Title: "Villain! Villain! Who's Got the Villain?" Post by: Great Rao on September 23, 2003, 12:59:58 PM The WORLD'S FINEST TEAM of
THE MIGHTY SUPERMAN and THE DREAD BATMAN join forces against the FIENDISH LEX LUTHOR in... "VILLAIN! VILLAIN! WHO'S GOT the VILLAIN?" (http://superman.nu/tales3/villain/) (http://superman.nu/tales3/villain/0.gif) (http://superman.nu/tales3/villain/) :s: Title: Re: "Villain! Villain! Who's Got the Villain?" Post by: jezor on September 23, 2003, 02:27:34 PM With all due respect to Great Rao for his work on this site, why on Earth (or Krypton) was this story selected for inclusion here? The action is odd, the conclusion is cute but out of place, and the art? As much as I enjoyed Alex Toth's work as the animator of TV's Super Friends, it is difficult to view on the printed (or scanned) page. {Jonathan, hoping for more Supergirl and 70's era stories}

Except maybe for the Super-Sons... :s: Title: Re: "Villain! Villain! Who's Got the Villain?" Post by: The Starchild on September 24, 2003, 11:51:47 AM I really like the way Superman and Batman's relationship is presented here. And I love seeing Maggin's Luthor being oh-so clever and smart and yet in the end being outwitted by his own ego, not being able to believe that anyone else could possibly be as smart as he is.

Now I do agree with more 1970's era stories .... hint, hint great one Title: Re: "Villain! Villain! Who's Got the Villain?"

Im always one for diversity and Alex Toth is a master of deceptive simplicity in his compositions and characterizations. :arrow: :s: Title: Re: "Villain! Villain! Who's Got the Villain?" Post by: Rugal 3:16 on September 26, 2003, 08:17:32 AM except for the part of Batman getting a balloon from a tree.. this is a good rendition of a "Dark Knight" batman.. one who's only grim and gritty towards cowardly and suprstitious criminals.. but a warm person for his friends (and he plays a joke at clark too at the end)
though how did he change so fast (faster than clark)... :D :D he has to remove the merchant mask, the layers of upper clothing, the pants... and he did it all while a child was Falling.. :D :D one answer.. 1. TAKE IT FOR GRANTED :D :D :D :D BTW I have this story.. and with this and "The Day the cheering stopped" already here at STTA That ONLY leaves "Alan Moore's For the Man who has everything". |
