26. Inside the Outsiders!

Guest Stars – Teaser: Green Arrow, Episode: The Outsiders (Black Lightning, Katana, Metamorpho)

Normally, I don't really like The Outsiders on this show, but this is one great episode. And not just because it features one of my favorite DC Villains ever.

This one gets straight to the point. The Psycho Pirate has captured The Outsiders, and Batman has to enter each of their minds to save them from being turned into fuel for Psycho Pirate's emotional vampire nature. Psycho Pirate is creepy as heck here, and his metal-masked smile just serves to paint a spooky backdrop for the proceedings.

The episode gives solid characterization to the Outsiders, who've otherwise been pretty one-note. Black Lightning's dream is amazing and unexpectedly hilarious, making me like him so much more as a character. Plus, the final scene with Batman smiling ear to ear while beating the stuffing out of the Psycho Pirate is just beautiful. Great performance from Bader, really selling the comedy of the scene (also, this is the last episode of Season 1).

Verdict: Great.
