Wow, that was fantastic! I was fairly unsatisfied with "Cornered", and I was fearing that maybe I'd outgrown the series, but I was wrong! I'm loving that we're seeing so much of the villains and their scheming, it gives a nice break from the hero's story.

I was a little taken aback at first when we saw Arsenal had already joined the Team, but then now I think about it, we've already had Red Arrow do the solo hero thing, and seeing it again would be repetitive. I liked him on the Team.

Robin was also great in this episode, even though I feel like his character is a little neglected. We really only ever see him to good in a mission, and then watch him accept praise from Nightwing. I'd love a proper Tim Drake character story in the series at some point, hopefully before we jump forward to Damian's era.

Blue Beetle was fine as always, but I currently don't have a huge connection to him, and I really can't relate or sympathize with his pain. I'd like to revisit his home life again, but focus more on him.

I also like how the Scarabs have sort of become like evil Green Lanterns; sent across the universe and finding a host. I'm not sure whether that's an original idea or one from the comics, but it's fun, and it's interesting to think how many differently colored beetles there are out there!

I think that's all I have to say for now, but I did enjoy it, a lot, and I can't wait for next week's episode. Was there a preview on DC Nation?
