Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Mister Miracle and Big Barda solicit Justice League assistance to free Oberon from Apokolips. J’onn refuses, but Flash decides to help out on his own.

Our Take

A fun break from the season’s big arc, letting Flash play hero when nobody else will. The Mister Miracle action set pieces are genuinely clever, and the Flash and J’onn tension gives the episode some real weight. It moves fast and never wears out its welcome, worth checking out even if you’re mostly here for the ongoing storyline.
