Ready for some silver age silliness? For the first time, we are talking Superman's best pal: Jimmy Olsen! We start with a brief history of the redheaded sidekick, his first "official" appearance back in 1941, and an issue of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen that seems our hero transform into a werewolf, don drag to pretend to be a woman, befriend a leprechaun (that's really Mr. Mxyzptlk) and lots more zany shenanigans. We wrap up by talking about our favorite onscreen Jimmy's and what we want to see next from the character. Ep. 151 What if Jimmy Olsen became a werewolf, a woman and was friends with a leprechaun?from Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #44 (DC Comics)Find us at https://linktr.ee/dearwatchersGrab your bow ties and sweater vests, it's a deep dive into Jimmy Olsen! We kick off with a look at the origins of the character, from office boy to cub reporter to (eventually) photographer including early appearances in Siegel & Shuster penned issues. Then we jump into the wacky world of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen in a three-part issue that sees Jimmy transform into a wolf-man, go under cover as a chorus girl and battle an inter-dimensional trickster, all set to the terrific art of Curt Swan. We wrap up by discussing Jimmy onscreen from Lois & Clark to My Adventures with Superman and speculate on Skyler Gisondo's take on the character in James Gunn's upcoming film.

After last week's special Flash-themed Spotlight episode derailed the Good Brothers a bit, they're back on track with one of their last original Superman: The Animated Series reviews wrapping up the trilogy of Bizzaro episodes with "Little Big Head Man." The hosts decide whether Writer Paul Dini and producer Bruce Timm's thoughts of this episode being "annoying" align with their own thoughts while discussing a tag-team of visuals by two animation studios with less-than-stellar histories. The hosts also talk about a wonderful Kristopher Carter soundtrack utilizing a few different styles of music, head-canon for why the Metropolis SCU has such powerful weaponry, Mxyzptlk's hatred of Superman for being Superman and why there's only one formal wear for female attorneys, teachers and newscasters in the DCAU. All of this and exciting reveal of a visit to an Elseworld for next week's episode that the hosts have not yet traveled to, all on this week's brand new DCAU Review!

Denis covers three really fun stories in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #53! One where Jimmy Olsen is made tiny and sad inside the bottled city of Kandor! The second story is the cover story of Jimmy becoming a giant turtle monster inspired by an old sci-fi pulp! And in the last story, Jimmy outsmarts Mxyzptlk in Middle Times! Not to be outdone, David decides to discuss current-day Superman comics! In particular: Superman Space Age #3, Superman (volume 6) #1, Action Comics #1052, and Batman/Superman: World's Finest #12!

The other stuff being whatever DC decided to put out while Superman was dead and before they knew what they were gonna do for sure. Legacy of Superman #1 is a filler issue while Superman is still dead, featuring: Guardian, Thorn, Gangbuster, Sinbad AKA Davood Nassur, and Waveyrider! Supergirl and Team Luthor #1 featuring Supergirl and Lex Luthor II with his team of course! Also, Hellgrammite! And those Morlockian Mutants called Underworlders!

Come to Chicago for lunch with Carol Tilley as we discuss how we each first learned about the Comics Code, the mostly forgotten rich kid origins of Blondie's Dagwood Bumstead, the unsettling inconsistencies she discovered while going through 200 boxes of Fredrick Wertham's papers, what those documents reveal about how he came to believe what he came to believe, what it means to research with the brain of an historian, the proper pronunciations of Potrzebie and Mxyzptlk, her efforts to track down those who wrote letters to the Senate protesting comic book censorship during the '50s (including one of the founders of the Firesign Theater), the enduring power of EC's "Judgment Day," why she believed comic book censorship would have occurred even without Wertham's input, what she thinks he'd make of today's comics, how Wertham felt about the way comic book fans felt about him, and much more.

