Watchmen was okay I guess, but it was too slick-looking for it's own good, and the slow-fast-slow fight scenes looked ridiculous. It's as if they took the original comic, and replaced Dave Gibbon's art with Jim Lee splash pages.

Oh, it's bad alright. I do like the "evil" superman part though.
You might be on to something with the generational thing. I was born in '71, so Superman was the first non-Disney movie I saw in the theater and it just stuck with me ever since.
You mean like AICN's Harry Knowles embarrassing gush of a "review", calling this the greatest superhero movie ever?
A lot of towns have curfews when it comes to Trick-or-Treating, plus people run out of candy, so pickings are slim by 8:00 anyway.
Except that in late October, it's not that bright out at 6pm
Who won that fight again?
Hard to believe it's been 20 years, but then I thought back to the last time they did live Mr Show reunion tour and that was ten years ago.
Dollar Bill Wirtz has the correct answer
Yeah, but she likes Rigby well enough to forgo wearing her glasses just to get his attention, even if it means bumping into tables.
Haven't watched this show in a long time, but the one episode that I'll always remember is the one where a mobster and his girlfriend figure out Superman's secret identity, so in retaliation he flies them to a remote cabin on a mountain so they won't blab. Then the couple dies later trying to climb down and escape.
I thought George Reeve's take on Clark Kent was cool. He may have been mild-mannered, but he was nobody's milquetoast. And yet somehow he still seemed different enough from Superman that you could almost believe the disguise.
Loved that show. Back in the pre-VCR days when that aired, I remember getting panicky if my folks had us out the evening it was on. Even if it was for something nice like going out to dinner, I would be in a rush to try and make it home on time for that show.
Well, both Wonder Woman and The Hulk were huge shows when I was a kid. But for nostalgia's sake I gotta go with Superfriends. No other cartoon on Saturday mornings captured my attention like that one.
Me too. The Christopher Reeve Superman movie was one of the first live-action movies I saw in the theater as a kid, but it's (comparatively) superior special effects and acting still did not sour my experience watching the George Reeves version.
Wow, had no idea Jack Larson was gay
uselessbeauty: Hippolyta as Wonder Woman was so bad. Not only was she somehow indistinguishable from her own daughter, it also forced a continuity rewrite from the post-crisis WW story, and not necessarily for the better.
Catwoman was a disaster, but I really did like his previous movie Vidocq.
How about Magog's trial in that flashback sequence in Kingdom Come? The only time I can think of where Alex Ross illustrated the 90s "ponytailed" Superman, which I believe he was on record as not liking at all.
That episode also reminds me of the end of Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum graphic novel, where Batman's fate is left up to a coin flip from Two Face, who lets him go despite the coin coming up scarred.
