EPISODE OF THE WEEK
Well this is a special installment of the EPISODE OF THE WEEK.This week
we a classic superhero team-up: BATMAN and SUPERMAN!
Superman:TAS
Episodes #39, 40, 41
WORLD'S FINEST Parts 1, 2, 3
Airdate:Sept. 12th/13th
This is no doubt the best meeting of the superheroes and I doubt there
next meetings will top it! The animation is amazing and the plot
works! The Joker heads to Metropolis with 20 pounds of Kryptonite to
kill Superman...for a price. Where Joker goes Batman can't be far behind
but he encounters an obstacle: love. When he arrives at Metropolis (as
Bruce Wayne) he meets Lois Lane and they instantly click and hit it off!
Then the trouble begins. Batman first meets Superman in a nightclub
brawl. The Joker kidnaps Lois! Luthor is under tremendous heat from both
the Joker and the "bullies in long underwear". All I can say is that
it's an action packed 60+ minute movie that shouldn't be missed. Great
animation and a great finale! And ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY gave the
BATMAN/SUPERMAN movie (which is World's Finest) a rating of 'A-'!Not bad hunh?
EPISODE TO MISS:
SUPERMAN #26-MONKEY FUN
You can skip this weekday episode. Its not really a bad episode, but
just a run of the mill beat-the-crap-out-of-a-mutant episode. Some funny
scenes and dialogue make it worthwhile, but nowhere near a GREAT
episode.

NEWS
-WB will be having a 'special' morning centering around a special airing

winning and critically acclaimed series. WORLD'S FINEST re-airs
September 12th (or 13th) at 9am on Kids' WB!
-Plus in a recent review ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY gave the BATMAN/SUPERMAN
movie a rating of...'A-' (which is basically **** (out of 5) for all
wondering).
-Hilary J. Bader will be writing the 'GIRLS NIGHT OUT' crossover between
Supergirl and Batgirl. It's still undetermined if this is a one part or
multi part episode.
