SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 11 Min.
Directed by Jake Castorena, this episode first aired in the U.S. on July 15, 2017. Amidst a routine League skirmish vs. the H.I.V.E. terrorist group, time freezes in place (including Wonder Woman in mid-battle). Forced to trust the self-involved Booster Gold, Batman knows he’s the League’s only option against the energy creature known as the Chronovore. Considering this giant insect-like monster and its smaller minions are literally eating up time, it’s up to Booster Gold to prove his heroic mettle.
Booster Gold / H.I.V.E. Master: Diedrich Bader

REVIEW:
Since Diedrich Bader was previously Batman’s voice for The Brave and The Bold cartoon series, it’s fitting that this episode is practically a homage. The entertaining chemistry between Bader’s wonky Booster Gold and Kevin Conroy’s Batman is top-caliber. Beyond its somewhat chintzy animation, this adventure’s minor problem is that the script relies on predictable twists. “Time Out” is a fine episode showcasing Booster Gold, though it isn’t a memorable one.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6½ Stars
Note: This episode is on the Justice League Action: Battles from Beyond! 2-disc DVD set (which collects the series’ second half).
