Eclipsed (1)

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

An ancient lunar crystal called the Black Heart is discovered. Little do the members of the Justice League know, it harbors an evil snake spirit with the ability to possess its bearer. The crystal’s power contaminates almost all of the League, except for the Flash, who manages to prove his mettle and save his friends from the solar eclipse that will destroy both the Sun and the Earth.

Our Take

A solid Flash spotlight that finally lets the league’s resident goofball be the hero, and it’s fun watching him earn it. The possession premise moves fast and the body-snatching chaos keeps things lively, though the snake spirit mythology is pretty thin stuff. Nothing groundbreaking, but an easy, entertaining hour with a nice change of pace in who saves the day.
