What makes you think you can take on Superman, when you can’t even handle a mere mortal in a fright mask?!

In this episode of All Star Superfan Podcast, Alan and Rob are joined by veteran rewatch podcaster Lance Laster for a retrospective review of “World’s Finest,” the legendary Batman and Superman crossover from Superman: The Animated Series. Batman and Superman must put their differences aside to face a combined threat from The Joker, Lex Luthor, and an army of killer robots! Originally aired as a three-part episode and later released as The Batman/Superman Movie, this is peak DC animation very near and dear to our 1990s hearts.

Along the way, we ask the important questions:

• Would Batman really fall in love with Lois Lane?

• Just how bad is the Joker’s aim?

• Is Lex Luthor a great negotiator or not?

• And… what on Earth happened to Bruce Wayne’s "public persona" voice?

All of this and much more, as we celebrate everything that makes World’s Finest such a standout chapter in Batman and Superman history.

PLUS: We branch out into some of our other favourite World’s Finest-style Batman/Superman stories, including Public Enemies, The Dark Knight Returns, Superman/Batman Generations, and the recent Tom King Batman run. Inevitably, comparisons are drawn to visionary director Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice... batten down the hatches, folks!

This month on All Star Superfan Podcast, hosts Alan and Rob are joined by Stephen Mooney, celebrated Irish creator of the Half Past Danger series of comic books and the writer and artist behind the most recent run of The Rocketeer, for an in-depth journey into the world of The Rocketeer.

Together, they explore the history of the character's creation, from Dave Stevens' original 1980 comic creation to its cultural impact, and the meticulous artistry that made it iconic.

The discussion then lifts off into the 1991 Disney film adaptation, analysing its production, storytelling, and how it captured the spirit of Stevens' work.

Stephen Mooney also shares insights into his career and creative inspirations and what it takes to make it in the comic book industry today.
