The trope in superhero comics must go back at least to the Golden Age.Wriphehttp://www.wriphe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-56961283806466072602016-03-02T23:04:07.877-04:002016-03-02T23:04:07.877-04:00Funny story about this episode.

On September 16, 1991, the Darkwing Duck episode "Duck Blind" was broadcast. The titular hero gets temporarily blinded by a villain and used technology to work around it--but Darkwing's story had more slapstick.<br /><br />Not saying anything about where creators get their inspiration, especially since both titles are rather obvious wordplay.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382811944483828955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-44226123268859064672016-03-02T22:13:40.338-04:002016-03-02T22:13:40.338-04:00A complicated question.

Probably due to BTAS' first season being more than 60 episodes across three DVD sets, with 2 in set #2 being second season... I think things settled down after Batman though.<br /><br />So Season 1 will be followed by a year's run of Batman Adventures comics. Then 2 (and Mask of the Phantasm), then comics, then 3, and so on.<br /><br />After 4 seasons of Batman, 3 seasons of Superman, though SubZero shows up near the end of that 2nd season, and I probably have to alternate the two last seasons with New Batman Adventures.<br /><br />Then Batman Beyond (3 seasons) with Return of the Joker in there. Then Static Shock, alternating with Zeta Project. Then Justice League (and all the while, doing comics in between each season) and JLU.<br /><br />Mystery of the Batwoman, Chase Me, Gotham Girls and Lobo all fit chronologically where they would have been released in the schedule.<br /><br />Or is that too much information?Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-44767317136316793812016-03-02T20:54:52.829-04:002016-03-02T20:54:52.829-04:00Mentioning that this is Penguin's last ep as t...Mentioning that this is Penguin's last ep as the main villain makes me realise how quick this series has gone. Also, any idea what order you're doing everything in? I need to order some DVDs before you get there, and since some of them will be coming from the US it'll take some time. (Also, tip to any Brits reading this... With the exception of the very first season of BTAS, all the DCAU DVDs appear to be multi region. Or at least, region 2 compatible.)LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.com
