Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Metal Men: Payback Time

I have not been loving these Metal Men, but I have to admit seeing Dr. Magnus give up and join in the "insured" destruction was a little funny. I do think I have gotten my Metal Man fill though. Lets move on to something new.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Metal Men: Identity Crisis

With Dr. Von Vroon and his Nightmare Menace, the third Metal Men outing was an improvement over the first two, though I still have not particularly warmed to the animation style or characters. I just can't really imagine anyone watching this particular series and thinking they should seek out more Metal Men content. Maybe its just my own lack of familiarity with these characters outside of their periodical counterparts, but I can't really care if Lead gets hurt or if Mercury melts. If there are more of these, I am hoping for a short titled Amalgam about a super-sized Metal Men alloy.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Metal Men: Teacher's Pests

Hmm. Still waiting to be won over by the antics of these metalloids. I hope that in the next outing they get to fight a villain because right now, I am not finding the team too easy to get behind. Sorry, not too much else to say other than that I do appreciate the inclusion of Asimov's Laws of Robotics.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Metal Men: Happy Birthday

While I believe the Metal Men have potential, I am glad we got the introductions out of the way. As was the case with the Sword of the Atom shorts, this intro felt awfully redundant for a fan of Batman: The Brave and the Bold where the Metal Men had a couple of great spotlights. By the way, with Platinum in the line up, shouldn't it really be Metal People?
