New X-Men: Evolution. That’s always a good thing. They’re introducing Apocalypse next week. They’ve been hinting at it over the past season. Next week, he appears. I’m interested to see the XME take on him.

A rerun of this Static Shock’s season opener. I hadn’t seen it, so I was rather pleased with this. It featured Batman, Poison Ivy… and Harley Quinn. (Sorry, . I looked to see if you were online, but you weren’t. And I wasn’t about to call you and wake you up.) Amusing quotes from the episode:

  • After Batman and Static (and no, that doesn’t have the same ring as “Batman and Robin”) were attacked by Harley and Ivy, they are cocooned in wood “shells,” for lack of a better term. Batman escapes his and frees Static. Static passes out. Fade to black. Fade in at the Batcave. Alfred is pulling wood slivers out of Static’s arm:

    Static: Who are you?
    Alfred: Batman
    Static: I don’t think so…
    Alfred: Just once, I’d like someone to believe that.

  • After Alfred finishes patching him up, Static heads over to the Bat-Computer where Batman is putting together clues to track down Harley and Ivy:

    Static: Where’s Robin?
    Batman: With the Titans.
    Static: Who?
    Batman: You’ll meet them one day.

    HAH! Cross-promoting another series. I love it.

  • Batman and Robin Static track the Gotham Girls to a ship. Static attempts, unsuccessfully, to blast Harley:

    Harley Quinn: Face it, kid. You don’t have the juice to catch me.
    Static: *squint*
    ::: electrifies the hull and deck of the ship :::
    Static: Wait for it… Wait for it….
    ::: the ‘shockwave’ overtakes Harley :::
    Harley: EEEEEEEE! ::: thud :::

  • After Harley and Ivy have been collected, Static creates a blinding flash of light… and disappears:

    Ali (schoolmate of Static’s): Where’d he go?!
    Batman: The kid’s got style.
    (Batman smiled… or at least smirked.)

All this and a new episode of Teen Titans tonight. I love Saturdays.

Namaste.
