The opening scene introduces us to this red-and-blue dynamic duo.
We meet Hawk with his arms chained to a ceiling, being tortured by arms dealers.
She lets Castration Man get away, though.

Hawks feeling the burn.
Dick considers that to be a thing of the past, but clearly Dawn still thinks about it.
The Bat Cave is a no-go since, as Dick accurately explains, Bruce is no good with kids.
Hank certainly isnt happy to come home and see his girlfriend palling around with her ex.
Dawn makes clear, though, that she has no interest in hooking up with Dick again.
Instead, she thinks he could be a big help to them pulling off this one last job.
We also get our first taste of actualsupervillains, in the form of the Nuclear Family.
They immediately bust out some big needles and inject themselves with…something.
I think these characters make perfect sense as the villains in a dark-and-gritty superhero show.
This is a world where normal, happy people are monsters, and sad lonely people are heroes.
At first it seems easy…too easy.
All Dove can say afterward is Jesus.
Unfortunately, its not a happy ending.
One thing I like about this scene is that it proves the utility of superhero costumes.
Theyre not just for show!
Not great, Bob!
