wally when he first came back fromt he speed force. It was calling him back and he was losing it. Only thing that saved him was linda, and since Wally’s in his hound dog phase in the DCAU there is no Linda to pull his bacon out of the fire so to speak. So yeah, being afraid of going to fast is a probibile real fear for Mr. West.
just fyi
And some speculation that it was fabricated in the 7th century A.D., and at best contains an authentic Roman crucifixion nail as an ornament.
I LOVED this scene because it was so inappropriate! I laughed out loud. It was so blatant that I don’t think anyone who’s gone through puberty and was paying attention could miss it. I do think, though, it would fly over the heads of kids. They usually just don’t process comments/moments like that.
Believe me, I’m well aware - having collected almost the entire current series of Flash…
I finally saw these. A few more observations:
… in “Legion” – the updated Legion is never precidely names except as a protection agency under Grodd’s control/direction. Freezing the screen, one can see Dr. Destiny, Kanjar Jo, the Gentleman Ghost, Heat Wave, Major Force, Mirror Master, Silver Banshee, Star Sapphire, Cheetah, Giganta, Sinestro, Blockbuster, KGBeast, the Clock King, Livewire, Bizarro, Metallo, the Parasite, Black Mass, the Atomic Skull, Thorn, the Thinker, Killer Frost, Sonar, Major Disaster, the Weather Wizard, Rampage and the Toyman.
The silhouette of the giant robot that attacked Luthor, the Key and Dr. Polaris is almost certainly meant to resemble the Iron Giant.
Among the Blackhawk Island’s defenses were robot flying fish, robot flying hammerhead sharks, a giant robot roc and a much smaller Warwheel.
I wanna know how Kanjar Ro got there?
Also, what exactly does Luthor bring to the table? He’s penniless, half-nutty and arrogant.
Also, did Dr. Polaris really look like that at one point? And I’m slightly disappointed that light guy from S:TAS didn’t make it. Ooo, and maybe they’ll bring back the Promethium giant!
Is he broke? At the very least he is still a pretty smart guy.
Yeah, but there are plenty other smart guys who aren’t talking to an invisible friend. I suppose it falls under “I’d better keep you where I can watch you.”
The one thing that gets me about Luthor is how good he looks. Considering what he was like with Brainiac messing him up.
Grodd said something to the effect that, “You’re too big a player to ever really quit,” and then dangled that last surviving shard of Brainiac in front of Luthor as a carrot. I’m sure he’s hoping he can get Luthor to jump through some hoops.
Yes, he WAS a big player, but what does he have now? He’s not at 100% and he’s being influenced by Brainiac. Grodd has a hold on him that I doubt he does on anyone else. I just don’t see his value.
Interesting that the Ultra-Humanite wasn’t there, but I can see him and Grodd butting heads immediatly.
There’s no reason he should be. Last we saw him, he was still in charge of LexCorp, and, while he was probably forced to spend a small fortune on damage repairs, that wouldn’t be too much for someone like Luthor.
He’s also still one of the most brilliant scientific and tactical minds on the planet - certainly among those working on the dark side.
And do you think there’s anyone in that room - up to and including Grodd himself - who’s not also half-nutty and arrogant?
They don’t all talk to disembodied cybernetic organisms, but they all have their monomanias, crackpot ideas, and psychoses. Comes with the territory. Look at who Grodd sent to recover and watch him - The Key, for the gods’ sakes.
He’s a genius, and Luthor probably has hidden funds and equipment caches here and there.
And if Grodd refused membership to all but non-nutty, non-arrogant supervillains, he’d have a very small group indeed. 
Granted, I don’t think the Key here is as nutty as he later became, but you’re right. I assumed that the government, led by Ms. Waller, would have closed down any money Luthor could access, but I’m sure he made plans for that in advance, even though his public name may have been smeared. I’ll accept that he still could be a big player.
I notice no one else has commented on who the new liaison (sp?) to the JLU is: King Faraday! Nice mention of a fairly obscure character.
I’m almost sure Faraday’s been resurrected on JLU because of his recent and fairly terrific appearance in Darwyn Cooke’s DC: The New Frontier mini-series – although he should be a bit older.
King Faraday also appeared in Solo #5, the all-Darwyn Cooke issue, which came out a month or two back. I’m so pissed I never found a copy at any of my local comic shops.
