Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s New York City and an animated Wall-Crawler. The three-parter introduces the alien symbiote (here found on the moon by astronauts in search of precious elements), gives us Spider-Man‘s (Christopher Daniel Barnes) run in the costume, and plays out one of the series’ long-running threads in the creation of Venom (Hank Azaria). The arc also gives us a pair of Spidey villains in the Rhino (Don Stark) and the Shocker (Jim Cummings), both working for the Kingpin (Roscoe Lee Brown) in retrieving the valuable moon rock which J. Jonah Jameson (Edward Asner) wrongly believes Spider-Man stole.

Despite showrunner Mattson Tomlin‘s assurance that the new Netflix anime set within the Terminator universe treats all the films as canon (a troubling proposition in its own right as the films don’t really fit together), the opening episode of Terminator Zero feels distinctly separate and different from what has come before. Jumping between 1997 and a cliched workaholic father’s science experiments and 2022 where the machines are hunting down the last of humanity, the most the show feels like the original Terminator is in a brave young woman (Toa Yukinari) running from, fighting, and escaping a Terminator after her. Although it appears both she and a Terminator will join the 1997 time fairly soon, in the opening episode it’s definitely the weaker of the two stories.

Hmm, okay? The oddest episode of the First Season of Batman: Caped Crusader introduces a ghostly anti-Robin Hood terrorizing the poor of Gotham City by robbing from charities and the like. While the episode’s B-story continues to play out the seediness of Gotham City in Harvey Dent (Diedrich Bader) falling behind in the polls and accepting the help of Rupert Thorne (Cedric Yarbrough) which will have repercussions in the final two episodes of the season, this ghost story certainly seems a bit out of place. The ghost does weave into Harvey’s story, giving him another public black eye and causing the candidate to take a hard look at Thorne’s offer.
