This weekend, I noticed in the t.v. guide that Superman was finally appearing on Batman: the Brave & the Bold, in the episode, "Battle of the Super-heroes!". So, we made it a point to watch the episode.
My first thought was, "Wow, they're really going for the corny, old-school Superman".
Then things got real crazy.
And really funny.
Funny, that is, if you are aware of Superdickery.com.
That site collects all the crazy out-of-context Superman comic covers over the years that make you scratch your head. Superman being cruel, Lois trying to get Superman to marry her, etc.
In the episode, Jimmy Olsen even starts to say, "Superman sure is being a d..." before he gets cut off.
It’s all funny, but start with Galleries - “Examples of Superdickery” & “Confounding Covers”.
Some of these covers were directly lifted for the episode.
Just a few I spotted;
Super 1
Super 2
Super 3
And, I believe there were also a few Dark Knight Returns visuals when Superman battled Batman (Batman had armor on), but I didn't get to verify that.
Those were pretty good Paul-why wouldn't he cook a steak with heat vision? He could see when it reaches perfection = bloody medium.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for that link too.
Too funny. I've seen some weird stuff like this on Wayne allen Sallee's blog.
ReplyDeleteJust as a followup; here are some stills with matching covers.
