Nice idea for an NC episode, Doug. We saw your top 11 Batman: TAS episodes, and now we get to hear your thoughts of the 3-part pilot of Superman: TAS.

To tell everyone the truth, I actually watch this show BEFORE I first saw the first Superman movie. It was because of this show that I got to learn most of the mythology of Superman; his origin, his rogues gallery, exc.

2:45- Oh hi, Krypto.

Nice cameo of Elisa.

11:48- She said “Nice S,” not “Nice…” you know what I mean.

I also love that quick Batman reference. Good thing they teamed up a year later in that special 3-part episode.

13:05- I like 300, I also like Watchmen, and I’m looking forward to Man of Steel. (Note: I thankfully didn’t see Sucker Punch yet.)

13:55- For you non-comic experts, he will later become the villain known as Metalo.

16:59- Those movies are awesome. (Not really on “Brainiac Attacks”)

Like I do with the Batman series, I also have the entire Superman series on DVD, along with both Justice League series, and I have yet to get Batman Beyond (another show of the DC Animated Universe that‘s awesome)

18:24- I‘m sure this review will be as fun as the one on “He Who Shall Not Be Named‘s First Movie.”

I loved this show. It was right up there with Batman TAS in my opinion. Plus, it led to Justice League, which is one of my favorite shows of all time.

It's a shame that Darkseid didn't show up until later in the season. I would have liked to hear Doug's opinions about him.

Lana...as in Lana Lang?


First off why is it that they had the two women going after Superman/Clark Kent with similar sounding names?


I never understood that....

Speaking of two woman going after the same man....WAIT!WAIT!WAIT! WHAT!?!?! LOIS AND LEX WERE DATING!?!?! ACJHLJDHFLAJK! WHEN!!?!? WHERE!?!? HOW!?!? WHY!?!?! I mean....sorry for the caps but how is it I am only finding THIS information out in the animated series and not beforehand, was this made up for the animated series or is this piece of tidbit in canon with the Superman comic-verse!!??!!

I have to know! o.o

The double Ls is a thing in the Superman stories! Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, Lon-El, ect.
Mostly why they say for aliteration in comics back in the day was so kids could easily remember the characters names and where they were from... and Stan Lee claims it was so he could keep up with all his characters.

Well, I think LEx/Lois thing was a more modern thing. I don't know about mainstream universe but in a lot of alterante realities they do hook up but these are alternate world where either Lex is good or Superman is evil or on a different side that might not be bad but is oposed to Lois's side. Like Superman Red Son!

The idea of Lex and Lois having dated once first appeared in Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman TV series. Dini just picked up that ball and ran with it.

i literally spilled the pepsi i was drinking all over my desk when i saw a picture of L appear on screen
nice to know that the nostalgia critic has great taste in anime

Personally, I would love to have seen Doug's review of "World's Finest", where Superman and Batman team up for the first time (in this continuity anyway).

That's what I thought this was at 1st a top 10 of episodes of the Superman series! Maybe later I guess!

I grew up watching the Reeve movies on Friday night movie shows on local broadcast channels and I think I was watching Lois and Clark before this show came along!

2:45-Yep, I'm shocked no mention of the little fellow!

That would've been awesome if he could've greenscreened himself next to her dressed as Zod in pain from her singing!
5:09-I liked Judge Dredd!
6:56-What no Smallville joke!?

7:27-I'd like to point out a good reason why not here! There's a little SA called "Man of Steel, Woman of Cleanex"!
7:41-3 times just today!

9:33-but, where can I buy nooses at!?

10:18-It's a freaking ED209!!!

11:00-What no Finnal Destanation jokes!? You know because Supes saved her here is why Death is always after her now!

11:48-Wow, she can see at different angles then the picture was taken at!!
Oh, come on you all know the halfassed hidden adult humor was part of these shows' charms!

This was handled alot better than the Superman referince in Batman and Robin movie!

13:05-Me too!! Also, Man of Steel could turn out to be total crap and it'd still be a Billion times better than Bryan Singer's Superman Returns. I wait since the freaking 90s for a new cooler Superman movie and I got emo-superman and him catching an airplane as the only "cewl" effect!

13:55-One of my favorite characters in the series and was actually hoping to see him in the movies someday that or Cyborg Superman! Or a combanation of the 2!

14:11-Dammit, that's why you don't cheap out on henchmen!

14:53-Goddammit!!! They're using the walking sound effect from RoboCop 2!!! I'm not shitting you that's the exsact same sound effects of the evil RoboCop from the 2nd movie! Just give him some Nuke and let him trip balls and he'll leave you aloan!
15:00-Yep, she's female alright!
15:13-Didn't work I'm still enjoying it!

