I was definitely in the latter camp when it first aired, but I've come around to the sheer goofiness of it since, and I love that it's basically the BTAS equivalent of <a href="http://tv.msn.com/tv/episode/lost-in-space/the-great-vegetable-rebellion/" rel="nofollow"> The Great Vegetable Rebellion</a>.

That talking goat was too weird for a 10 year old to process. They also mentioned during the commentary that they should have brought this guy back in JLU, as an agent of Cadmus. That would actually have been pretty cool: imagine the whole league up against a mutated menagerie. As a kid, I went out of my way to avoid this episode.

It just plays much more like a Metropolis story than a Gotham one...

It's like superheroes have gone from crimefighters to strangely dressed soldiers in a never-ending war against other strangely dressed soldiers. …it struck me that seeing a comic where it’s just a plain ol’ “Batman vs. the Penguin” story is almost kind of quaint.

Absolutely. It’s like superheroes have gone from crimefighters to strangely dressed soldiers in a never-ending war against other strangely dressed soldiers.
