Starting on DC Universe, then leaping to HBO Max, but also notionally linked to the Arrowverse and the Titans, the Patrol has gone through some changes on screen and in the comics. Now, the third season of their truly unique show comes to an end with “Amends Patrol.”
The weird mashup of various versions of Gotham City is an interesting place. They’ve taken elements from all sorts of different tellings of the various Bat-related stories, and made something new, with a collection of characters that are mostly from different times and places, with a few originals.

Considering that, obvious raw power to one side, the Ultra-Hunanite has a few specialties that are very troubling, it makes me wonder about a few things. Actually, it incites the same level of paranoia as much of the Skrull presence in Secret Invasion.
The Secret Invasion is continuing, and “Betrayed” could apply to a few developments in this episode.
The group that’s being forced to work together is starting to gel, and while I don’t think they’ll be a team for any of the usual reasons, survival is a good motivator. With most of the city turned against them, the gang really is “Under Pressure.”
