Note: I do not recommend that young kids read either this review or the comic being discussed due to a reference to mature content. Frank Miller is a controversial comic creator, but he’s still a talented one. I’m not that familiar with his work, honestly, but I have read one of his more recent creations, […]
NOTE: This review does not cover Season 4. Earlier, I wrote a post reviewing the version of Superman featured in the Young Justice cartoon. It wasn’t exactly a favorable review. But the show in general is another story, especially if we’re talking about Season 1. Since this site is mostly geared to people who are […]
Spoiler warning. I watched the pilot episode of Superman & Lois and, well, I didn’t find it particularly good. It certainly wasn’t wretchedly bad or anything, either. I suppose I might as well keep watching the show out of curiosity, but I won’t be surprised if I end up dropping it soon. I can’t really […]

Neither of them are great, but they both have some positive […]

If I think about it, it epitomizes many of the traits I enjoy about the show in general: an honest treatment of heavy real-life social issues (albeit in a somewhat preachy and simplistic […]

This episode directly continues from the last one and goes in a very interesting direction. I thought the different origin for Clayface was clever and I always admire when a TV episode takes risks as this one does – in this case, making a major supporting character into a villain. But I keep mentally going […]

Well, my second post on this blog which has Superman in the name and already I’m talking about a non-Superman show. Such is life! (And in fairness to me, Superman did appear in one episode). The show in question is Static Shock, the 2000s DCAU show starring teenager Virgil Hawkins and his superhero identity of […]
For my first blog post, I think I’ll start simple and just give an introductory look at my opinions of three major Superman shows. The Adventures of Superman (1950s TV show) The first thing you should know is that there’s a big disparity between the first two seasons (which happen to be in black-and-white) and […]
