Super Weekend Watching

[MovieAddict]

Since it is Super Bowl weekend, I was wondering what everyone’s favorite football themed superhero episode or film. I always like to watch superheroes on Super Bowl weekend, because I haven’t cared for football since Joe Montana retired and I love superheroes, so it is still a Super Weekend for me.

I will start, my favorite is, no surprises here, Wonder Woman “The Deadly Sting.” It is about a guy who is using blowdarts to mind control people and rigs football games to win bets to fund his research. What about you guys? What do you choose as your favorite football themed superhero content?

By the way, I am not just limiting to DC if your pick is truly from another company or even a non-comic based superhero. I just want to see what everyone else enjoys…

The football themed episodes in Smallville. It is why I always think of 8 as being his canon number.

Do you have a favorite of the Smallville football episodes? I think mine would be “Hothead”

[MatthewHecht]

Same one. Great episode.

I also love the episode with in name only Myxy.

[MovieAddict]

I wish we had seen more of Mxyzptlk. Underrated character for sure…

Gotta go with Batman: The Animated Series’ “Fear of Victory”.

[MovieAddict]

Oohh, didn’t even think of that one. Good choice.

A Super Bowl-flavored edition is also available:

“Collector’s item!” Mmhmm.

@MovieAddict

Nice find

Thank you.

When I was a kid, I had this issue that came in a bundle of assorted Marvel books I got for Christmas around '91 or, at the latest, '92 (ah, the days of when Sears and J.C. Penny sold comic bundles for Christmas):

Even as a kid, I knew it was goofy. Fun, but goofy.

@Shayera.Hol

Very fitting!

A touchdown of a uper pick, you could say.

I loved the Sears Wish book as a kid

My four eyes were glued to that and the Penny’s Christmas catalog every Christmas throughout my childhood.

[MovieAddict]

It was literally Christmas before Christmas…

[Vroom]

Indeed.

My family kept all of our Christmas catalogs as part of our Christmas decor, so it was Christmas before Christmas and, depending on when the 'rents and us kiddos took everything down after December, Christmas after Christmas.

Young Clark’s punt in Superman I

[MovieAddict]

That one definitely went the distance…
