Yes, another new one.
REVIEW:
After a good Flash tribute episode, The Legion arc continues in Dead Reckoning. Here we get another DC universe character in his new DCAU appearence: Deadman.
Half of the plot focuses Deadman while the other half focuses on Luthor and Grodd and the Legion. Batman, Wonder Woman, & Superman appear too to support Deadman. It was very funny since Deadman controls people he inherits, after he controls Wonder Woman she says "Next time, ask permission!"
There was only one bad thing about this episode: Grodd's intentions. He wanted to turn every human into apes. While this was funny to see Ape-Batman, Ape-Superman, Ape-Wonder Woman, Ape-Tala, and even Ape-Luthor, what would be the point behind it? I thought Grodd was going to do something that really involved having the Legion around. I was kinda disappointed when it was this.
I did say Luthor was the main one also in this plot. That's why he...well I can't REALLY spoil so I'll say:
Everything is back to normal. Luthor is in charge now.
Another good thing is Deadman controlling Batman scene. Deadman wanted to stop Devil Ray so he got into Batman, grabbed a gun and shot him. Once he realized he was dead, and he got out. Batman saw him dead abnd then saw the gun in his hand. I don't know really know for sure but I doubt Batman and Deadman will see eye-to-eye because of this.
Overall, it was still a nice episode to move the plot further. It was Grodd's intentions that led it go down a little.
RATING: 8/10
You don't get it, boy... this isn't a mudhole... it's an operating table.
(crack!)
And I'm the surgeon.

Pretty good episode, I missed last week's Flash episode, but this was a great episode to come back in on.
Deadman was pretty cool, and it was nice to see Superman, Batman, and Wonderwoman having an episode with just them again. Haven't had one of those in a while.
All in all pretty good episode.

This one had some great stuff. Deadman was written spot on. He has always been a cool character, and it is nice to see him in animated form. If you linked him on the show dig though your local comic shop's back issue (probably bargain) bins and find some of his old comic appearances. There was some fun stuff. Batman's reaction to what happened to Devil Ray was done well.
I can't believe that they adapted the JLApe comic story to the cartoon. I guess they felt that they had to get a lame plot for Grodd to use to provoke his being overthrown. So they used the lamest crossover of the past few years.
I don't remember this show being so violent. Did they up the rating for this? It was great, don't get me wrong, but I don't remember the previous shows being like this.
