idk why i even post about this show anymore since i am obviously like the only one watching it but ok here goes.

omg this one made me cry. poor rex/metamorpho. i knew that stag was a total asshole based off the first epi but damn. i wish alfred and batsy had let pyg and toad kill him now and just saved the nice rich black guy lol.

and what the hell is bethany ravencroft up to with her texting? who is she in cahoots with? why the hell am i even asking this since no one else even watches?

While i'm beginning to catch up with the show i will eventually contribute to these threads & give my thoughts on the episodes however i will say this the show is...it is a little weird mainly cause i'm use to the original batman baddies & not these lesser-known villains but the show is pretty good & i like it i just hope to see the originals villains soon.

This was another good one.  Nice to see that they're threading other elements throughout the series, like bringing Stagg and Ravencroft back.  With Metamorpho and Katana in the show, I wonder if we'll see an Outsiders team-up eventually.

They're a group of superheroes that Batman founded, which include Metamorpho and Katana.

In case anyone's interested, I did start a thread about the original Batman and the Outsiders comic earlier in the year: http://www.batman-online.com/forum/index.php?topic=2244.0

It wasn't very interesting, as evidenced by the lack of responses. But if anyone wants to discuss the history of the team or the comic they debuted in, the thread's there.

thanks you guys, i will check it out.

I re-watched this episode last night for the first time in four years. Simon Stagg is indeed a bastard for wanting to ruin his daughter's relationship just because he doesn't approve her dating a security guard.

They may not be literally identical, but I reckon Stagg has a lot in common with BR's Max Shreck. Both are elitist and very manipulative into getting what they want for their business aspirations i.e. Shreck convincing the Penguin to run for Mayor to make his plans for the nuclear reactor possible, and Stagg sets up Mason to stage the Metamorpho transformation as an accident.

Obviously, their attempts at murder are responsible for playing a direct role of a character getting rebirthed into somebody else - Rex Mason/Metamorpho and Selina Kyle/Catwoman. Although in Selina's case, Shreck tried to kill her because she knew too much, whereas Rex was deprived of Sapphire because Stagg believed his daughter deserved to be with man of a "higher class". Despite being are cold-blooded, both men do love their children.
