Truth, my man, after the viewing of each episode of "JLU" so far this season, me and the wife have said in unison the same thing - "Where's the Flash?" We're both getting pretty irritated.
As for "The Man Who Has Everything," I have issues with that episode, hell, I've got whole three year subscriptions. Too much to go into here on the spur of the moment but I'm writing a serious rant for Comic Widows. I'll let you know when it's up.
Just as an example, read the original source material for the episode, then watch it, then think about the subtle messages that might be sent to an impressionable child, especially a female child.
Wonder Woman is the foremost fictional example of female empowerment, and yet here she is brutally pummeled into submission by a man (there are no scrapes or bruises or blood in the comic) and then has to be saved by a man. This is female empowerment???
Better go now before blood pressure goes up even more...
