    through a series of loopholes and bureaucratic corruption, some gotham corporation with more greed than sense legally acquires the rights to batman's image and leverages it for toys, cartoons, breakfast cereals, the works

    this includes the unofficially dubbed "Batman-Man", a theme park mascot sort of fellow who goes around to various press events in a batman costume that includes foam muscles and a big tick-esque chin

    No

    Don't make me think about this

    I'm pretty against TV Tropes but Celebrity Paradox is one that has always gotten to me hard for years

    I remember in Superman TAS, Kyle Rayner had submitted comics or drawing or something to DC Comics and got rejected

    Marvel had a 5th week event where they just put out the in universe comics for a week.

    Fantastic Four was pretty accurate. Spider-Man, less so.

  • JoolanderJoolander Registered User regular
    so I'm watching Lois & Clark on the Hub right now

    boy this sure is a weird show. Lex Luthor is in a block of ice or something?

    Teri Hatcher makes a pretty alright Lois Lane though

  • BusterKBusterK Negativity is Boring Cynicism is Cowardice Registered User regular
    I liked that show because Clark Kent was just a dude. Just a dude tryin' to get in Teri Hatcher's bed.

    Yeah Lois & Clark was a great show

    Discord Lifeboat | Dilige, et quod vis fac
  • JoolanderJoolander Registered User regular
    I mean yeah its pretty faithful in spirit and they get most things right

    but then there's odd little things like Clark's hair looking more Superman-ish than Superman's

    and apparently he goes back to Smallville every episode to ask Ma and Pa Kent for advice on stuff? (which isn't wrong, but its kinda shoehorned in)

    and dealing with 90s issues like the internet, DNA, and new age medicine is adorable

  • JoolanderJoolander Registered User regular
    oh look Superman just delivered a baby

    Man, whatever happened to Very Special Episodes?

    Sitcoms these days never stop to tell me about date rape or drugs anymore.

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    I never actually saw a full episode of Lois and Clark

    I have a vague recollection of a younger me switching between channels and seeing Clark use his breath to quickly ice a bottle of champagne

    It stuck with me because slick as hell, Superman

    I fucking love Smallville though and have no regrets!

  • localhjaylocalhjay Registered User regular
    smallville started strong, and got dumb pretty quick

    i heard they added some cool characters later, but i had stopped watching by then

    I tried rewatching that show on The Hub and I couldn't get past five minutes. The cheesiness reminds me of the Adam West Batman show. Smallville makes it very difficult for me to take it seriously at all. :mrgreen:

    Actually stuck with the show through all its ups and downs

    The lowest it ever got was season four. Goddamn, what a mess that season was

    But from season five on, it feels a lot less like a Clark Kent show and more like a Superman show

    Just, you know, without the costume

    I have the opposite opinion. The early seasons weren't very good IMO. They kept trying to be Buffy and failed miserably. Didn't watch the middle seasons but the last 3 seasons were an improvement.

    edit: Chloe blossomed in the later seasons. Lois, Green Arrow & Tess Mercer were good additions to the cast. Zod was excellent, as well.

    Technically, she joined the Legion first too.

    Then again, Legion timelines are designed to make grown men break down and cry. And that's before the reboots, deboots, retroboots...

    go go boots?

    The Legion's continuity only gets messy in the comics it's fine in other media.

    Company was started by his father, Lionel Luthor, who obviously wouldn't call it LexCorp

    Series finale spoiler
    It totally becomes LexCorp in the series finale

    But that's when it started getting good!

    Before that it basically felt like Buffy but everything was because of kryptonite exposure instead of being on top of the Hellmouth

    the guy that plays Superman just walked in the door as a Superman lookalike, using a terrible Brooklyn accent

    Why did that become a thing, anyway? Everybody wanted a smoke monster. Nobody wanted dudes in KirbyTech costumes.
