This whole episode had a bunch of meta commentary on real life events but that one line about there is a difference between knowing and proving could really pay off as a meta narrative if the Light can't prove anything but half the public for some reason is willing to believe they know the truth and still hold resentment against the league and outsiders.
The Hero Registration Act was introduced during that time and explained the decline of superheroes due to the Comic Code.
What's wrong with Tara?! I don't think Helga's trustworthy at all, but Tara's done nothing wrong. Not that I can tell.
There are multiple things at play here imo
Firstly, yeah, the budget definitely feels like it has taken a hit, primarily on the animation itself.
Secondly, as a board artist, I'm just noticing a lot of really flat or stiff staging choices. The first couple seasons definitely had more of this than I originally remembered, same with the fluctuation between animation quality. Not every episode looked as nice as that opening two-parter...
But thirdly, the character designs are altered in a way that's probably hurting line mileage. Phil Bourassa has been DC's go-to artist for god-knows how long at this point. He was design lead on Young Justice, and the majority of their DTV output. But the first couple seasons were a lot more streamlined. This season has a lot more in common with the DTV style, with a lot more complex shapes, anatomy, lighting, and detailing. Look at the difference between Batman in this season and previous seasons.
Even those seemingly minor changes to the demands of anatomy and lighting really add up when you're drawing extra cheekbone details, or extra lines to shape everyone's torsos.

Batman isn't even the most significant

If the decision was due to budget it worked well, having the battle shown in Ken Burns-esque flashbacks seemed to dim the heroic aspects, which worked well considering the twist.
Weisman on twitter said basically that he's pansexual but hasn't actually been in a relationship with any people who don't identify as male or female.
You mean her being mind controlled?
Sure, but subversion could be forced control if she doesn't follow the training.
I think so! I was annoyed when she joined the show because I'm just so over Terra and the Judas Contract storyline but they might make her do a 180 before she betrays them. I hope so.
I honestly think they're going to completely subvert the Terra thing and it's just going to end with Terra ghosting Slade.
Reading episode descriptions for the rest of the episodes, yes very much so.
