Their plan is simple lure Savage in close by offering to give up Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and Hawkgirl, then snatching the staff and turning it against him.Īnd so they do that. The only trick - other than not angering Nintendo's lawyers - is getting close enough to grapple with the old coot to use it. First, they need to create a power glove. So where did all this leisurely, intimate acting get us? Pretty damn far.Įarly in the episode, the team concocts a plan to wrest Savage's most powerful totem, the Staff of Horus, from his control.
