What makes you think you can take on Superman, when you can’t even handle a mere mortal in a fright mask?!
In this episode of All Star Superfan Podcast, Alan and Rob are joined by veteran rewatch podcaster Lance Laster for a retrospective review of “World’s Finest,” the legendary Batman and Superman crossover from Superman: The Animated Series. Batman and Superman must put their differences aside to face a combined threat from The Joker, Lex Luthor, and an army of killer robots! Originally aired as a three-part episode and later released as The Batman/Superman Movie, this is peak DC animation very near and dear to our 1990s hearts.
Along the way, we ask the important questions:
Would Batman really fall in love with Lois Lane?
Just how bad is the Joker’s aim?
Is Lex Luthor a great negotiator or not?
And… what on Earth happened to Bruce Wayne’s "public persona" voice?
All of this and much more, as we celebrate everything that makes World’s Finest such a standout chapter in Batman and Superman history.
PLUS: We branch out into some of our other favourite World’s Finest-style Batman/Superman stories, including Public Enemies, The Dark Knight Returns, Superman/Batman Generations, and the recent Tom King Batman run. Inevitably, comparisons are drawn to visionary director Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice... batten down the hatches, folks!
