OK, I'm back in. The first three eps were OK, but this one was back to the level that I expect from this show.

Joker's prize mayoral possession is giant novelty scissors? Of course.

Lexx is very much the manipulative genius he's meant to be, yet still a complete manbitch to his own toxic inner demons. The rockets and "The cape stays on!" were my favorite.

Talia is a horrible mother, but she's good at everything else and probably kind of right about the Batfam getting spoiled. Nice bit of teamwork at the end.

Nice bits of insight into Ivy's psyche. Her response to the rocket's appearance and to the underwear question was spot on. And I like her growing friendship with Nora. Who, now that she's calming down a little bit but still a crazy party-slut, I have to wonder about. She went a little bit extra crazy after being frozen all those years and losing her husband, but how much of that is actually the normal her anyway? Kind of like how Harlene Quinzel had some Harley-esque tendencies even before meeting the Joker, was Nora the crazy free spirit who forced Victor Fries to occasionally lighten up and have fun?

Despite the episode having no Bane, no Gordo, no Clayface, and no King Shark, I am actually quite happy this week.
