The Batman Season 5 Episode Discussions

Good ep with Ollie! Though I definately prefer Kin Shriner for his voice actor. He's who I hear in my head when I read the comics. Chirs Hardwick is okay but just didn't scream Ollie to me, voice sounded a little too low in places and not distictive enough. I liked seeing Ollie origin animated for the first time on TV as well as working Vertigo into this version (didn't Vertigo show up in the Off Balance ep of Batman TAS? I really should rewatch that now) okay yes there were the Smallville webisodes or whatever they were called, but I prefered this version and animation style better. Then again, I'm a sucker for Ollie origin stories in general I think. I like GA island stories.

I didn't know much about Ollie prior to JLU and Smallville either, but over the past year he's grown to become my favorite character in the DCU.

Can't wait to see Flash and Hal Green Lantern show up. But what about some female leaguers too - Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Zatanna, any of the three would be nice.

Some more of my favorite lines:

Ollie: Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
Alfred: At the renaissance fair perhaps?

Ollie: Concentrated acid arrow.
Batman: Phospherus would have been quicker.

Ollie: I like the set up you have here. Gives me some ideas for my place back in Star City. (nice reference to Ollie's pre-O'Neil days of being a Batman copycat).

On the whole I think the episode did a good job showing the similarities between GA and Batman but their differences as well but all the while keeping GA cool. Nice varitation the the Adams costume too, the underpants over your shorts is so out these days for superheroes, the tunic pays a bit of hamage to Grell.
