Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Sorcerer Felix Faust threatens to keep Wonder Woman’s home population transformed into stone if she does not gather artifacts for him. He uses the artifacts to release Hades from Tartarus. The League succeeds in banishing Hades and his minions, but the victory is bittersweet as Diana is exiled from Themyscira for allowing the men of the Justice League to help.
Our Take
A decent first half that leans hard on Wonder Woman’s personal stakes, and that focus mostly pays off. Faust is a fairly bland villain, but the glimpse into Diana’s home life and the cliffhanger setup keep things moving. Worth a watch, even if it feels more like setup than a complete hour.
