Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Eleventh Hour

Original Airdate: November 20, 1942

This episode should have been called Superteur because Superman was the one doing the sabotage after Clark and Lois had been captured in Japan.

Best Part: Superman pulled a Destroyer underwater by its anchor. He went on to wreak all kinds of havoc on the Japanese fleet. You don't want to be on this guy's bad side.

Worst Part: Guerrilla warfare Superman and real world politics are not the best mix. This is bleak stuff that makes me sad. Perhaps it was a partial inspiration for the Elseworld: Superman Red Son.

Zoom (2006) - Quickie Review

Recommended For: 5 year olds and those holding out for a Sky High sequel.

Heroes: The new team Zenith composed of Zoom, Houdini, Wonder, Mega Boy, and Princess

Villains: Former Zenith member gone wrong Concussion

Diabolical Scheme: Concussion didn't really have a plan, but the military was really afraid of his random sonic blasts.

Coolest Moment(s): ... Um, I guess the final fight sequence. Not really "cool" but it was pretty much the only real action.

Worst Moment: Anything involving Mega Boy's powers which could also have been explained as, "he can turn into a super fat cartoon." The worst offense was his pool emptying mega butt cannonball.

Opening Weekend: $4,510,408

Total Domestic Box Office: $11,989,328

Review in 50 Words or Less: Aside from terrible acting, cheap effects, and a slow plot, the slapstick humor and relatable kids would probably appeal to that under 8 crowd. I almost want to defend the movie as long as it isn't intended for adults, at least its harmless. Plus, I liked the music.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Showdown

Original Airdate:October 16, 1942

“Faster than a streak of lightning, more powerful than the pounding surf, mightier than a roaring hurricane, this amazing stranger from the planet Krypton, The Man of Steel, Superman.” New intro eh? As it turns out Superman was now being compared to forces of nature rather than man made elements to up his threat level. I like that... "Threat Level - Superman!" That would make bad guys quake.

On to the plot. Why is Superman being so mean, oh wait! That’s not Superman! Oh its an impostor, of course. The real Superman must clear his name.

Best Part: Anticipating the bad guy making the realization that he was staring at the real Superman brought a smile to my face.

Worst Part: Superman struggled way too hard to get out of the bad guy's traps. One was just a Jabba style trap door with a desk on it. C’mon Superman, I could lift that desk. And didn't you just catch an airplane?

Animated Catwoman Revealed, MEOW!

Thanks to TV Guide, we have been given our first look at Catwoman who will have her own short on the upcoming animated Batman: Year One feature, presumably the last short in the DC Showcase line. This time around, the feline felon will be voiced by everyone's favorite doll Echo AKA Eliza Dushku. Catwoman will also appear in the main feature but may have a look that is more in line with the Year One design than this more modern take on the character. TV guide describes the short as follows:

The Buffy and Dollhouse alum provides the sultry voice for Catwoman in the animated DVD-movie Batman: Year One and as an added bonus will headline a short film included as a DVD extra. In Catwoman, the femme fatale tangles with crime boss Rough Cut (a brand-new character created for this short, voiced by Futurama's John DiMaggio) in a breathless and brutal 15-minute chase through Gotham City tracking down a mysterious cargo shipment.

We also learn the release date of the movie and short, October 18. Forgive the pun, but I think she looks purrfect.
