I really liked this episode. It was intense and it really revealed some things that were pretty obvious to me from the beginning, such as Conner being half-Lex Luthor and Guardian being Red Arrow's uncle. One thing that bugs me is Luthor's claim that the human DNA is the reason why Superboy doesn't have all of Superman's powers. I think that that part was a lie that Luthor told in order to get Superboy to use the shields, thus getting addicted to them and letting Luthor have control over him. They seem more like steroids, as you can tell from Conner's increased aggression. If Luthor actually thought that Superboy wouldn't eventually have all of his kryptonian powers, he more likely would have frozen him like he did with Match. What people need to do here is to stop comparing Conner to Clark as he is now and start comparing him to Clark as he was at Conner's physical age. I'm pretty sure that Conner will eventually grow into all of Clark's powers as he did in the comics.

As for the bits in the Watchtower, it was really funny when the Green Lanterns refused to let Guy Gardener into the League, which was either because they didn't want any competition or because Guy was a hothead like he was in the comics. It was also surprising that the League now knew Captain Marvel's secret identity, as I thought that the team would help him keep that a secret. What wasn't surprising was that Batman knew about it all along, as he IS the world's greatest detective.
