Superman: The Animated Series - Solar Power television review

Today’s Throwback Thursday takes us back to the animated streets of Metropolis and a hero who can leap tall buildings in a single bound. “Solar Power” opens with a prison break as Edward Lytener (Robert Hays) escapes Stryker’s Prison with new tech and a new plan to take down Superman (Tim Daly). Now calling himself Luminus, Lytener uses satellites around Metropolis to filter the sun’s rays making the sun appear red. Part of the genius of the plan is that the villain instigates it during a period of stormy weather with dark gray skies leading to Superman unknowingly slowly weakening without the yellow sun’s rays to replenishing him. Once the clouds part, it becomes obvious what the villain has done.

Super Dinosaur - Storming the Castle television review

Dexter (Alessandro Juliani) takes in on himself to infiltrate Castle Maximus for clues to his missing wife, but when he runs into to trouble Derek (Valin Shinyei) and Super Dinosaur (Mac Heywood) show up to help out. “Storming the Castle” offers, by far, the most field time we’ve seen for Dexter’s father so far in the series (while also alluding to a past of such adventures). However, Dexter is outsmarted by Max Maximus (Marco Soriano) who spikes the drive Derek and his father make off with an attempt to free his own father from Earthcore. The episode also features a backstory on Erica (Shannon Chan-Kent) attempting to discover more about the secret project her parents have been working on only to be surprised when it turns out to be a gift for her.
