Episode Summary & Review
Summary
While Superman, Batman, Cyborg and Vixen try to stop Brainiac, Plastic Man sneaks into Brainiac’s spaceship to destroy the shrink ray and save the world to prove his worth as a superhero.
Our Take
A goofy comedy episode that mostly nails the tone, with Plastic Man’s stretchy slapstick bouncing off the straight-faced Justice League to great effect. Dana Snyder’s voice work sells every joke, and the pacing keeps things moving without wearing out the gag. It’s slight compared to the bigger Brainiac stories, but if you want a light, genuinely funny half hour, this one delivers.
