I don’t think even Batman could have prevented a situation where a kaiju-sized Bane banged half the buildings in Gotham City.

Is that Brett guy the one that’s going to play Hercules in the MCU?

Yes

The moment Ivy started that flashback in Arkham Asylum, I knew where it was going. But this ep was a fun little romp nonetheless. Clayface and Bane once again show us how animation goes where live action just can't.

The Clayface arc started and ended well, but the middle of it was just too much Clayface. And I say that as someone who considers Clayface, King Shark, Gordo, and Bane to be the funniest characters on the show.

The Harlivey stuff wasn't bad, but ultimately it was a retread of the same "quit being so extra-Harley" message that she keeps learning and forgetting over and over again. 

The real standout was Bane. His line delivery is absolutely always comedy gold, and I'm always a sucker for those Austin Powers-esque strategically located censor props.

Fixing a typo. Didn't capitalize (sp?) the B in Bane.

What does it mean that Jim Gordon and Brett Goldstein have the same triangular chest hair growth pattern?

Themyscira must be hurting for money if Queen Hippolyta is doing Cameos.

For some reason, Croc and Enchantress being a couple amused me.

Is it possible not to like Bane that much? I dunno . . . having fun with his voice seems old hat by now. It's so hard to respect him in general with his portrayal in this series.

Clayface had an as that could talk. Not surprising. He's another character that can exhaust me. Meanwhile, King Shark showed up at the opening montage, and that was it. I like him. Mostly because I like Ron Funches, but still . . .

Bane gets sympathy points because so many Gothamites have no idea who he is... Betty thinks it is a stage name...

So weird but so funny. Also who was Darkseid's girlfriend supposed to be? It was someone he said he met at the republican convention.

Melania.