Superman 3 is a movie that shows how Hollywood tries to take a star and cram them into an existing scirpt. They wrote a Brainiac and Mr. Mxyzptlk movie then brought in Richard Pryor but tried to keep the same weird plot points. So nothing makes sense in this movie. Also there is a lottery plot and Lana Lang love story. Also this movie is an old time slapstick comedy.Hate Watching is the Show that figures it all out way too late.#Superman #Superman3 #RichardPryor #noGoodIdeas #brainiac #slapstick #MrMxyzptlk

During TVLine'sFall Preview Q&A with co-showrunner Wendy Mericle, it was confirmed that Emerson will be playing one of at least two main threats to Oliver Queen.[Text Wrapping Break]“This character that we're having [Michael] play is somewhat similar to people has has played in the past,” Mericle “But we had many conversations with him about how to make it different, and what elements we could bring to the character to change it up.” Whatever Emerson is now up to on Arrow, the bosses are loving what they're seeing. “He is a dream to work with, and I think he's doing an amazing job,” raves Mericle. “We've seen some dailies of some of his episodes and he's just fantastic. He's a really understated, subtle actor, and that brings a different energy on set. It's great.” https://tvline.com/2017/08/27/arrow-season-6-preview-michael-emersons-mystery-villain/ Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on The Flash, Grey's Anatomy, This Is Us, Scandal, Supernatural, Lucifer, Chi Fire and More (Date: 23 August 2017) Question: Any possibility of having an all-girls mission during Season 6 of Arrow? — “You know, we always talk about that — across all the shows. And it's totally possible,” Arrow boss Marc Guggenheim answers. “But truth be told, I wouldn't want to do it unless we could figure out a way to get Sara (played on Legends by CaityLotz) in there as well. One of my favorite episodes was 406, where we had Speedy, Black Canary and Canary all fighting side-by-side-by side together, and that was a blast. Seeing three badass women was really, really awesome. [An all-girls mission] is on our ‘bucket list,' but I really want to figure out a way to get Sara in there as well.” http://tvline.com/2017/08/23/this-is-us-season-2-spoilers-jack-kid-young-flashback/ New ArrowverseTrailer Teases A Flash/Legends Crossover (Date: 24 August 2017) The teaser blends footage from last season with new scenes from each of the four DC/CW shows - Supergirl, The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow. It shows Barry Allen and Iris West face to face in a strange, dreamlike sequence. We get a sense for what that other Flash, Wally West, might be up to once Barry is back in the saddle. In a short scene, Kid Flash and Citizen Steel are hanging out after a fight, with Nick Zano'sNate complaining to Wally that the speedster failed to leave him any bad guys to fight. http://comicbook.com/2017/08/25/new-arrowverse-trailer-teases-a-flash-legends-crossover/ GENERAL DC TV NEWS The Flash adds Katee Sackhoff as DC Comics villain (Date 21 August 2017) Katee Sackhoff has joined the cast of The Flash in a recurring role, EW has learned exclusively. The Battlestar Galactica alum will play DC Comics villain Amunet Black, a.k.a Blacksmith, a steely and badass boss of an underground black market for supervillains. Amunet uses every means possible, including the long list of metahumans under her thumb, to ensure her illicit enterprise thrives. The actress will first appear in episode 405, interestingly titled “Girls Night Out,” which also serves as a mini-crossover with Arrow: Emily Bett Rickards will also pop up during the hour. http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/21/flash-katee-sackhoff-amunet-season-4/ Supergirl boss: 'Maggie does not die' (Date: 25 August 2017) With Floriana Lima not returning to Supergirl as a series regular, the fate of the Alex-Maggie romance has been in question during the long hiatus, but now we have some definitive news. “Maggie does not die,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells EW. “I'm sure a lot of people are afraid of that. Maggie will continue to exist in the world and we hope that if the opportunity presents itself for her, that she'll come back from time to time.” Floriana decided to move on from the show and will be written out. http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/25/supergirl-maggie-does-not-die/ EP Phil Klemmer Talks Legends Of Tomorrow Season 3 With DCLegendsTV (Date 21 August 2017) According to Klemmer, Jonah Hex has a chance of coming back to Legends. This season promises to be darker and more supernatural, which is where Darhk fits in. About Snart's return, he said, “It will be about as polar opposite as the Snart that he's played on our show. We've got a cool pitch to justify that version of him, which I don't want to give away. But it's going to be really traumatic for Mick Rory, because he has deified this version of his dead partner in his head, and in a way, Snart's return is his greatest wish come true, but the fact that he doesn't get the version that he's held in the back of his mind is deeply unsettling. Rory's made a lot of progress as well in the meantime, but he's certainly not ready to call himself a hero.” http://dclegendstv.com/2017/08/21/ep-phil-klemmer-talks-legends-of-tomorrow-season-3-with-dclegendstv/2/ The Massive DC Universe Animated Film Boxed Set Is Now Available To Order (Date 25 August 2017) The collection is an enormous Blu-ray boxed set that will include all 30 films released up until this point (that means everything but the upcoming Gotham by Gaslight) along with newly released commemorative editions of Wonder Woman and Justice League: The New Frontier as well as all five “DC Showcase” animated shorts – The Spectre, Green Arrow, Jonah Hex, Catwoman and Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam.The DC Universe Original Movies: 10th Anniversary Collection is now available to pre-order on Amazon for $299.99.

