Most dictionary definitions of superhero include having superhuman powers as one of the criteria, which annoys me to no end considering Batman, obviously one of the most popular and famous superheroes of all time, doesn’t meet this criterion. The truth is, I don’t think a good definition of a superhero can really be summed up […]
If you’re at all familiar with the Young Justice cartoon, you might think this article sounds a bit boring. And I don’t blame you; the problem with this cartoon’s incarnation of the Man of Steel seems glaringly obvious: in Season 1, he refuses to engage with Superboy, despite Superboy desperately wanting his guidance. (This version […]
In fact, it’s so close to what I would’ve done it’s almost a bit weird! We don’t have a release date, or a trailer. But a new Superman cartoon, My Adventures with Superman, has indeed been announced, and we do have a teaser screenshot and a bit of information. I’ve thought for a while that […]

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 […]

It’s often claimed that there are no good Superman video games. I’ve only played two Superman games so far, but I’m going to dispute that claim slightly, because I think both of these games can at least be described as decent or kinda good. Neither of them are great, but they both have some positive […]
Once my sister said to me that Superman is the best character because he’s bulletproof. So many action characters, such as Batman, just seem to miraculously dodge the bullets every time. Either that, or everyone attacking them apparently has a horrible aim. So in a way, Superman is the most “realistic”. Obviously his powers aren’t […]

Sons of the Fathers (Static Shock season 1 epsiode 8), despite a somewhat silly name, is an episode I’m rather fond of. 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 […]

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 […]
