Superman and Kolchak: The Night Stalker

 

Superman has never been crazy about dealing with the supernatural, so I can see him calling in an ally like Kolchak in those types of situations.  I wonder what Kolchak would make of working with a Kryptonian, though.

Kolchak the Night Stalker Vs. Mephisto

 

Kolchak has faced off against all kinds of paranormal creatures, but he may have finally met his match this time around.  Let's hope his years of investigation have prepared him to deal with such an epic encounter.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker and The Phantom Stranger

 

The Phantom Stranger is a character that I would love to see join the DCU.  He may not get his own movie or series, but he could be like a spooky Nick Fury in that he could show up in other character's projects at key moments to offer guidance or assistance.  I bet it would be a fun role for an actor to portray.

Swamp Thing and Kolchak: The Night Stalker

It's interesting - first it was announced that the Stargirl series from DC's streaming service will also be aired on the CW network.  Now we hear that the first Season of Harley Quinn is going to air on the SYFY channel.  I'm hoping that the abruptly cancelled Swamp Thing show finds a second home as well, I heard good thing about it and would like to check it out some time.

The Spectre and Kolchak: The Night Stalker

I really hope that once The Spectre assumes his ghostly form at some point in the final two episodes of the Crisis on Infinite Earths CW event, he looks close to his comic book counterpart. Stephen Lobo doesn't really resemble Jim Corrigan (another hero de-gingered!) but we have only seen him as a human thus far.  They had another actor playing Corrigan in the short-lived Constantine series, and they gave him a nice Spectre-like effect when foreshadowing  future developments that alas, never came to pass - that looked pretty cool even if it was brief.

Mars Attacks Kolchak: The Night Stalker

Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! movie seems to hold up pretty well to me when viewed today.  The large cast looked like they had a blast making it, and the effects still work due to the B-Movie vibe.  I am a little surprised we never saw any signs of a sequel.  I don't remember it being a box office dud, bat maybe it just didn't make enough profit to warrant a follow up.

Batman and Kolchak: The Night Stalker

I recently checked out some old episodes of Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and I was amazed at how ahead of its time the series was.  Kolchak was out hunting and researching werewolves, vampires, aliens, and all sorts of paranormal phenomena decades before it became thew hip thing to do.  Shows like The X-Files and Supernatural certainly owe a debt to this trailblazer.  Darren McGavin made an appearance on The X-Files as the man who actually initiated the X-Files Program, so it was nice to see them acknowledge their forerunner in that way.
