Excellent two-part series. Anyone watched this yet?
Cool part on Batman

I saw about an hour of it yesterday. Not a bad show. They could've left the NOW comics out of it though. That's where they lost me.

Yeah older history was great. Newer stuff was somewhat gnarly. I guess current comics make sense in perspective. But I loved the 30s-60s

Just watched the first part. Nice show. Siegel and Shuster got shafted.

Yeah I was shocked to hear how bad they were doing once the 1977 superman movie came out.

I heard Finger was destitute when Batman was making millions.
