(It feels like Bane working for Talia, when he was enough of a badass on his own.)
In stark contrast to, say, Bane working for Poison Ivy.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, no. You couldn't really call it work. It was more like a directed hobby.

EEEEEEE That was awesome! Slade! Flash! Mask!
I will admit, almost all I know of Solomon Grundy is from one episode of JLU (I think it was JLU, it was one of those) but I'm very fond of him.
I am still kind of half believing that Shado isn't really dead either because that was super weak.

I loved it a lot, but on looking back, I'm a bit disturbed that both named character who died in the episode were characters of colour. This show is already way too white, and now we're down to Diggle and that's it. Hmmm.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Another Easter Egg: The TV reporter was Linda Park.

I'm not disagreeing with you about the show being too white, but doesn't Sebastian Blood also count as a character of colour?

I don't think so? I know Kevin Alejandro is of Mexican descent, but I'd consider him a white Hispanic. And I don't see any evidence from the show that says Sebastian Blood is supposed to be anything but white, which Alejandro's blond curls and blue eyes do nothing to discourage. It would be like saying Cameron Diaz's characters on screen count as characters of colour.
I did learn that Manu Bennett (Slade) is part Maori on his father's side, so Slade might be considered a CoC. It'd be nice if the show acknowledged that heritage though.