16:58-Clancy Brown's voice is the best though they should've stuck with him as the Lex voice in all those even the ones not cannon with the series! Any other voice just doesn't work for me!

17:24-That was actually quite brutal and creepy there! Almost reminds me of the Doc Ock awakening in the hospital scene in Spider-Man 2!

I've wanted to collect them all on DVD but damn they're exspincive and harder and harder to find on eBay!

18:23-I've been requesting him to review this movie since I started watching his reviews! I actually loved this movie when they'd show in on Cartoon Network and Disney every once in awhile! I'm just curious of how he got to see it or got the footage for the review since it's never gotten a legal release in the states outside old VHS tapes! I'd love to own it for Nostalgia sake! ...

I really liked the Darth Vador knockoff villain in it called the Duke!

Doug didn't mention Krypto aside from being "Just a dog" because it sounded like he had never heard of the character.
I thought it was a cute cameo.

Yet I'm now reminded of the cheesy and beyond kiddy Krypto cartoon series from around 5 years ago.

You "can" buy this on DVD sets. Though he could've gotten them off of I-Tunes or Youtube.
There's a 7 disc box set with the entire series included which was released in 2009.

Oh, I recalled seeing that cheesy kiddy Krypto cartoon on TV years ago!

But I want the DVDs of the series with Bonus Features. I love commentaries for episodes!

I like behind the scenes stuff but it's hard to watch that with Doctor Who. It kind of destroys the magic :(

"She said “Nice S,” not “Nice…” you know what I mean."

Uh, no shit. We know. Doug knows. It sounds exactly like she's saying "ass" though, and it was meant to sound that way, thus why it is funny.

My only worry is that Zack Snyder will make superman into a brutal hero who will kill people. Zack Snyder has had a speciality with darker heroes (Watchmen and 300) so I hope he doesn't change superman too much

The thing about Snyder is he's a great director just don't let him write the movie. Using Sucker Punch as an exsample for why he'd screw up Man of Steel would be like argueing that Francis Ford Coppola would ruin a movie because he made Jack. You're ignoring all his good work for the one turd!

He also manages to utterly miss the point of everything he adapts. (Okay, not 300, but that had no point to start with)

"We want you to make Watchmen, Zach"
"This is stupid, it's like the heroes are pathetic dweebs in dumb costumes, with deep issues.. Imma give them armor and kewl fight scenez! Better make the bad guy an obvious jerk, so they knows to throw popcorn while he'z pertending to be nice. Fixed!!"

Expect Superman to say "Awesome!" at least once, and kill some people.

I loved this show, but it does not hold a canndle to batman

A few things dude that you and Nostalgia Critic forgot to add:

1.Lex Luthor is not in Superman/Batman Apocolypse(sorry if i spell that wrong)

2.Brainiac Attacks was ok because Lois was dying of kryptonite poisoning

3.The Critic(and sorta you SpeddyEric) forgot to mention Batman/Superman World's Finest

4.Doug forgot to ask the question "Why the hell is Lex Luthor is african american?!"

1: Whatever.
2: What about it?
3: That's part of Superman: The Animated Series. It would have been redundant.
4: He is NOT African-American. He's just got tanned skin.

I'm just trying to make a point. And also they kept using that same damn redisign for Batman TAS and Justice Leauge. Even as a kid I asked myself "why is Lex Luthor black?" Heck, he even sounds like it...sorta. Anyway just trying to make a point. Also Marlon Brando as Jor-El was perfect for the original Superman movie. Also another thing is that they used Brandos voice in the begining of Superman Returns(very crappy movie). Also Lana Lang in the comics is in charge of LEX Corp and is kinda of Superman's enemy. HA! Top that Morgoth Bauglir!

Also if your going to call bullshit on Lana being a villan, I have happened to have read Superman/Batman The Search for Kryptonite comic and kryptonite was being put into guns. And Lana even exposed the entire earth in kryptonite. But in the end the "Superman family"(Superman,Supergir l,Power Girl,Superboy, and Krypto) were safe in the fortress of solitude(first,second,fou rth,movies also superman returns) and lana didnt even get arrested.

...yeah, and Stewie says "laugh and cry"

Interesting video.
Just curious, but what's the Phantom Zone?

Another dimension where Krypton holds it's prisoners.

it's a pocket dimension used as prison for Krypton's criminals. thus the Council's reaction when Jor-El suggested it.

Wher eGeneral Zod and his cronies were kept in Superman 2 in the 70s!

