Teen Titans Go! - Hey Pizza!

As the Titans start work on building a new project community, which Robin (Scott Menville) changes from a senior center to a pool at the last minute in order to get a look at Starfire (Hynden Walch) in her new bikini, Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) and Cyborg (Khary Payton) become obsessed with finding a way to delay the pizza boy to get a free pizza. With each successful delivery under 30-minutes, the pair of heroes get more desperate and inventive even calling on the assistance of robotic sharks, drones, and even a satellite with a laser cannon.

Batman by Jim Lee Super Alloy Figure

This Batman by Jim Lee 1:6 Scale Super Alloy Figure is a little too bulky an heavily armored for my tastes, but it does come with poseable fabric cape, grappling gun, utility belt, a pair of Batarangs, over 50 points of articulation, and a magnetic display base, all of which can be yours for the low, low price of $270. For those wanting to spend a little more there’s also a special edition version.

Red Hood and the Outlaws Annual #1

/ / Comics

Red Hood and the Outlaws Annual #1The Red Hood and the Outlaws Annual picks up the recent storyline as a mind-wiped Jason Todd returns home to the secluded island with Starfire and Arsenal only to begin investigating the past he worked so hard to forget. Yeah, nobody saw that coming. Sigh.

The annual gives us a pair of notable guest-stars first being Arsenal’s mentor Green Arrow (who is way too young to have trained someone Roy’s age, making for some incredibly awkward flashbacks). The second is far more interesting as Chesire is introduced as one of many assassins looking to cash in on the bounty on Jason Todd and his friends. Although she’s unsuccessful, she does pave the way for the next wave of killers who include Bronze Tiger. With the title going to such lengths to reintroduce old characters I have to wonder if this is the title where Catman might make his return.

A whiny blank slate Jason Todd is about as bland as it sounds, and although Chesire’s appearance works the issue has a hard time determining just how many powers this new version of the character actually has (she can phase, now?). Hit-and-Miss.

[DC, $4.99]

Superman - The Last Son of Krypton

With a new Superman ready to fly into theaters this summer every now and then I’ll continue to take a look back at the hero’s more memorable moments on both the big and small screen. Following the success of Batman: The Animated Series, Warner Bros. Animation decided to try another cartoon based on their other biggest property. Superman: The Animated Series had a similar, if far more vibrant, look to that of Batman: The Animated Series but it was given a sleeker and more modern/futuristic look and lacked the earlier show’s uniquely cool Art Deco style. A mix of both Silver Age and Modern continuity, the show did justice to the Man of Steel running for more than 50 episodes before the show came to a close to allow Warner Bros. to move forward with Justice League.

Lois & Clark - Neverending Battle

With a new Superman ready to fly into theaters this summer every now and then I’ll continue to take a look back at the hero’s more memorable moments on both the big and small screen. Just how powerful is the Man of Steel? That’s the question asked in “Neverending Battle.” As Superman-mania grips The Daily Planet, and Lois (Teri Hatcher) does whatever she can to scoop the story, Lex Luthor (John Shea) designs a series of tests to discover the limits of Superman‘s (Dean Cain) powers. In a clever nod back to the 1940s radio show, Luthor’s theorizes and surmises about Superman being “faster than a speeding bullet,” “more powerful than a locomotive,” and “able to leap buildings in a single bound.”
