SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 11 Min.
Directed by Shaunt Nigoghossian, this episode first aired in the U.S. on September 30, 2017. Discovering an unoccupied Justice League Watchtower, Firestorm investigates. It’s up to him to convince the now-amnesiac (and apparently powerless) Clark Kent, Diana Prince, and Bruce Wayne that they are really super-heroes. They’re also his sole back-up against Felix Faust and his army of Golems. Faust has no intention of giving away the magical cure to restore the League.

REVIEW:
Played as a sitcom, the episode’s arsenal of gags hits all its targets. Aided by Stephen Tobolowsky’s monotone banter, P.J. Byrne delivers one of his best Firestorm performances. The same applies to Jason J. Lewis exploring Clark Kent’s mild-mannered persona. The inside joke of Kevin Conroy spoofing his own raspy Batman voice is one of two Bat-gems. The other is a Looney Tunes-style gag re: Batman admiring his own handiwork.
Only Rachel Kimsey’s Wonder Woman doesn’t get much to do, but her short responses to the story’s amusing twists are spot-on. Jon Cryer completes this ensemble cast with a fun rendition of Felix Faust. Overcoming the series’ chintzy animation, “Forget Me Not” delivers a delightfully witty adventure for super-hero fans of all ages.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
Note: This episode is on the Justice League Action: Battles from Beyond! 2-disc DVD set (which collects the series’ second half).
