Secret Origins (3)

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

As alien invaders (vaguely modeled after the White Martians from the DCU) who were accidentally awakened on Mars begin to take over the Earth, Superman and Batman rescue J’onn J’onzz who telepathically summons Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, the Flash, and Green Lantern to defeat the invasion. Superman gathers everyone at the newly built Watchtower funded by Batman (through Wayne Aerospace’s R&D budget) and asks to be part of a team, which he dubs the Justice League.

Our Take

The finale wraps up the invasion with some decent action beats, though the alien threat resolves a bit too neatly after two episodes of buildup. The Watchtower reveal and Superman’s pitch for a team land well and give the whole thing a proper sendoff. It’s a serviceable ending to a rocky opening arc, worth finishing if you’ve come this far.
