For those of you that did enjoy the Robot Chicken DC Comics special, be watching your FIRE AND WATER PODCAST feed! I’m just sayin’…

I’m not sure why this one didn’t connect with my funny bone… I typically love the segments with the super-heroes, but just didn’t get into this one… Maybe I hyped myself too much on this… My favorite of the segments was definitely the Arthur Kensington Jr. becoming Green Lantern skit (the one where Abin Sur gets eaten by bears).

Just saw it. Generally RC is hit and miss of late, and this special was no exception. Firestorm-wise, at first, I thought “oh, man… more Firestorm hate this ain’t good.” But then, I thought it had a great closing joke. Kudos to Firestorm for standing up! Aquaman, however, well, he deserves what he got (LOL)

I’m not a regular viewer of Robot Chicken, but I bought this episode from iTunes and LOVED it! I thought Shag would be enraged at Firestorm’s short clip, but seeing him come back the second time to take out his frustration on Mister Banjo and B’dg was terrific.

Despite all of the great character moments, the absolute funniest part of the episode, I thought, was Abin Sur’s body being devoured by bears!

Count me in as another who liked the special. But to each his own.

Da-da-da-da-that’s Bane!

@DrNobody – Sorry you didn’t dig the show. I LOVED IT! And yes, I totally noticed the Hal Jordan gray temples (nowadays retconned as Parallax’s influence). Not sure why they used it though. Gonna think on it.

@Ed – Firestorm definitely had different hands. I imagine it’s because it was easier to pose those hands as opposed to the hands that came with the figure. Just my guess.

Thanks for the comments!

I absolutely loved it. I laughed my @ss off.
As we discussed, Shag, did you ever figure out the different colored, bright yellow hand of the Firestorm figure they used in this episode?

I actually thought it stunk… The first half was over, and I was hoping it was going to be funny…. It essentially was like 90% of season 5 of Robot Chicken and just wasn’t as funny as the show was in it’s first 4 seasons… Hopefully the rest of the season is better…

And a non-Firestorm related question from the special…. Did any one else notice that Hal (Green Lantern) Jordan had his 90’s white hair streaks?!?
