About this episode

The hosts review 'The Enemy Below Part 2', discussing Aquaman's sacrifice and the episode's darker themes.

Our hosts return to the Podtower to give this episode a BIG hand as they dive into The Enemy Below, Part 2 . Witnessing Aquaman sacrifice his own hand to save his son immediately bumps this episode up in the rankings. Alex and Will discuss how brilliantly the writers and animators handled one of the darkest—and most badass—moments in the series so far. They also explore how Aquaman originally lost his hand in the comics and why this animated version is far more memorable. Along the way, they wonder where The Flash and Hawkgirl are during the episode's events, question Green Lantern's decision to send Batman into a nuclear reactor, and laugh at Martian Manhunter once again being left alone while his teammates nearly drown in a giant water tank.
