Season 3, Episode 12: “Injustice” (SPOILERS)

[Silver Surfer]

Really liked this version of Lex. He had a lot of Kingpin in him.

A departure from the debonair and teflon version we saw in Smallville and S:TAS.

 

[Gaultheria]

Ha!

Spoiler

Evil Superman eating rats! Loved it!

Gollum’s fish scene and a golden ring dropped to the ground. Any other Lord of the Rings imagery in this episode?

 

[Gaultheria]

To me, this version of Luthor is about as shallowly uninteresting as Doomsday. A captivating villain needs to be relatable in some way more than “Angry! Angry! Angry! Angry!”.

 

[Dr.]

So... not an especially big part for Otis?

Depends who you ask. I mean, he’s a step up from rats.

 

[Gaultheria]

Given how common X-K inhalers were — and how cheap and easy to obtain — these Jordan sightings really ought to be no big deal. If anything, headlines should be “Super Drug Still On The Streets” instead of “New Superhero In Town”.

 

[Dr.]

In MOS, Pa thought it was a good idea. Now, in S&L, Sam thought it was a good idea. But...

With Clark and Jordan disagreeing on the extent to which they should use their powers, I’m getting the impression that in the finale Jordan will kill someone — or try to — to protect Lois.

Yeah, although I give Sam somewhat of a pass for being rattled because of the adrenaline that must’ve been coursing through his body after he nearly caused a multi-fatality accident by driving without due care and attention.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Yes, if this Sarah/Jordan drama is any indication, I will absolutely not miss the Cushings at all. This has dragged on long enough.

I have a dim memory of a (comic book) “imaginary story” where Supes’ superpowered son got more and more troublesome. (Turns out, raising a super kid is tough. So, kudos to Ma and Pa for their parenting skills. ) Eventually, things get so bad that Supes decides on an extreme remedy: administering gold kryptonite to permanently remove Jr.’s powers.

I’d approve this approach for Jordan. :coolguy:

That seems kinda drastic, maybe a little humbling would be helpful.

Tough love, Squeekness. Tough love. It's like taking the car keys away from a misbehaving teen. Superpowers are not a right; they're a privilege.

 

[Iceman]

Lex's intro didn't disappoint, look forward to seeing more from him.

Jordan is turning into an issue!

 

[Sithborg]

Jordan is really asking for his first super powered beatdown, isn't he?

I like this version of Lex. I think he is going to play very, very well against Hoechlin's Superman, who can bring a wonderful intensity, like when Jordan super shoved him.

Kind of curious to see how the season resolves next week.

 

[The Caped Knight]

 

[3rdstone]

I really appreciated the intensity the actor brought with this version of Luthor. That scene on the porch was truly great (loved how he took a long glance at Clark just before the moment he left). But I also hope we will see more dimensions to him than this. Will be interesting as well to see Jordan's development from here. God, he constantly begged for over loads of humple pies in this episode.

 

[Babillygunn]

Jordan=Superboy Prime. (If Superboy Prime suddenly became annoying and uninteresting)

What I've said from the very beginning about Jordan Kent.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I'm so tempted to make an avatar of everyone's face when Jordan pushed Clark's arm.

They are good faces.



Hoechlin out here acting circles around Cavill.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Out acting Cavill isn't a hard task.

 

[Dr.]

Though… civility is a generally worthwhile precept. I.e., it is possible to praise someone without denigrating someone else.

 

[Sithborg]

[shrug]

Hoechlin, for my money, is the most intimidating Superman. Cavill, whether by direction or acting ability, when he goes for intimidating, relies on his size, not his acting ability.

So is dunking on a dude who concerned trolled about #MeToo.
