Superman was the first superhero by just about every definition. He started the industry, and all the others, from Batman to the Avengers and everyone else, can be said to owe him a debt. There have been many takes on him over the years, and the newest (as I write this) is a cartoon called “My Adventures with Superman.”
There’s nothing quite like a good fight, is there? The finale to Justice League Unlimited delivers just that, but this confrontation between Superman and Darkseid is particularly memorable. This speech Superman gives is easily one of my favorites in comic book entertainment across all mediums. I really enjoy hearing from Superman on what it’s like…
the show focuses more on relationships and family than on superhero action, but, as with just about everything else they do, does it well. There are some interesting developments and revelations in “In Cold Blood.”
I am going to talk about an amazing comic book which is one of the darkest comic books I’ve read: Tom Taylor’s DCeased.
There’s a lot going on in “Uncontrollable Forces” and many subplots, most of which link up one way or another. I thoroughly enjoyed the episode, as I almost always do with this series, but it just seemed to go on longer than usual. Which I was fine with, it was great, but it’s an odd phenomenon I’ve notice from time to time.
With so many superheroes shows being cancelled, supposedly as a part of the big shakeups going on behind the scenes at DC Comics, it’s nice to see that some of them are still going strong. Superman and Lois, arguably a survivor of the Arrowverse (hey, that’s where these versions of the characters started) returns for a third season, and I’d say they’re off to a good start.
They have an interesting mix of characters from the original Outsiders comics, the Judas Contract in New Teen Titans, and a few other places.
The third season of the very odd show begins with “HarlIvy,” the “couple name” of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, who have admitted their love for each other and run off together.
The second season of this fantastic show ends with “Waiting for Superman,” which will hopefully wrap up the Ally Alston saga, and resolve a few other issues. With this being a season finale, there will be some spoilers
Now, Ally Alston (a very obscure character in the comics) and her cult have managed to put two worlds in grave danger, and the Man of Steel seems to be out of action. Things are looking grim in “Worlds War Bizarre,” the episode before the season finale.
