Crisis of Infinite Episodes - The Prehistoric Pterodactyls

Original Airdate: September 17, 1966

In this age old tale, pterodactyls escaped from icebergs requiring intervention from the Ubermansh.

Best Part: Whoa! Those birds were huge AND missile proof. It was hard to appreciate their size until one ate a jet. This really was a job for Superman.

Worst Part: It was pretty ridiculous when Supes started taunting the pterodactyls by calling them “Terry.” And then he hauled them off to space to a better planet. Not so sure dinosaurs can hold their breath that long Kal.

Onscreen History of Doctor Strange


The Internets have been ablaze with rumors that Marvel studios is pushing forward with a live action Dr. Strange movie. Marvel has long been trying to make Strange a star, but it probably wouldn't be until at least 2014 that there would be an opening in Marvels live action film slate. And believe it or not a feature film would not be the Sorcerer Supreme's first movie. Shall we take a look at the good doctor's onscreen history?

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Mermen of Emor


Original Airdate: September 10, 1966

In just 6 minutes Jimmy got captured while scuba diving, placed in an underwater glass cube, entered in fish style gladiatorial games, and rescued. Busy day.

Best Part: Yay, for the first time in animation its Jimmy Olsen.

Worst Part: Superman punched sharks in the face. Compared to the smooth animation of Superman's underwater adventure in the Fleischer days, this is laughable.

Captain America Overtakes Green Lantern at the Box Office



After his second weekend at $117 million, the Star Spangled Man with a plan has been promoted past Green Lantern in both the domestic and worldwide box office earnings. Although Cap's earnings have slowed, he still looks to land somewhere around $160 million domestic, which will most likely be enough to earn the franchise a sequel... Major America perhaps?

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - The Force Phantom


Original Airdate: September 10, 1966

Great Caesar’s Ghost! Superman fought an invading alien ship that was making an electric force phantom.

Best Part: The gloves are off. Not only did Superman throw punches but he continued to attack the phantom until the ship creating it exploded - and he showed no remorse. Superman, what have you become?

Worst Part: These just may be the aliens that influenced the trade federation from The Phantom Menace.
