Given that Lex Luthor is behind Superboy, that alone is cause to worry. Even if Clark didn't know that, and it doesn't seem like he did, his caution is turning out to seem justified. Plus, Superboy is still apparently full of surprises.
There is no evil plan.
Luthor just wanted to see what would happen if he fucked Kal.

Hmmm. There certainly are contingencies.
What other phrases is Superboy programmed to respond to?
If the shield patches disable his Human DNA, then is there a reverse shield to disable his Kryptonian DNA?

Well given that Miss Martian and Martian Manhunter are both telepaths, you'd think the first thing they would have done would be to root out any of that type of programming.
Software vs hardware?
I don't think that they could telepathically extract cancer or an aneurysm either.

Evidently, they failed to find it all, assuming they tried, because "Red Sun" still worked.
And Guy raises a good point. It may not be embedded in his mind.

Why didn't they do one? It's not like as if he originated from a suspicious organization that were seen mind controlling their employees, trying to kill/experiments on teenagers violating all sorts of federal bioethics laws and guidelines when they were cloning Superboy and the DNAliens.
Giving someone a taste of power and then having the person pay/do stuff for them is lex in a nutshell
Connor will probably be asked to do the lights dirty work but ultimately side with his team
^I think it's more likely that the "power patches" have an addictive quality (either by design, or as a natural by product of empowerment) that'll give Luthor more leverage to manipulate Conner's actions.
Besides the fact that there'd be no story then? Maybe they did and found nothing. Luthor is very clever and knows not to underestimate what he's up against. On the other hand, maybe trying such an invasive scan would be liable to turn Conner's brain mush. The League isn't about to forcibly lobotomise someone (yeah, I know, but JLU/Doomsday=totally different situation) just on the off chance he *might* have some deeply buried post-hypnotic suggestion that *two* Martian telepaths can't pick up on without scooping out his grey matter.

Yeah, Wonder Woman would never snap Maxwell Lords neck on TV to stop him triggering Superman as his stooge.
If Martian Manhunter or Ms Martian went into Superboy's head Luthor probably put a failsafe that would turn Superboy into a vegetable.
Blue Beetle had a trigger in him, that once flipped took out the entire Justice League, including Batman.
So in DC comics Spider-man is a bad guy? The TARDIS cameo was pretty fun.
Does anyone like those DC Nation shorts? I'm not sure who those are for, they don't seem right for the properties they're attached. I think they'd be better served with something like the Brave and the Bold opens with a variety of novel DC properties getting a chance to come to life.

Just the sort of things you expect in an episode written by Peter David. And as a bonus in-joke, the evil Spider-Man ("Black Spider," according to the credits) was voiced by Josh Keaton, who played Spidey in The Spectacular Spider-Man and several video games (as well as playing Hal Jordan in Green Lantern: TAS).
So Artemis and Cheshire's mom was once Huntress? And she was a criminal? That's news to me.
As with any anthology, they're a mixed bag, but some of them are entertaining. As for novel properties, they've already given us the first animated appearance of Wonder Girl since 1967, and upcoming shorts will reportedly feature Amethyst, Animal Man, Doctor Fate, the Doom Patrol, the Legion of Super-Pets, Shade the Changing Man, Thunder and Lightning, Vibe, and others.
Are all the shorts "wacky"? I usually DVR and don't watch GL but the ones I've seen have done nothing for me.
As good as that episode was for Artemis I really like Wally here.

The overall thrust of the shorts thus far has been comedic, but I don't see that as a bad thing. Nothing wrong with a change of pace from the serious shows.
And some of the shorts may be more serious than others. I mean, Doctor Fate doesn't strike me as a comedy character.

Not the Batman version, but the Tigress also known as the Huntress.
Weisman if I remember correctly was the assistant editor on the Young All-Stars book (where she played a prominent part) when he was working for DC.
And she was married to Sportsmaster and had a daughter named Artemis. Artemis followed in her parents footsteps and joined the Injustice Society .
Black Spider is a Batman villain, but didn't have any Spider-Man type powers or personality.
Didn't Black Spider appear in an earlier episode? And not acting so webslingerish.
But it's about time someone stood up to crusading reporters!
It's still hard to accept some guy called SPORTSMASTER as a serious villain, but hey, most of the names are goofy, right? Maybe he can get magic powers and become SPORTSCASTER.
What do ninja weapons have to do with Cheshire cats?
Batman probably knows everything about Artemis. Hell, he's probably her real dad.
The real traitor is Robin. Because he's the least suspect. But his name says it all. "Robbin'", he's a sneak thief. Bet he sold the Wayne family's good silverware at a pawn shop.
I'd like those teen titan shorts if they had stuck with the original designs, no giant headed/small bodied whatever you call that.
Japanese Superman/baby is messed up. For a moment there I thought his reporter mom was falling in love with Superman baby...ick.
