I liked both episodes okay. Neither of them wowed me. And Agent King Farraday was a big jerk in the comics that I've read. I was disappointed to see him being so congenial.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Who voiced Green Flame? That wasn't what I expected a Brazilian accent to sound like....

Hmm, the only two Brazillians I've known have spoken fluent English with only a hint of Spanish-sounding Portuguese accent or a vaguely Southern accent, respectively.

Yeah, the accent seemed really weird to me, but then I realized I'd never heard a Brazilian accent.

I had an acquaintance from Brazil and the accent was dead-on. But it still sounded weird.
I was a little confused in the second episode. First of all, is that really Hawkman? And where did he stash those wings? And if he's not Hawkman how does he fly? And when stalker!hawkman tells Shayera he missed the dress and she say "You didn't miss it last night." Is it just me or did it seem like they done it? Which didn't make sense later when he's all getting undressed and she's like, whoa bucko...
And in no particular order, in the first episode if Flash can move his arms around fast enough to fly, he could have totally disarmed Lex when he held the gun against Blackhawk dude's head. IJS.

Wolfram, in the comics Thanagarian wings are just another technological device. Which seems weird to me, since if you're going to build a portable flying machine there are more efficient ways to doing it than creating big feathered wings. In the DCAU, though, it seems like the wings are biological. Except for in Hawkman's case, apparently.
As for the Flash in the first episode, I was wondering the same thing.

Well, Carter Hall was a =Thanagarian= reincarnated as a human. So I guess he needed bionic wings .

Hee:
And plus there’s nothing you can write that Bendis hasn’t written twice in other books that are out by the time you get it out. I wish I were kidding but my God, he’s really prolific and occasionally writes what you were going to write a lot better than what you going to write and that’s no fun for anyone. Except for the readers, and who cares about them?

Wow.
OK. That looks fun.
