Again, the team is trying to put itself together, but it's doing a better job of it. Using M'Gann as a telepathic conduit (although it's very X-Men), is cleverly done and her flirting with Superboy while Kid Flash flirts with her is played well.
"No capes, no tights, no offense."- I laughed out loud at Superboy's quip, a callback to the primary rules of Smallville. The writing on the show is sharp- the characters are all well drawn. As noted in the episode, Robin IS the best choice for leader once he gains the skills- and it's apparent that although he is the most competent and has the most experience, he's not ready to lead.
The show draws a nice distinction between ability and competence. These are able heros, but they aren't ready for prime time, and Young Justice displays both qualities without making the kids look stupid. Able inexperience is very difficult to show- this show does it well.
Bane is finally played the way he should be. Smart, a planner. He's not very Venom'd up this time through which makes him much more Superboy's punching bag than he probably should be- but this characterization is much more in line with what I'd like to see Nolan do with the character in the next Batman flick.
