The Evolution of the Big Screen Batsuits


This is an interesting mashup of documentaries of the various Batman movies from Tim Burton's 1989 all the way to at least The Dark Knight. Interesting how the philosophy goes from "it's gotta be black without the underwear" to "we asked the defense department."

Oh yes, and there are Batnipples. Of course there are Batnipples.

Sunday Morning Surprise - The Story of Superman


This documentary, released around the 50th Anniversary of Superman (some sources state 1990) and released on cheap VHS, covers many of the usual topics brought up in such documentaries, but focuses mainly on the Golden Age.  Most interestingly, it covers the contributions of the radio show (creation of kryptonite, etc), the Fleischer cartoons (but neglects to mention they brought the concept of Superman flying to the mythos), the serials, and most interestingly, a lot of the early merchandise.  All in all, it's a great watch!
