Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Green Lantern surrenders himself to robotic Manhunters to stand trial for the destruction of a planet. While Flash acts as John’s attorney, the rest of the League discovers that Kanjar Ro actually helped the Manhunters frame John.
Our Take
A decent courtroom detour that gives John Stewart some welcome spotlight, even if the alien trial stuff feels a bit stiff. Flash playing lawyer is the highlight, bringing actual laughs to otherwise dry proceedings. It’s a fun setup hour, but the real payoff waits for part two.
