Crisis of Infinite Episodes - The Man Who Knew Superboy's Secret

Of note, unless my calculations are wrong, this marked the animated debut of green, or actually of any color, kryptonite. It was also shown in some of the New Adventures of Superman episodes that aired with the Adventures of Superboy, but I believe this one debuted first chronologically. The element was first introduced to the mythos via the Superman radio show in 1943 but found its way into the comics in 1949. It was originally supposed to be very rare, arriving as a single meteorite on earth, but as seen in this episode, common criminals or aliens could manage to accumulate bowling balls worth without too much trouble. By the time Smallville came around, kryptonite was about as common as sand.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Krypto's Calamitous Capers

Since yesterday's ramblings, I was amused to learn that Krypto has in fact had a secret identity! At least on the Krypto The Superdog series, Krypto was the secret identity and Superdog the alter ego. Who knew?

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - The Spy From Outer Space

So I had a lot of funny thoughts seeing Krypto in this episode. First, its kinda cool that Superboy had a super pet to keep him company, but then I wondered what happened to the dog between this time and the time of the New Superman Adventures? I mean the dog was never mentioned. Did he die, or leave, or what? Also, When Krypto approached Clark Kent I wondered (for a moment this was actually a real question in my mind) does Krypto have a secret identity? Or had he ever in the comics? I mean, it sounds kind of dumb, but that costume is a real give away. And if he did have a secret identity, what would he be called? Obviously he wouldn't have glasses, but maybe a fake patch of color. Anyways, I guess I am getting sidetracked.

Giant Robot Bears? Watch the Berbils Return to Thundercats

Thundercats is the new Battlestar Galactica. Now hear me out, or should I say "bear" with me through an explaination. Like the original BSG, the '80 animated Thundercats series is fondly remembered but does not hold up well outside of one's fond memories. Also like BSG, the Thundercats was given a second lease on life in the form of a reimagining that thus far has offered a superb new series while paying tribute to the best parts of the original. Up next is the reboot's interpretation of the Ro-Bear Berbils.
