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 lets Flash steal the show as comic relief counsel, even if the space legal system is silly by design. The mystery resolves too neatly and the Manhunters feel like generic cannon fodder, but the character work on John’s guilt keeps it watchable. A middle-tier episode worth a casual viewing, not essential.
