Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Green Lantern and the Flash uncover a plot by Gorilla Grodd to destroy Gorilla City, a hidden city of hyperintelligent talking gorillas in Africa. Grodd has a device that allows him to control the minds of others, and uses stolen gorilla technology to steal all of Central City and put its inhabitants under his control. Locked inside the force field shielded city, Flash and Green Lantern work together with Solovar, Gorilla City’s chief of security, to destroy the enemy from within before Grodd carries out his revenge on Gorilla City.

Our Take

A fun, slightly silly wrap-up that leans into the absurdity of its premise and mostly gets away with it. Grodd is a genuinely entertaining villain, cocky and petty in equal measure, and the Flash gets some of his best material this season. The resolution wraps up a bit too neatly, but the pacing never sags. Worth your time, especially if you enjoyed part one.
