Blogathon: Saturday Morning Memories Announcement

Posted on by Bubbawheat

It has been a lot of fun running this site for the past few months, but one thing I would like to see more of is some interaction, and what better way to do that than by having a blogathon that everyone can join in on. And here at Channel: Superhero some of the earliest superhero TV shows that any of us have watched are the Saturday Morning Cartoons of our youths. So for this blogathon, I’d like us to go back and revisit some of those memories of the cartoons we grew up with. Not only that, but most of us now have kids and the landscape of superhero cartoons have greatly changed over the years. It makes me wonder what they would think about the shows that we watched in our youths.

Episode Title: “Mystery in Space!”

Original Air Date: March 13, 2009

After a nice two part story, the series brings us back to the comfortable format that we have come to expect with this show. Additionally the creators have brought back a favorite guest hero along with throwing in a couple of new faces (as well as one character with absolutely no face at all)

Episode Title: “Game Over for Owlman!”

Original Airdate: March 6, 2009

Comic books have a long tradition of crossover events, where various characters from several titles come together for an epic adventure that has repercussions on the entire company wide continuity. Continuing the tradition of trying to bring the experience of comic books to the television viewer this second part of a 2 episode story arc brings many of the elements of the B n’ B universe together.

Episode Title: “Deep Cover for Batman!”

Original Airdate: February 27, 2009

Though I am sure there are still some nooks and crevices the series has not yet explored on Earth-1, it looks like the creators felt now was the time to introduce the viewers to the idea of the DC multiverse. This episode took us to the role reversing world known as Earth-3, certainly providing confusion to some while building what is perhaps the most epic story from the show so far.

Episode Title: Pawns of the Kingpin

Well, Marvel’s new Daredevil series on Netflix has been a big hit in the week since it debuted. I guess it’s only fitting that this week’s episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends puts the wall crawler up against the big baddie of that series, Wilson Fisk…the Kingpin. For a villain this big, and he is BIG, it also helps to have Captain America join in the fight. Continue reading Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends S:01 E:12

Webseries: Bad Days S:01 E:06

Episode Title: Hellboy
Original Airdate: 11-12-12

Welcome to another Webseries Spotlight where you don’t just have to read about the shows we cover here, but you can actually watch them. This time around I’m featuring an animated webseries from Klomp Animation based out of the Netherlands about superheroes having a bad day, appropriately called Bad Days. We will be sharing an episode, a part of our conversation with lead animator and co-founder Junaid Chundrigar, and/or some behind the scenes pictures each week every Thursday. But if you can’t wait, feel free to check out the rest of the webseries at Stan Lee’s World of Heroes and CineFix. This week it’s time to take a look at a character that’s not from Marvel or DC, and has a big, red right hand.

Episode Title: “Return of the Fearsome Fangs!”

Original Air Date: February 20, 2009

So far this series has taken us to medieval times, a post apocalyptic future, the after life and into the cosmos, and just when I think I’ve seen it all, it gives us the old west and a mystical Kung Fu adventure. While exploring previously unexplored corners of the DCU this episode also takes extreme liberties with the Batman origin story. This episode is perhaps bold, but not necessarily rewarding.

Episode Title: X-Men

This week it’s time to take a look at a band of mutants including a few who have yet to really make a major appearance on the big screen.

Batman Beyond S:01 Ep:11

Posted on by Elwood Jones

Episode title: Disappearing Inque

Original air date: May 8, 1999

While the last few weeks have seen the show forming a colourful rogues gallery, this week sees the return of arguably Terry’s toughest foe “Inque” who last time we saw her was turned into an ice cube and being shipped off to Gotham Cryogenics. Surprisingly the episode opens to find her still there especially when most shows will open to find the villain of the week already free and working on their latest scheme, so it makes for an interesting change for a villain to still be incarcerated when we meet them again.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E10

Episode Title: “The Eyes of Despero!”

Original Air Date: February 6, 2009

In this series we usually get to see an interesting team-up between Batman and another hero, but occasionally Batman seems like a tacked on guest in his own series. This episode is one of the latter feeling like a Green Lantern Corps adventure, that just happens to have Batman in it. Continue reading Batman: The Brave and the Bold S01 E10
