Recap
The Justice League is battling a group of villains, the Extremists. When one of them injures Vixen, an angry Green Lantern checks on her and then subdues Green Lantern. They check on Shayera, who is being choked, but Batman distracts the villain long enough for Shayera to deliver the final blow. As the police take the villains away, a man approaches Shayera and says he's been hoping to talk to her. He introduces himself as Carter Hall and takes an ancient weapon out of his hands. Batman quickly disarms him and determines the weapon is Thanagarian. Carter explains that he found it during an archaeological dig and wants Shayera to help him determine how it came to earth eight thousand years ago. The League takes the weapon and Carter offers Shayera a dinner. After a glance at Green Lantern, she accepts. Vixen, noticing the exchange, is less than thrilled. As the League departs, Carter turns away... and his shadow follows a few seconds later...Read the full recap
Episode Notes
The villains the League is fighting off at the beginning of the episode are called the Extremists.
Superman and Elongated Man appear but have no dialogue.
Originally, the early Thanagarians did not have natural wings. They genetically engineered themselves to acquire them. This is why Hawkman bears a flying harness, the Thanagarian lawmen in the flashback had metal wings, and the mummies of the Thanagarians at the end had no wings. This fact has been confirmed by Dwayne McDuffie to be consistent in the WB animated universe continuity.
Carter Hall's first appearance in the DCAU.
Justice League Roll Call: Superman, Elongated Man, Batman, Green Lantern, Vixen, and Shayara.
