Holy shit, they're hiring John Constantine as a magic school teacher.

A bit like Gilderoy Lockhart, except that all the ridiculous and implausible adventures actually happened and that the body count was much, much, higher and that his favorite thing is cigarettes not hair conditioner.

So, pretty much nothing like Gilderoy Lockhart at all then.
 
"Entertaining my brother and sister in law. I think it's time I clued the Justice League in to what we're doing in Britain."

Oh boy, I can already imagine Grayven handling this with his usual tact and subtly.

Grayven: "So FYI, the British Government is comprised entirely of demon worshiping lunatics and I just wanted to let you know I've put together a group of hardy boys to overthrow them and establish some semblance of sanity."

Batman: ".....and you planned to do this when?"

Grayven: "Oh, I was planing to start in the next....five minutes or so?"
 
...OK. I am officially glad this episode is a Primarily Renegade one. I am looking forward to the Justice League hearing that a first world country that many of them considered perfectly lovely, is in fact ruled by horrific monsters worse than many of those they have fought.
 
I wonder, how does Apokolyptan anti-god armor interact with the Shazam bolt? I know it was able to resist a Zeus bolt. Is it an intent thing, as the Shazam bolt is meant to empower, rather than damage?
 
Certainly, if you write it.

Interior: The headmistresses office of the Celestian school of witchcraft and wizardry

Circe: So, Mr. Constantine, I've heard you once ripped the wings off an angel with naught but your burly, sweaty arms.

Constantine: Yeah, sure luv, let's go with that.

Circe: Why don't you... demonstrate for me

I'm selling the rights to Zack Snyder as we speak

Nice, I've always wanted more to the whole British government situation that's been boiling over for a while now other than sometimes getting told by Black "I've killed more of them."

it certainly eases the blow of one of the scenes I want to see most possibly being skipped in the Paragon timeline.
 
Yeah, I can certainly imagine that Adom really loving any suit of armor that's capable of holding up in super powered combat.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Paragon Paul gave his Adom a set of magically enchanted Orichalcum/Mithril armor off screen like the set he had made for Wonder Woman, possibly even Powered Armor(in the sense that it has a power source powering multiple technological features rather then meaningfully augmenting his strength) like his own armor.

He has no secret identity and looks identical, he has no reason to depower himself.

In fact, since lightning strikes can transform the Shazam powered whether they want it or not, insulated armor is definitely a plus in his case.
 
So for those of us that are less well versed in British folklore, where does this "The government is run by morally abhorent monsters in human flesh" rumor come from?

I get what you're saying, but this is such a weird turn of phrase because now all I can think of is some scooby doo-esque shenanigans where Chester pulls off some asshole's gimp mask to reveal the PM's face.

I imagine you can blame Constantine for that, or at least his writers. A guy like that? A series like his? It's pretty much inevitable that the government of wheverever that series takes place would be utterly corrupt.

Edit: Ninja'd

Hellblazer, aka John Constantine's book. There was rape, pedophilia, bestiality, and Prince Charles was possessed by a demon. In addition, they were involved in the creation of the Terror Thing, which we covered a while back.

The writers were not fans of the establishment, if you couldn't tell.
 
Woah, woah, there's something here that everyone seems to have missed that is really rather important.

Circe...took the appearance...of Thessaly?!

Grayven, you had better hope you're off world when Thessaly finds out, although even Tamaran might not be minimum safe distance.
