This is Nostalgia Pirates! The show where you come for a safe place to cry joyful tears about the release of Brandy’s Cinderella on Disney Plus, the reboot of Rugrats, and coming attractions like Kid90…while also shedding mournful tears over the collective realization that yes, we should have all just left Brittany alone.
Today we’re watching Justice League Unlimited. Season 1 Episode 2. Titled “For the Man who Has Everything.”
In this episode we find Batman and Wonder Woman on their way to the Fortress of Solitude to spend time with Superman for his birthday. As a person going on their second covid-19 quarantine birthday, the irony of this choice is not lost on me. When Batman and Wonder woman arrive, they immediately find Superman standing in the middle of the icy cave with a parasitic plant stuck to his chest that is making him hallucinate a world in which Krypton was never destroyed, his parents never died, and he has a wife and child to call his own.
