No, that would be Batman '66. That's the pinnacle of comic related media period. Movie, television show, cartoon, whatever. The only thing that comes close are the Fleischer Superman cartoons.

I didn't include it because it's not on a network, and also I haven't seen it because I am so sick of zombies at this point unless its Shaun of the dead or the first 3 Romero films.

And I'd consider Gotham to be a Superhero show because it has Batman, just teenage Batman. I was defining Superhero show as in "does it feature characters who are considered Superheroes in comics". So iZombie would still not make it on the list, nor would Preacher if it was on already. Powers may have gotten on there, if anyone cared about Powers.

It was so ahead of its time. Witty, funny. The closest modern example I can think of is The Tick. And there is no nostalgia, I didn't see it (the show, not the movie) until I was in college. What do you find so vast about its overrated-ness?

It's on City TV in Canada

edit: Apparently according to the internets it's exclusively on Shomi (which is like Canadian Netflix). Could have sworn it was on City TV.

Exactly, that's why I thought it was not on a network. Shomi comes with my internet, and its pretty good, it fills in a lot of gaps with older movies that netflix lacks. I may have to check out iZombie if its that good, just it isn't a standard zombie thing is it? Like hordes of zombies and people running around arguing about who's the leader while they all die?

I think I get it now. iZombie is so much better than the other comic book shows that it straight up ruins the curve. That's why it "doesn't count."

When this was first announced I made a guess that the lead character will space/time jump to modern day Earth to save on sets. Doubling down on that bet.
