Whip: "Your low income is real turnoff, Superman!"
Superman: "I am not discussing my personal finances with a super-villain."
Okay, this was an episode that had our Kryptonian duo put through their paces. Superman got the workout from a minor villain and Supergirl had more of an emotional turmoil to work through.
I'll go with Supergirl first. She's got feelings for Jimmy and while he clearly has feelings for her, Jimmy also encouraged Kara to keep her options open. Unfortunately for Jimmy, Kara's not short of admirers whatsoever.
Then there's the Super-Fest panel being moderated by Cat Grant. Cat certainly had a way of making Kara feel like she had no purpose. Fortunately for Kara, a young woman named Jessica Cruz (Auli'l Cravalho) was able to give Kara the much needed pep talk that she needed to hear.
As for Superman, he got to tangle with a low level criminal named Whip. I say low level but she also had access to Kryptonite and had problems using it to cause Superman much distress. Of course she was more annoyed by his financial status and altruism before Superman eventually got the better of her.
Last but not least, there was Lois Lane. She wasn't her best here but she managed to recognise that Toyman hadn't reformed and she pretty much goaded him into using his new suit. Toyman's actions also served as a way for Lex Luthor to get great publicity for Cyborg Superman. Lex certainly took everyone by surprise this week with that stunt of his.
- Jimmy's comic Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen had a villain version of Lois and didn't seem to impress Lex either.
- Jessica Cruz will be headlining her own spin-off, My Adventures With Green Lantern. Supergirl also "kidnapped" the actors from Challengers Of The Unknown for a brief moment.
- Bizarro cosplay ed as Superman during Super-Fest. There were cosplayers for Starfire, Raven and Beast Boy as well.
- Chronology: Not long since the previous episode.
Mobile Suit Toyman was a strong second episode for both the Superman and Supergirl plots as well as Lex blind sighting everyone. Lois and Jimmy's scenes were a bit weaker but not by much.
Rating: 7 out of 10
