Welcome to episode 22 of SUPERMAN & BATMAN, featuring your two favorite heroes in one podcast together!
The show’s premise is simple: Each episode, host Michael Bradley celebrates seven decades of the World’s Finest heroes by looking at stories featuring the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight, chosen at random mostly from the pages of World’s Finest Comics.
“Beasts of Plague!”
ORIGINAL PUBLICATION: World’s Finest Comics #277 (cover date March 1982)
WHAT TO EXPECT: Superman and Batman battle a time-displaced 1940s radio villain (kind of)!
ALSO FEATURING: Unnecessarily complex villain plots, unnamed B-characters and a dated David Caruso reference!
PLUS: A rundown of the book’s other contents, a look at what else was on the stands!

Hey Michael,
You are much kinder to Don Heck than most DC fans. Heck’s work often looked rushed and somewhat “phoned in” during this period, but I think it may be that Heck, much like Curt Swan, has a much more illustrative style than was suitable for some inkers. In other words, they didn’t know how to handle his artwork correctly. I don’t remember much about this story, but I do remember that weird Batman body condom. Oddly enough, Heck drew a Robin/Batgirl story in Batman Family that featured the Dynamite Duo in similar protective gear just a few years prior. It guest-starred Kid-Flash, as I recall…
Hey, where’s that Hembeck cartoon you promised? 😉
Oh, and please put the dogs BACK.
Another fun one!
Chris
