5. “Day of the Dark Knight”

Guest Stars – Teaser: Guy Gardner, Episode: Green Arrow

For an episode in which Batman and Green Arrow travel back to Arthurian times to fight Etrigan the Demon, this one doesn't quite measure up to expectations.

It's good, all of these are, but it's more serviceable than standout. Which is sad, because the last two were incredibly solid shows. This one has great moments, especially with Etrigan's rhyming speech pattern, but it still feels like it could've come out of any Batman cartoon. Green Arrow gets some more characterization, at last, though. Since he's gonna be the go-to partner for the entire show, that's a really good thing. Plus, the Bat Knight costume is friggin' sweet.

It's sad, because I think with a more fun guest star, this one could have been better, but Green Arrow always winds up feeling like the default, even if he's well acted and written. And I like the competitive streak between the two, it plays off their relationship in the first episode's teaser.

Verdict: Decent.
