I think this a great episode, and gives WW and Hawkgirl some time to shine, as well as having them work together for the first time. This is a real girl power episode, and I enjoyed it a lot, WW and Hawkgirl played off each other very nicely in there situation, and we got another nice villan to add to JL's gallery.
Part 1: This episode starts off to a great start with Batman single-handling taking down almost the entire Injustice Gang, sure a bit unbelievable, but fun to watch nonetheless, and when you think about it, since he's already faced most of them before, I'm sure he would've been prepared and have a logical plan to take out all of them. Loved how the brought back Hippolyta and Themiscara for this episode. It was a great idea to make the villan from WW's home, and made even more sense as the episode progressed. Loved when Hawkgirl was sneaking around the island to discover stuff about Aresia. Her origin story was very tragic, and even more tragic when we find out what irony it has in part two. It was also cool that she put in the part about Aresia's training and trasnformation into an Amazon in there. Aresia's virus, disease thing was very clever and I loved how she slowly one by one took out each male member of the JL with the virus. Ok, this episode was a bit slow though, the stuff with the Injustice Gang wasn't that thrilling, and the covered up the true purpose of this episode. Oh, and WW shopping part at the beginning. That was really funny. But anyways, Batman's revelation that this virus is contagious and is only affecting the male half was a nice cliffhanger to part two, as you knew he could only last out for so much longer.
Part 2: This episode starts out really nice, with the remaining 3 members, tidiously running around the city trying to control the chaos and with the inability of any male firefighters or police to assist them. Batman stopping the runaway bus was a nice scene, but afterwards we're only left with 2, WW and Hawkgirl. These two played off each other great. While WW you could tell couldn't see anything wrong with the annihilation of man, Hawkgirl proves her point many times. It was cool seeing WW and Hawkgirl, as well as the rest of the female population take control of the situation. The final 10 minutes was great. When Aresia kidnaps Hippolyta, there's a nice fight between her and SS and Tsukuri vs. WW and Hawkgirl. The finale was great, WW did a great job showing off the amount of power she has by decommishioning the aircraft, and fighting SS and trying to protect Hawkgirl in the Javelin. The ultimate revelation that Aresia was saved by man, was ironic indeed. The modified scene to origin had a very touching scene when Hippolyta buried the man who save her. Of course this doesn't change her mind, but leads to a brutal fight between her and WW, while Hawkgirl is making sure that the missles of the gas aren't launched.
Overall, it was great to get another Amazon character who shares the same motives and vision, only uses those to higher extent than others. The plot was simple yet made sense, we got to see our female characters take charge and interact with each other in a great way. The action was good, but the animation was a bit lacking, and the episode did get slow at points and felt empty like they could've added more. Some parts they extended way too long, and while it was cool to see and Amazon villan, this one was bland, and just not to threatning at all. But, those are just minor flaws to a pretty good episode.
