I’m not really sure what it is, because an episode devoted to Clark’s friendship with Lana Lang should be a blast.
Try as I might, I just can’t love this episode. At this point in time, that’s a beyond dated trope, and as a kid this episode didn’t hold my interest much, making it a perfect example of a missed opportunity. There are some red herrings thrown around, and some nice scenes that showcase just how great of an investigative reporter Lois truly is, but the whole affair boils down to a jealous, petty man who feels spurned by Lois’ lack of interest. “Target” itself is fine, and has some interesting ideas: Lois wins an award for her journalistic skills, and becomes the target of an anonymous, vengeful assailant. It’s just a shame that this episode wasn’t better, because Delaney is great. To Delaney’s credit, that just goes to show how she made such a huge impact on Lois’ characterization, even when she wasn’t at the forefront. #45Ĭonsidering the inimitable mark Dana Delaney left on her portrayal as Lois Lane, it’s kind of shocking that she didn’t get a spotlight episode until well into the second season. So, dear reader, here is a list of every single Superman episode, ranked from least to greatest, all for your reading pleasure.
EP MOVIE MAGIC SERIES
While the series ran for 54 episodes, I combined the multi-part episodes as single entries, bringing the grand total to 45. Superman, on the other hand, really only has one episode I’d consider bad, and the rest range from average to stellar. Yeah, Batman is the better show overall, but it had a few lows among its incredibly high highs. One thing that I’ll say, though, is that this series is consistent. In viewing the entire series again, some of the episodes were just as great– if not better– than remembered, others were a pleasant surprise, and still others were a disappointment. With this iconic series once more widely available for purchase on physical media, and in celebration of its 25th anniversary, I’ve watched every single episode to see just how well the series holds up. As I said, it’s an excellent series, and having just been released on Blu-Ray, it is stunning, even watching it two-and-a-half decades later. Namely: become what is widely considered to be the definitive take on the character, his supporting cast, and overall world.Īlthough Superman is a very good series, it never quite reached the same level as Batman, but you can’t say it didn’t try. The first of those was Superman: The Animated Series, which premiered in 1996 and sought to do what Batman did before.
