If there's one thing that fans have taken away from Adult Swim's "Robot Chicken" it's that there's never a shortage of comic book-related humor. It's no wonder that the Emmy award-winning stop-motion series has set its sights on the entirety of the DC Comics universe for their latest venture, the "Robot Chicken DC Comics Special," premiering September 9 on Adult Swim at midnight.
"We show you exactly why Aquaman is part of the Super Friends," Seth Green, co-creator of "Robot Chicken," told MTV News about the premise behind the special. "After all his putting up with this abuse, his moment has come to shine ... and slip on a puddle."
Kevin Shinick, the creative director behind "Robot Chicken," also spoke with MTV and told us how this DC parody of massive proportions first came to fruition. "You know we had done the 'Star Wars' special and...

10:00-11:00 The Witty Women of Steampunk— The Victorian era was one marked by constraints on behavior, morals and bosoms. When you add a bit of sci-fi to the mix, however, those corset laces begin to loosen. The steampunk genre has allowed a new wave of female creators and personalities to explore how liberating, sexy, and adventurous the age of steam can be. Robin Blackburn...

At least one generation of super-hero fans grew up knowing the DC Comics heroes through their appearances on ABC’s Super Friends. Loosely based on the Justice League of America, Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman teamed up in the Hall of Justice and fought all manner of menace. Accompanying them for no rational explanation were Wendy Harris and Marvin White, along with Wonderdog.
The first iteration debuted in fall 1973 and was an hour-long adventure with 16 episodes comprising thefirst season. The series survived in various incarnations well into the 1980s when it finally faded away, ringing down one era of animated heroics. The biggest problem confronting these early missions was the network demand that there be no violence. Threats yes; actually hitting the bad guy, no.
Additionally, the stories were designed to deliver messages such as ecological awareness so the youngsters watching at home could learn something.

Superman may have caught the world’s imagination and helped make comic books an industry, but I wasn’t All That fond of him. I began reading comics about 25 years after his 1938 introduction (my first comic was actually a Green Lantern-Flash team-up), but I soon became a Marvel guy (or should I say a Disney/Marvel guy?), and if I had to have a favorite DC hero, it would have to be Batman. So, it’s kind of ironic that I became friends with Superman’s legendary comics editor Julie Schwartz in the 1980s, and no less than three ex-starlog Managing Editors (my protégés Eddie Berganza, Mike McAvennie, Maureen McTigue) ended up at DC Comics editing the Superman titles in the ’90s. So I sorta feel like a step-uncle, twice removed, to the Man of Steel. I had no effect on him, but my posse did.
