Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Super Mouse in The Mouse of Tomorrow

Better known today as Mighty Mouse, this Terrytoons produced flying rodent first appeared in the 1942 theatrical short as Super Mouse in The Mouse of Tomorrow. Basically, the mouse found a supermarket, ate super soup, super celery, and super cheese and became Super Mouse. Super Mouse buffed up, beat up some cats and freed his mouse friends all while wearing a costume that highly resembled Superman's (though a few sizes smaller). Mighty Mouse had most of the same powers as Superman including flight, strength, x-ray vision, and being bulletproof, but he also had telekinesis.

Shiny New Avengers Teaser Poster Unveiled at Comic Con


This is pretty much the same as the previous Avengers teaser poster, but it sure is a heck of a lot shiner.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Goofy Groceries

In 1941, Warner Brothers under the Merrie Melodies label released Goofy Groceries. I am not going to really review this cartoon because I am pretty sure its like "really ground breaking" and stuff and I am no expert on anything non-superhero of the era. Lets just say its basically the 1940's version of Toy Story in a grocery store, which does sound pretty cutting edge if I put it that way.

Anyways, after a few minutes of dancing soup cans and a monocle wearing potato taking a dip in the sink, a gorilla animal cracker freaked out. Turtle soup tanks and gingerbread paratroopers proved no match and finally "Superguy" leapt off of a box of soap chips. The doofus got scared and turned into a baby. And thus, we were given the first animated superhero parody. Interestingly, as far as I can tell, Goofy Groceries debuted in March of 1941 and Superman AKA The Mad Scientist on September, so this parody actually predated the animated Superman. How 'bout that?





Three Leaked Clips From the Failed Wonder Woman Pilot

UPDATE: Vids have been removed, but you may still be able to find copies on youtube of the action scene and tit talk scene while they last.




Three more clips from the failed NBC Wonder Woman Pilot have found their way online. One has some wire work action, including some lasso whipping, bracelet ricochets, and oh yeah, a brutal pipe through the throat. Another has an uncomfortable amount of "tit" talk. This shows looks like it was a disaster waiting to happen, but since the pilot is in the can, why not just release the whole thing and get it over with? Clocking in at 6 minutes, these clips probably make up about 10% of the total airtime.
