I'm a bit late on this one, but being a little behind was no problem with Titans. I'm WAY behind on that one, so let me play a little catch-up on this one now...
In the aftermath of what happened with the whole 'black hole' thing, the Team has a division.
In Detroit (since Geoff Johns is from there), Cyborg is trying to be a hero. We see in flashbacks how he knows the Doctor, so he comes to help.
To note: his 'Dad' is Phil Morris, who was 'Martian Manhunter' on Smallville. Big shoes to fill!
Negative Man is experiencing some issues, as his 'other half' is a separate entity on this Show and kind of pulls all of the strings.
At the Mansion, Robotman looks into Crazy Jane's past via a pile of VHS Tapes of her with the Doctor.
We're one Jared Harris away from this being The Quiet Ones 2!
Can the group get their act together and save everyone or is it too late for that? Tell me what you think, Jane...
A solid follow-up that continues the weirdness. The first Episode was good overall, but was clearly anchored by one man- Brendan Fraser. He really had to carry it (mostly with his voice) due to the structure of it. This time, the weight was carried more evenly by the Cast. Timothy Dalton- my 2nd favorite Bond- gets a few Scenes to be likeable and all that. Robotman still has his moments, which is nice. The others- including Elastigirl and Negative Man- have nice moments as well. Crazy Jane goes through about six or seven personalities/powers. It's a bit cliché to be all 'I act like a little girl before getting violent' though, right? It's fine, but...how many times have we seen this? That said, seeing her powers (like above) is neat and I'm curious how many of them we're going to see in the course of the Episodes. They never got to all of them in the Comics, so we'll see. I didn't SPOIL most of the Plot here and I won't do that now. It's weird and kind of fun. The Nobody as a Narrator bit is fine now- just don't push it. The Tone is all over the place, but it is still better than Titans. Just tighten (no wordplay) it up a bit and you're good. Nice literal shout-out to a Comic Book Writer too...
Next time, the group has new (read: some) resolve to stop Mr. Nobody. Can they get it done? See you then...
