It's just crazy how 80's it is and how many 70s/80s show staples it checks the box for: It's illegal not to say MANIMAL in that way. It must have the proper annunciation or you get 2 years minimum. There's a whole bunch of weird forgotten superhero/sci-fi/fantasy shows from the 80s, I always like this collection of intros for them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_87i7FhkIs Leads with Automan.

It was in the collection I posted, but I like how Misfits of Science predates Courtney Cox's role in Masters of the Universe.

I really enjoy Man of Steel as well. Superman got to get in fights with people, not just lift, bend and throw stuff. Also I really liked the design of Krypton; it had this Giger bio mechanical look to it. Also Michael Shannon is always fun when he's permitted to go crazy.

Apparently Barrowman has said that he's not doing any CW stuff next season. Which is a bummer because he's always fun.

Did any of you motherfuckers mention the Cape because if you didn't mention The Cape then you have no right to talk about the best/worst superhero show ever.

They don't strike me as terribly dissimilar from other weird street level heroes at least.  timeIt's one of those things where it gets into arguments about "how do you even define superhero, maaaan?" Like, does the super in superhero stand for superhuman? Does that mean the turtles can't be superheroes because they aren't human? Or more importantly, what do the turtles do that is heroic, really? The comics are the biggest "against" here, as they are basically just a clan of child soldiers trained and raised only to murder the Shredder for revenge. Which they then immediately do, in issue 1. And then again a couple times later. And his death leads to a major gang war in NYC, a repeating cycle of vengeance, was it really worth doing at all or did we only make things worse, etc. They do things that maybe help out humanity / the planet by happenstance but for the most part are only just trying to stay alive and fighting their own enemies for personal reasons. Casey and Raphael are sometimes portrayed going out on vigilante patrol but they're mostly doing it because they have anger problems and wanna punch someone. It's one of those things where you have to get real specific, like OK 2003 cartoon Michelangelo at least WANTS TO be a superhero. And he meets some actual superheros and fights villains with them but what exactly is his superpower? But then you could say that about Batman too. Blah blah it's a whole thing haha. There's actually a part in the 4th volume of the comics where they get entry passes for like a top secret superheros only hospital, because actual superheros do exist in Mirage and the turtles helped some of them out a couple times. I guess you could argue that as evidence but ehhhh.

Greatest American Hero had a lot going for it. I still know the theme song. Of course, William Katt only did two good things as an actor, Greatest American Hero and House. Although, for my money, Knight Rider would be the best Superhero show of the 80's. KITT is absolutely a superhero.

Yeah and then you're roped into 20 years of Power Rangers too. Oh, and they crossed over with Masked Rider, that's in there. Oh and those are made from Japanese shows dating back to the 70s? Better stock up on popcorn. Gonna just assume Japanese Spider-Man is already done.

It was just done in the worst possible way (and I can honestly think of like a half-dozen ways to do it and still maintain the base idea of the TMNT).

It starts out with relative subtlety too, I loved how Dick slowly figured out something was really wrong and that Batman being a controlling freak is actually a bad thing.
