Super Friends! The Complete Collection

Super Friends

The classic Super Friends series is back with the Complete Collection from Warner Brothers and DC Comics!

The original Super Friends series is back and this time you can get, not just the entire series but all of the lost episodes as well! The Complete Collection is currently available from Warner Brothers are Target, Amazon and Gruv. Literally a decade worth of Justice League animated goodness for only about $75. What makes the deal even better is that the quality of the episodes have been increased to DVD format, making a much cleaner viewing experience.

The series is full of long time fan favorites, like Batman, Wonder Woman or Superman and even a bunch of classic villains too. Some may notice that stills from the show have been used for memes for years and spotting them can always be a fun game. The show is clearly meant for children of all ages, some episodes haven’t aged as well as others but that’s to be expected. If you’re a fan of Super Friends or even the Justice League then this will be a treat for you.

Batman: Three Jokers #1

Three Jokers

Fire and Brimstone fall from the sky! It is the end times! Pay attention as we discuss Batman: Three Jokers, chapter 1, verses 1-54! It may just save your soul!

This is the word according to the infamous Geoff Johns
As envisioned by Jason Fabok

The official plot:

“Three Jokers reexamines the myth of who, or what, The Joker is and what is at the heart of his eternal battle with Batman…find out why there are three Jokers, and what that means for the Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime. It’s a mystery unlike any Batman has ever faced!”

DC Comics

The official story has a lot more pomp and circumstance than this…but I edited out all of the self serving stuff. I’m also going to go out on a limb and say that this description is intended to cover the whole series…because we certainly don’t get the promised explanation.

Three Jokers
This story started…32 yeas ago with Batman: A Death in the Family and The Killing Joke

My Impressions:

  • What is good: There actually are three Jokers. I was surprised they didn’t pull a multiple personality or alternate universe thing. (But there’s still time.)
  • What is also good: Just enough flashback to Killing Joke and A Death in the Family
  • What was best: The revelation that Jason is really the Joker’s Robin. (Got to love the alternate take to Jason’s death.) [Editor’s note: Dick/Nightwing is Joker’s Robin in a more official way in the Joker War event!]
  • What was just okay: Artwork was mostly good, but there were way too many smiling fish.
  • The not so good: It’s just a little on the slow side…but worth it in the end.
