I had made it through some truly insane plot twists, character turns, and an alarmingly long line of costumed heroes taking on their superhero identities while Clark Kent was stuck with being Superman in every way but name and costume. Let me tell you about when I decided to sop watching Smallville. They went full-on Justice Society/League toward the end there. heroes as opposed to the center of his own show.
Over time, Tom Welling’s unfailingly dimwitted Clark Kent practically became a supporting character in an ensemble of D.C. Smallville (2001-2011)ĭesigned to fill the recently created Buffy the Vampire Slayer-sized hole in the WB’s schedule, Smallville was Superboy without the cape and flying. It’s as camptastic as you’d expect, and you can see Hawkman in the above picture behind Batman and next to Captain Marvel. The first special involved the Legion of Doom plotting against the Superfriends, and the second special included various bits including an extended roast of the Superfriends. Legend of the Superheroes (1979)īased upon the success of Superfriends, Hanna-Barbara ran two one-hour live-action specials called Legend of the Superheroes which generally co-opted the then-popular variety show format to do live action versions of Superfriends. By my count, Superfriends went by at least 6 different names during its 13-year-run. By the third season, it was rebranded Challenge of the Super Friends, and added more characters, like The Flash. Here’s how they’ve looked in live-action and animation, limited to the shows I’ve personally seen: Superfriends (1973-1974, 1977-1983, 1984-1986) Found at CannibalisticNerdĪh, Superfriends, Hanna-Barbara’s infamously kids-friendly Justice League with Superman, Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman along with sidekicks the Wonder Twins and Wonderdog. Plus, they usually have a mace to swing around at their enemies. They wear helmets which appear to have wings, sport actual wings on their backs and are protected behind shiny gold-plated chest plates and various pieces of armor.
These reincarnated Egyptian lovers (or winged aliens, depending on which continuity you go with) are seemingly impossible characters to pull off in live-action without seeming at least a bit goofy. Earlier today, the network released its first official image of Ciara Renee as Kendra “Hawkgirl” Saunders and Falk Hentschel as Carter “Hawkman” Hall in costume, although we briefly saw Saunders as a pedestrian on the street in The Flash season 1 finale. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow just started filming its first season, which will debut next year on The CW.
