First of, great podcast as always!
I didn’t know that at one point Dr Light was this big villain who almost beat the League, it does explain why in Teen Titans 21-22-23 it takes all of the Teen Titans past and present + reserves to stop him after he regains his memory.
I read “I Can’t Believe it’s not the Justive League” and “Formerly Known as The Justive League” years after “Identity Crisis” it made any re-read of Identity that much sadder to see Ralph and Sue all happy and carefree…
Ok, so I listen to the podcast during my weekly drives to and from my gaming habit…
…And I had to pull over on the highway because I was laughing so hard!
…
but for the life of me I can’t remember where it was…. other than sometime before the talk about Identity Crisis…