...Technically, 1980. But yes.

It was cool to see your take on superman. I liked this show growing up.

The Lexosuit looks like a cross between Mega Man and a Z'Gok. In other words, badder than most asses.

Also, I've been asking for Hackers over and over. :P

Batman is better in my opinion xD He's not an alien.

Well, remember. If we didn't have Superman, we probably wouldn't have Batman.

Hey, that's speciesist!

OMG, Doug made a Death Note reference!

*dies*

Of the many super hero shows I only enjoy Batman & Superman. I remember seeing X-Men every once in a while.

Can't wait for your take on "Felix the Cat the Movie":)

Awesome

Da na na na na Batman I like this review already.

Ive never actually seen the movie Felix the Cat. I do however love the NES game.

Their last name is "El." This is the House of El.

Technically he still is the Last Son of Krypton. Jaxur and Mala are older than Kal, Supergirl is not a "Son" and in this series she's actually from Planet Argo but somehow she's still referred to as Superman's cousin (I think the Argo bit is eventually forgotten.)

Clark claims that she's his cousin to explain their relationship. It's not a continuity issue.

You've forgotten the Jeph Loeb Superman/Batman:Supergirl book and its movie Superman/Batman: Apocalypse and how they explain that Kara was actually put into a rocket but then went into a hibernation until after Superman/Batman:Public Enemies. Also as a kid I thought Jaxuar and Mala were Zod and his chick accomplice(sorry name slipped my mind) from Superman 2. By the way in the upcoming Man of Steel movie, Zod is going to be in it. HELL YEAAH!

Hopefully in the near future your also review the beginning story arcs of Batman Beyond and Justice League. Then again the series were made in 1999 and 2001 respectively and I'm not sure if that counts as Nostalgic or not so whatever.

Can't wait for Felix the Cat!

I love the "You only get one" and "I'm going to hold you to that." I think the more Superman stuff you've seen/read over the years the better that joke is.

Does anyone remember the earlier Superman cartoon from the '80s that always ended with a segment from Clark's childhood with the Kents?

Actually they DO say what's causing it, and even said so in the clip that you spliced in. It's the core of the planet undergoing a chain reaction that makes it go boom.

It's stated later that Clark and Lana "used to date", so he actually was taking her up on that. Why they split up is never explained beyond "the plot says so."

Great look back at Superman TAS though, thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you do more shows!

Can't wait for next week, and I hope you make reference to Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat. That show was both awesome and f****d up at the same time.

Just PLEASE FUCKING REVIEW HOME ALONE 4, I want see a review of Home Alone 4 from you, because you're funny, so please review Home Alone 4 next week.

Go to the forums for your requests!

I'm not really a fan of superman but I didn't mind this show. The only thing I didn't like about it was when they tied it in way to close to the batman show. Having them crossover from time to time is fine but they went way to far when they redesigned the batman characters to fit with the superman animation better.

But that eventually led to Justice League! In my opinion, it was worth it.

I enjoyed this! And yes, there last name is "El"

Well, it depends on which Earth we're on! Earth 1 is Kal-L!

loved the series loved the review

Oh my God Felix the Cat: The Movie!! My sister and I would rent that all the time. Enjoyed this review by the way. I watched a little bit of the Superman series, but not as much as Batman though haha.

p.s I guess you never heard of Krypto the superdog

Batman was better. But Superman was at least okay.

Love the Death Note Reference, I actually enjoyed Felix the cat movie as a kid.

Yes, yes, yes, Felix the Cat!

I didn't watch much of the show; it was sadly before my time. I've seen a couple of the movies though.

Diamanda, eh? Surprised the Critic got out of that in one piece.

And I think she said "Nice S", but oh, it doesn't sound like that!

Yeah, that was the Felix movie with the whole weird princess from another more Disney looking universe with an evil uncle that's a cyborg and kind of a Darth Vador ripoff!

Can some one from another country file sexaul herrassment lawsuet!?

All intentional!

Yay! A new ROTSA!
For shame kinda-upskirt-shot!
The random ad scared me more than the horror!face

Later in the series, they explain that Brainiac was responsible for destroying Krypton in this version.

Uh, what? I recently watched the whole series and they never say that. Besides, that wouldn't make any sense!

NO WAY! HE MADE A DEATH NOTE JOKE! you just won 5 cookies

Agree :3

why dont review baby geniuses 2

Why don't get better grammar?
Besides, Mike J reviewed Baby Geniuses 2.

I totally called this one. A while ago I posted a thread for possible future Raids, and my suggestion was this exact story arc. Ah...validation, even if it was only a coincidence.
