    Craziest & Most Humorous Episode Of The Season

    This is the wildest episode I have seen so far and the beginning is especially a real hoot: a bunch of crazy-shaped Star Wars-type aliens fighting a biker-bounty hunter. The latter's dialog is tremendous. The guy is crude, rude and very funny. He winds up, however, getting hired by the "ultimate bounty hunter - "The Preserver," some round-shaped alien with amazing powers. His job: bring back "that Kryptonian (Superman) to add to my collection of one-of-a-kind creatures of the universe."

    So, "Lobo" or, as he calls himself: "The Main Man," heads out on his motorcycle-space ship (complete with skulls - the guy looks like an Oakland Raiders fan) to Earth to grab Superman. This is the most entertaining villain so far in this animated TV adventure series. Brad Garrett does a nice job voicing "Lobo."

    Battles ensue and Superman winds up chasing him into space where the "The Preserver" traps both parties, intending to keep both in his elaborate "zoo."

    Superman is trapped and his powers are taken away by a special light inside his cage. How will get out of this? Will Lobo escape?

    To be continued.....

    As a diehard fan of Lobo, I was underwhelmed.

    I have read a lot of Lobo comics and watched the TV-MA web cartoon and when I saw a family friendly Lobo, I was bewildered. Why not just have a similar character without Lobo's name? Lobo is supposed to be adult oriented, not watered down. I'd rather watch the web cartoon instead of these two Superman episodes.

    • Trivia
      The starfish-like creature in the Preserver's collection is Starro the Conqueror, a galactic villain who was the very first foe of the Justice League of America in their introduction story in DC's "The Brave and the Bold" #28 (Feb-Mar, 1960).

      How precisely is the sound of Lobo's voice carrying in the vacuum of space, where sound can't travel?
    • Quotes

      Lois Lane: I'm confused, Kent. See, I've lived in Metropolis most of my life and I can't figure out how some yokel from Smallville is suddenly getting every hot story in town.

      Clark Kent: Well, Lois, the truth is I'm actually Superman in disguise, and I only pretend to be a journalist in order to hear about disasters as they happen and then squeeze you out of the byline.

      Lois Lane: You're a sick man, Kent.

      Clark Kent: You asked.
