In this bunch of episodes, we've got the ongoing problem of Cadmus, returning villains and hero clashes.
Episode 16: The Doomsday Sanction
This batch of episodes really did factor Cadmus almost throughout with Amanda Waller at the forefront of almost everything. However, that didn't stop the likes of Milo from releasing Doomsday and for the latter to immediately go up against Superman in a rather brutal fashion. Superman's method of dealing with Doomsday however seemed to make Batman think that Cadmus might have a point being scared of the Justice League. 7/10
Episode 17: Task Force X
Yes, it's a Suicide Squad episode but that title was never going to make it on to a kids show, so Task Force X it is. Amanda Waller recruited Rick Flag who then recruited Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Clock King and Plastique. Their mission was to break into the Watchtower and steal the Annihilator. It wasn't an easy task and it certainly put the Watchtower at maximum unease but Task Force X actually won this round. Well, more like Amanda Waller did. 7/10
Episode 18: The Balance

Was anyone looking for a follow up to Paradise Lost from the previous show? Even if you weren't, you've got one. One part of the episode had Tala rescue Felix Faust's soul from Tartarus and the latter trapping her in a mirror while taking over the Annihilator's body. Then you had Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl putting their differences to one side to venture into the Underworld in order to stop the chaos that Faust had bee causing. Throw in some roles for Hippolyta, Ares and the Demons Three and this was a delightful episode. 8/10
Episode 19: Double Date
Slightly breaking away from anything connected to Cadmus, how about a revenge thriller with two clashing superhero couples. Are you Team Green Arrow/Black Canary or are you Team Huntress/The Question? Gotta be honest, I did lean a bit more towards the latter pairing in this episode. Anyways, Huntress was determined to kill mob boss Steven Mandragora with The Question's help and it was up to Black Canary and Green Arrow to stop her. Huntress's reasons were pretty justified but it was the presence of Mandragora's son that made Huntress change her mind. 8/10
Episode 20: Clash
They say never meet your heroes and sadly for Captain Marvel aka Shazam that sadly turned out to be true. Becoming the latest member of the Justice League should've been the best thing for him but his clashing with Superman over Lex Luthor ended up with him quitting the team. It might have been more interesting if Luthor had genuinely been redemptive but the episode revealed he manipulated events to strengthen his presidency bid and that he was working with Amanda Waller. 7/10
Next blog I'll tackle Hunter's Moon, Question Authority, Flashpoint, Panic In The Sky and Divided We Fall.
