Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral villains, including The Shade, Star Sapphire, Gorilla Grodd, Deadshot, Simon Stagg, Cheetah, Ultra-Humanite, Tsukuri, and Copperhead cameo briefly in John Dee's dream sequence (which is also the only point where Wonder Woman can be seen in the story). A figure in shadow in the background of the throng may or may not be Ra's al Ghul.
- GoofsOne of the prisoners trying to escape wears a T-shirt that switches from white to black, then back to white.
- Quotes
Green Lantern: [speaking of Dee] Look, whatever he is, he's sure not in the same league as Grundy and the others. He's a nobody.
Batman: Ever read "The Odyssey"? After Odysseus was caught by the cyclops, he told it his name was "Nobody." So when he poked its eye out and its friends asked who did it, all the cyclops could say was, "nobody."
Green Lantern: Point taken.

Featured review
These two episodes manage to be quite dark, with a deeper look at each of the crew's worst fears. The really dark part is how the insane villain goes after his ex-girlfriend, though.
This episode has a very unsettling feeling compared to most of the other episodes in the show, though there are certainly other dark ones. You need only to listen to the choice of music in several scenes or watch a single one of the various dream sequences to realize why. Ultimately, the bad guy doesn't feel super original, as his powers end up being fairly similar to the scarecrow. But what makes him perhaps even more insidious is the fact that he isn't simply using a gas to make people think he's scary; he's actually inside their minds.
