2. The Flash, “The Elongated Knight Rises” (Jan 23rd)
WHY DOESNT BARRY CROSS HIS SETS OF 5 NOTCHES LIKE A NORMAL PERSON?! Okay, now that that’s out of the way, this episode was pretty enjoyable. Hopefully Jailbird Barry breaks out soon, but it’s kind of sweet that he’s meeting his dad’s old prison friends. Elongated Man gets some time to shine against Joel Schumacher Batman fanboy The Trickster, and his mother/classic FLASH villain Prank. Elongated Man plays like a weirdly subdued Jim Carrey, but it’s just zany enough to work. None of the other characters get much room to shine, other than Harry’s “because I got it” line. While Elongated Man isn’t as gripping of a protagonist, and this episode has an off-putting symbol girl cliffhanger, this episode was some good fun.
SCORE: 7.5/10 Beebos
