When the live action Wonder Woman series landed in 1976, like Batman a decade earlier, the series adopted an animated intro sequence. Unlike Batman, the series star ended up looking like an animated gorilla.

Arrow has found its time slot on Wednesday nights at 8:00 on the CW. Its been awhile since I used that channel. The show also has a brand new page on Facebook. There is footage now online, but I will embedded it here when that's possible. Lets just say Ollie hates tennis balls.

Since the swiveling house was such a hit a few months earlier, the second teaming of Batman and Robin with the Scooby gang introduced a swiveling bridge with a grumpy troll living under it. Who would have guessed that said troll was none other than the freaking Penguin?

Disney must be feeling pretty good about their $4 billion investment in purchasing Marvel a couple years back as Marvel’s The Avengers has already passed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office thanks in part for its record breaking $103 million second weekend take in the US. With a few hundred million more likely, the gauntlet has been thrown down and Batman may have a tough time rising to the challenge. Either way, The Avengers performance has to be a good thing for the future of Superhero movies. The genre is as alive and well as it ever has been. Hopefully this will open the doors for the likes of the Flash, Wonder Woman, and the Justice League as well as for other Avengers like Miss Marvel, Ant-Man, and Black Panther. Its a good time to be a geek.

Although the original Batman live-action series ran in 1966, its influence has been long lasting with pop-culture references to this day. While it was perhaps not seen by anyone since the movie was a flop, the animated opening sequence of the 1994 Blankman movie paid homage to the 60's classic.

Appearing as early as 1949 in Marvel's Venus #6, mischief maker Loki made his first official appearance in 1962's Journey into Mystery #85 and has since been a consistent foil to Thor and the Avengers.

Being the series last episode and having an opera theme, I was really hoping to see a singing fat lady, but alas.

With $80.5 Million banked on Friday alone, The Avengers looks likely to reach $175 to $180 Million this weekend which would be the biggest ever – bigger than HP7-2′s $169 Million and bigger than The Dark Knight’s $158 million. Not only would this put Marvel’s The Avengers on track to become Marvel Studio’s biggest movie yet, but it will already have nearly surpassed the domestic totals for Thor, Incredible Hulk, and Captain America. Impressive. Will the Dark Knight Rise to the challenge and retake the record?
