Episode 119: Past Participant
Takes place 15-16 September 2012.
Paul has a conversation with Batman on numerous topics, including his reasoning for staying active after technically achieving his original goal of being Batman.
Paul and Kara Zor-L later go to a location where demonic activity was detected. They find the version of Nabu that comes from the same world as Demon Supergirl. He is on a civilian and the bonding process induces death on the host if he were to be removed. Paul partially circumvents this by assimilating Demon Nabu.
The version of the SI on Earth 10, who's going by Paul Freeman, is given an apartment by Overman, and takes up employment as a journalist.
- Alternate Universe:
- We get to see the version of the SI on Earth 10 again. He's gotten a job as a journalist and a way to contact Overman if he's ever in danger.
- Krono shows up again, and this time he's forced by a malfunctioning A.I. into participating in a matchmaking game, with women the A.I.'s subordinates have abducted to act as potential girlfriends.
- Continuity Nod: Batman notes the time that Paul called him functionally insane.
- Crapsack World: Demon Earth is a one that's been ravaged by demons, with only 1.5 billion humans living on it.
- Girlfriend in Canada: Kara Zor-L mentions this trope when asking Paul about Jade.
- Intrepid Reporter: Paul Freeman observes that he's basically become the Jimmy Olsen of the universe he is in, even working for "Die Tägliche Welt"note .
- Lame Pun Reaction: Superman saying they aren't in Kansas anymore causes Paul to respond that the pun was more painful than the tentacles/teeth trying to kill them.
- Switching P.O.V.: We get to see Overgirl's POV a few times in this episode.
