Legends of the Batman

Welcome to episode two of Legends of the Batman, the show covering everything Batman — from the beginning! The show’s premise is a simple one. Each episode, we cover a month of Batman, be it comic books, television, movies, whatever, starting with his first appearance in 1939.

This time out, Michael Bradley and Michael Kaiser take a look at all Batman material released in May of 1939, which consists of a single issue, DETECTIVE COMICS #28, where Batman takes on Frenchy Blake and his band of jewel thieves, and has way too much fun doing it!

The Thrilling Adventures of Superman

Welcome to episode 14 of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman. The show’s mission is to explore the history and development of the Superman in his formative years by chronicling the Man of Steel’s Golden Age adventures in comics, radio and film.

As the show gets back to it’s regular routine, Michael dives head-first into the comics rack with a look at ACTION COMICS #11. A pair of ne’er-do-wells are bilking investors with a phony stock scheme. This looks like a job for… Homer Ramsey? Of course! But don’t worry, Superman gets involved as well, taking on the oil stock swindlers… and giving them a taste of their own medicine. After all, what’s a Superman story without a little arson? Yes, we said arson. Plus, Michael reads more listener email!

QUOTABLE:
That finishes Homer Ramsey — his work is done. Now it’s time for Superman to step in!

The Thrilling Adventures of Superman

Welcome to episode 11 of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman. The show’s mission is to explore the history and development of the Superman in his formative years by chronicling the Man of Steel’s Golden Age adventures in comics, radio and film.

This episode, we go back to the spinner rack as Michael dives head-first into ACTION COMICS #10. You won’t believe your ears when you hear the shocking and unbelievable events that fill this episode. Clark Kent… revealing a source? Superman… aiding a prisoner? Lois Lane… berating Clark Kent? Okay, that last one’s not a stretch. But the other two? Not a hoax! Not a dream! And certainly not an imaginary story (since comics haven’t started using them yet…). No, they’re all part of the wacky antics that follow when Clark learns of abusive treatment at a prison camp and tries to set things aright.

All this, and Superman proves he most certainly does not support his local SPCA! Krypto’s gonna be so-o mad…!

QUOTABLE:
Are we actually supposed to eat this slop?

An iconic image


No, really. How his this different from how she normally acts?

Same old Lois


Clark, there's got to be a better way than allowing a man to be flogged.

It's for the best!

The Thrilling Adventures of Superman

Welcome to episode nine of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman. The show’s mission is to explore the history and development of the Superman in his formative years by chronicling the Man of Steel’s Golden Age adventures in comics, radio and film.

Superman: Wanted as a criminal? That’s the situation in this hijinks-filled episode when Michael takes a look at ACTION COMICS #9, which follows up on Superman’s actions from last issue. A bounty is put on Superman’s cape and two detectives set their sights on getting the money in their pocket and the Man of Steel behind bars. And as if that wasn’t enough to keep our hero busy, Clark Kent also has to deal with the most off-her-rocker Lois Lane yet. Also in this episode, Michael reads another email from a listener and offers the worst impression of a 50s TV star ever!

QUOTABLE:
Clark Kent — I DESPISE YOU!
Lois Lane

Flight? Not quite, but almost!
