Impressions:
Kept up its issues right to the very end. Magical girl sequence for the entire crew comes up and they all start yelling about how this is revenge for being told that they don’t fit in normal society. What on earth are you talking about? Since when has that been anything that any of these characters has cared one single iota about? Haven’t they been going out of their way nonstop to yell “I’m not gonna follow your polite society’s rules, MAAAAAN.” Now for the big final encounter (against some random idiot who’s just floating in the sky, summoning lazy-ass CGI skeletons that do nothing), they’re declaring that no, actually, everything they said before and all parts of their characters are the complete opposite and the anarchists and murderous lunatics just want hugs and to be invited to the Martha’s Vineyard trips. Did humans actually write this?
I think the most obnoxious part of the episode though was the godawful Joker sequel bait that it seems like every DC property that involves him has to have, not to mention that it’s quite the ass-pull that he was secretly the mastermind behind everything. How does the timeline work there, exactly? But let’s just stop and think about the ending with the protagonists for a moment. War’s not over. Nobody grew as a character in any way. Everybody was dispatched thanks to random power ups out of nowhere. Show just ends with about three minutes of “Oh, by the way, here’s what the Joker’s been up to.” Which is especially bizarre because this incarnation has been nothing but supportive to Harley rather than his more standard abusive self. It boggles my mind to even try to contemplate what they’re doing here… unless of course, the answer is just going through the motions. At least it had a budget.
