Episode Summary & Review
Summary
After Lex Luthor escapes from prison, Gorilla Grodd baits him into joining the new Secret Society with a piece of Brainiac technology. Luthor, the Key, and Doctor Polaris steal the Spear of Longinus from Blackhawk Island despite the efforts of Flash, Fire whom Flash had a crush on at the time, Shayera, and the last surviving Blackhawk to stop them.
Our Take
A fun, busy season opener that mostly works because Grodd and Luthor playing off each other is just good television. The Blackhawk Island heist moves fast and the guest hero mix keeps things lively, though the Spear itself feels like a MacGuffin nobody explains well. It’s a light, zippy hour that sets up the season without doing much heavy lifting. Worth a watch.
