batman brave and the bold when omac attacks

Batman warns them that Equinox intervened but they don’t believe him and insist that their weapon malfunctioned. The GPA confront Batman and accuse him of failing again. Batman throws a smoke grenade and runs to his ally only to discover he’s transformed back into Buddy.

Shrapnel releases a burst of liquid metal shards, striking OMAC in the chest at his power center and knocking him back. Batman insists that they were supposed to take Kafka alive but OMAC disagrees. OMAC gains the upper hand in his battle against Kafka and is preparing to unleash a lethal blast at the villain when Batman intervenes and prevents Kafka’s death. Batman tries to attack Equinox, but is entirely ineffectual against the seeming omnipotence of the man in black and white. The villain explains that he answers to a higher order and functions to maintain balance in the world.

as OMAC quite literally jumps into battle with Shrapnel, Equinox (remember episode 14?) emerges from the shadows to speak to the Dark Knight. Batman and OMAC are tasked with apprehending the terrorist Kafka, who reveals his own ability to transform into the metallic super villain Shrapnel. Batman is confused by this at first, but when activated by the satellite known as Brother Eye, Buddy becomes that powerful OMAC (one man army corps). The story proper opens with Batman meeting with two faceless representatives of the mysterious Global Peace Agency (abbreviated GPA), where Batman is introduced to their top agent, a clumsy, unimpressive Janitor named Buddy Blank. Thank goodness Batman is there so a peace treaty can be signed bringing an end to the alien conflict, though it appears the conflict between Hawk and Dove may rage eternally. The peace loving Dove and man of action Hawk disagree with the best means by which to attain that end.

The teaser has Batman teamed up with DC odd couple Hawk & Dove attempting to broker a peace accord with some nondescript alien warring factions. I had reached a point where I was just trying to grind out the season, but now I am actually curious about what will happen next. Just as we go into the final few episodes of the season we get a nice invigorating shot in the arm from the character with much yet to be discovered, Equinox. So, at this point I had forgotten that this season had a (sort of) over arching story centered around a (sort of) original, mysterious villain.
