And it’s how Reverse Flash killed Iris Allen (except she wasn’t really dead, well her body was, not her soul, but… well it’s how he did it anyway.)
Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, J’onn Jonzz, plus a host of supporting characters is lightly guarded?
Prudential probably nixed nerve gas. After (a)transport to work via molecular deconstruction and reconstruction, (b) unregulated nuclear reactor, (c) presence of several radioactive individuals, (d) storage of several magical and alien weapons of mass destruction, and (e) likelihood of supervillian attack, JLU’s insurance rep, President Palmer, had to draw the line somewhere. Nerve gas, it was.
…or MILLIONS OF PEOPLE COULD DIE!
This week’s TV Guide had a page on women in superhero shows and movies. More specificly how shows and movies starring female superheroes tend to suck (they cited Elecktra, Catwoman, and Birds of Prey). It went on to mention that Gail Simmone wrote the upcoming JLU, that it stars Canary and the Huntress, and that it doesn’t suck. Well, I’m excited. 
Hmm. According to TV Tome, the episode TV Guide wrote about primeres in two weeks, not this week.
On a space station, no less. I’d probably pass on the monitored security by Brinks as well.
Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl (Is that okay or does it have to be Shayera now?) are the main stars of this weeks episode.
The episode about Wonder Woman and Shayera Thal traveling to the underworld was pretty cool, too.
One element I’ve noticed and appreciate is the age-appropriate interruption, wherein a character who is just on the verge of saying something risqué gets cut off. Us older types (i.e. 13+) can chuckle at how close the 'toon gets to something naughty. Naturally, I’d prefer they just write the damn show for adults, but what you gonna do?
Examples (shielded in case this episode hasn’t yet made it to your town):
[spoiler]
Felix Faust: Tala, you’ve come a long way since my untimely demise but the student, however gifted, still has much to learn from the teacher.
Tala: [while examining recently-mixed counter-potion] Maybe I wouldn’t, if we had spent more time on curriculum and less time - [potion prematurely explodes]
Hermes: Here it is. [hands Wonder Woman a scroll]
Wonder Woman: [reading] “For a good time, call Podenimus-”
Hermes: Whoa-oa-hey [takes scroll back]. Wrong scroll. [slyly] I think I got a shot. It’s her cell number. [looks for correct scroll] Here we go. “By decree of Zeus, father of Olympus, it is so ordered [smirk] Diana of Themiscyra will travel to Tartarus and set right that which has been disturbed.”
Wonder Woman: He’s telling me to go to -
Hermes: Basically.
[WW and Shayera are sent to a frozen wasteland]
Shayera: Aren’t you cold in that outfit?
WW: Not really.
S: Of course not. The princess doesn’t get cold. The princess doesn’t even sweat in the fire-pits of Tartarus.
WW: I do too sweat!
S: Oh, please. You glow. I wouldn’t be surprised if you never have to - [distant screaming distracts them][/spoiler]
Plus there’s a really cool Evil Dead reference.
I have a question. Who the heck is Podenimus? Obviously she is somebody from Greek Mythology, but I can;t find anything, or maybe I am spelling the name wrong.
From the context, I’d guess it’s some chippie with and on which Hermes (voiced by Jason Bateman, incidentally) wishes to get his freak, with no particular mythological or historical significance.
Yeah, but the arsenal itself still didn’t have any guards at it’s door. Not even a Superman-robot, or one of those lame heroes they never have do anything.
Hermes is shown to have an attraction to Podênemos. Podênemos was a byname of Iris; like Hermes she was a messenger of the Gods.
Hey welcome to the board k9play!
Thanks for the info.