And might they do so at a party in anticipation of a certain wedding? — Here's what Flash EP Todd Helbing had to say about Ep 5: “It's really fun. The girls [including a visiting Felicity Smoak] go and have a night out in Central City alone, without the guys. And they get into some trouble.” And to the second part of your Q about the possibility of the outing being a bachelorette party for the potential future Mrs. West-Allen, Helbing responds with a laugh, “Possibly.” http://tvline.com/2017/08/23/this-is-us-season-2-spoilers-jack-kid-young-flashback/ Spoiler Room: Scoop on Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, The Flash and more (Date 24 August 2017) Any more scoop on The Flash‘s girls night out? — That episode won't be the only girl power we'll be seeing this year. “We're definitely going to see Iris' relationship with Caitlin especially developed this season, which we haven't seen before, which will be really nice for fans,” Candice Patton tells me. “Fans have been wanting to see more female dynamic on the show, and there will definitely be that. They're working closely together. Caitlin has been through so much herself in relationships, and I think if anyone can offer advice, it would be her, so she's there quite often to give Iris advice on her relationship with Barry and how to move forward.” http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/24/spoiler-room-greys-anatomy-supernatural-flash/ Spoiler Room: Scoop on Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, The Flash and more (Date 24 August 2017) SuperCorp scoop for Supergirl. — “Lena and Kara's friendship will continue to grow,” EP Andrew Kreisberg says. “There's a lot of Lena-Kara adventures early on in this season. The most interesting thing about Lena is that she is so good, and so moral, and believes in second chances, but she comes from this family of truly evil people. As people are going to realize over the course of this season, it doesn't take much to make you bad. People don't just turn evil. They do one small bad thing and then that leads to another, and then to another, and so any time you're watching Lena, you're always wondering, ‘Is this the moment when she does the one small thing?'” http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/24/spoiler-room-greys-anatomy-supernatural-flash/ Supergirl: Annable Offers New Clues About S3 Villain Reign (Date 25 August 2017) Reign will be a thorn in Supergirl's side during Season 3. At Comic-Con International in San Diego, Reign actress Odette Annable shared new details about her character. “Reign, as most of you know probably, she's a Worldkiller. She was bioengineered in a lab. She was sent from Krypton much like Kara and Clark, but her story is going to be different than any other villain that you've seen on Supergirl Seasons 1 and 2, mostly because she doesn't come to Earth to go on a killing spree,” Annable revealed. “She has a very specific agenda that she is out to do, and you will see that story unfold throughout the season. For me, it's really amazing because it's kind of a heartbreaking story and I think that you'll feel for her.” http://www.cbr.com/supergirl-season-3-reign/ NEXT EPISODE Link to Promo: (Date: 26 August 2017) http://comicbook.com/2017/08/26/vixen-animated-series-to-premiere-as-movie-on-the-cw/ Episode: Vixen: The Movie (Vixen Seasons 1 and 2) Air Date: CW SEED / Wednesday, August 30, 2017 Summary: Vixen is based on the DC Character Mari McCabe / Vixen, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to mimic the abilities of any animal that has ever lived on Earth.
