DeMatteis, Dr. Fate, Woton, Guy Gardner, Hal Jordan, Sinestro, Despero and Cavalier all show up in a Batman story that crosses dimensions and jumps into action across space and time.
The synopsis: In the middle of thwarting a robbery by the Cavalier, Batman is whisked away into outer space. When he arrives on their home world, he discovers The Green Lantern Corps is MIA after a battle with Despero - leaving the entire universe defenseless! To save us all, Batman joins the surviving Green Lanterns, G'Nort, Guy Gardner and Sinestro, to defeat the rampaging tyrant Despero before he turns OA, the living Green Lantern planet into his personal weapon of mass destruction!

I thought they might do it when I saw Guy getting on Batman's nerves but I loved it when then took a page out of the old Justice League comic and had Batman knock Guy out with one punch! Even better was having Gnort in the background saying 'one punch...one punch'. Enjoyable episode.

It was great to see Sinestro before he went rogue, and I loved seeing Mogo in this episode. Mogo's great. And I think this was the first series to use two different Earth Lanterns in more or less equal importance or whatever. In JLU, Kyle Rayner was never nearly as big as John Stewart. And I think it's great that this series uses the two Earth Lanterns that were not used in JLU unless you count when Chronos was messing with time, which I personally don't. Oh, and G'nort's takes on the Lantern Oath were hillarious. That's all I can think of to say about it right now.

Even though I have jumped on the Hal Jordan bandwagon, I'm still not a fan of Green Lanterns. But I still found this ep enjoyable.
Really loved the teaser. Dr Fate is one of my favorite DC heroes. Hopefully he gets a full ep later. I especially liked how the teaser this week, actually fit into the main ep.
As stated, not a GL fan, but was still entertained. I did enjoy seeing Sinestro's backstory. Really liking Guy Gardner. The punch thing was great, esp with G'Nort there for commentary. "One Punch!!" Liked G'Nort and how he couldn't get the pledge right. I like how this show actually made Despero an interesting character. I really enjoyed the "I'm a god, neal down" approach they took to him.
Did I see Gypsy in the myriad of names in the opening ? Sucks how we have to wait 2 weeks for the next ep. DrGreenEvil

I liked this one. G'nort was awesome! I hope they make an action figure based on the GL Armor that Batman wore. He looked sick!

Yeah, Dr. Fate is one of my favorites too. For some reason though, I got the impression that going into this weeks episode that this was going to be a Dr. Fate episode. Hope they make a Dr. Fate Brave and Bold figure at some point. (vVv)

The Cavalier rocks my socks! I've always wanted to see this old-school Batman villain and "delusional loon" in animated form. What an amusing, though short, scene. Hope they bring him back later.

I liked the episode. Sinestro was great to see as a GL. I didn't care for the way Despero told Batman Sinestro's back story. It was nice to see Hal Jordan. G'Nort was different than I was expecting. Mogo rocked. Hurling a chunk of rock at Despero was classic.
This episode is mixed for me. I liked the episode story wise, but there were quite a few glaring problems I noticed. Hal's design seemed over simplified, even for this show. Guy could use a different voice actor. I'm actually a fan of James Arnold Taylor, but Guy needs his own voice actor. I think they could have made Guy more powerful as well. I am not completely up on the GL mythos, but I thought that most everyone had a different GL Oath. As I mentioned above, Despero telling Batman about Sinestro's past urked me. It was interesting to see Batman be wrong about something.
I have never been much of a Dr. Fate fan and the teaser did not change that for me.

[shadow=red,left,300]I thought it was a pretty good episode. This series is beginning to grow on me.
I like Batman's sarcastic humor, it is defiantly an improvement on past animated versions.The animation was good and I really liked how they showed Sinestro's back story.
But I do agree with Dark Nightwing, I did not like how Despero told Batman what Sinestro really did! Hal Jordan was another problem, he was just to boring and one sided for my tastes. [/shadow]
