- Quotes
Music Meister: Put down your arms, my friends/Your arrows, guns, and swords/Your resistance to my charm now ends/When I belt these power chords/Good guys or bad guys, it doesn't really matter/You are all just slaves/To my hypnotic patter/As I regale you with my story/You'll now you have no choice/But to do my evil bidding when you hear this booming voice!/Oh, I'm the Music Meister.
Green Arrow, Black Canary, Aquaman, Gorilla Grodd, Black Manta, Clock King: He's the Music Meister.
Music Meister: And everyone just fawns.
Green Arrow, Black Canary, Aquaman, Gorilla Grodd, Black Manta, Clock King: He's the Music Meister/And we are all his pawns.
Music Meister: And so for me, it's destiny/To be the maestro of villainy/Yes, I'm the Music Meister/And I'm here to settle/The score!
[speaking]
Music Meister: You see, I too have plans for this satellite, and now that I've established who's in charge, get to work!
Batman: [observing from the Batcopter] Well, that's not something you see every day.

This was a marvellous episode. I was worried that it would take an appreciation of both theatre and cheese to enjoy it, and having seen the minority of the critical reception, I was right. With most, though, I think this is a resounding success. It is so because it's so very self aware in such an undeniably fun and self aware way.
It's so clever that it's hard not to be swept along with it. I think younger audiences simply won't understand what they're doing not having been exposed to the sillier side of theatre (especially theatrical parody), and there are those who've such a compulsive obsession with seriousness that they won't give it the time of day. It's not meant for them.
This is the heart and soul of the gold and silver ages embraced in a way that's not at all patronising or misguided. It understands what it wants to be and embraces that identity with all of the modern lustre it can. And it's so very good.
It'll fly over some heads, but it'll result in a wry smile on the faces of many more. Give it a look. Definitely one for the older and wiser among us, this.
