Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Krypto, K-9 Detective


100th Episode Spectacular!

Time to toot my own horn. *toot toot* Even though most of the segments I have watched so far have clocked in at just 6 minutes, 100 of them add up to 600+ minutes. That's over 10 hours of Superman / boy cartoons! Mom will sure be proud that I am making something of my life. Can't wait to see what the next 100 have in store.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Finger of Doom


This is more like it. The episode started of with an astronomer observing a "rogue"star when all of a sudden, the waves from the star made the entire observatory explode! Apparently, the explosion also made the scientist evil and gave him glowing red hands. Superboy's solution, destroy the star. No big deal right? And for some reason the star was pretty small and close to Earth. Maybe I am just unfamiliar with these tiny, evil, rogue stars. I guess wikipedia verifies they exist, but still, I would think it would be pretty big.

The original comic book Batman: Year One provided much of the backbone for the film Batman Begins. This animated adaptation of the the source material took a much more faithful approach in presenting the epic tale of Batman's first year in the suit. The end result is a wonderful, but concise film that unfortunately has had some of its best parts already mined.
