Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern chase Chronos to the past, where they team up with some of the greatest DC heroes of the Old West. After defeating stolen future tech in that era, they again follow Chronos to the future. Warhawk from the Batman Beyond era is revealed to be Green Lantern’s and Hawkgirl’s son.
Our Take
A fun genre detour that leans into its Western setting with obvious affection, and the cameos from DC’s old west gunslingers are a treat for comic fans. The time travel mechanics are thin and Chronos is more annoying than threatening, but the pace never sags. The closing reveal about Warhawk lands well and sets up part two nicely. Worth your time.
