The Hulk and Catwoman

 

If there was one villain from the classic live action Batman series that could have had their own spin-off show, It would have to be Catwoman.  Team her up with a loner on the run who has rage issues, and you might just have a recipe for a fun romp.

The Hulk and The Six Million Dollar Man

 

Now if this was a movie of the week when I was growing up, there would have been nothing to stop me from watching it.  There were very few live action super-heroes to be found, so even though he wasn't from the comics, I counted Steve Austin as one of them.  Pair him up with and actual Marvel hero, throw in some guest stars and that would have been a true recipe for action in my young eyes.

Darth Vader Vs. The Hulk

 

Obi-Wan Kenobi fell into the same pattern that a lot of Disney+ shows seem to - strong first episode, three episodes of filler, an improvement in the fifth episode and then a great finale.  Hopefully future series will work on these common pacing issues.  Still, there was a lot to enjoy.  For me, that was anytime Darth Vader was onscreen.  He had some excellent standout moments, his voice was spot on, and the final Vader/Kenobi confrontation was everything I was hoping for.

The Hulk and Snake Plissken

Marvel Studios hasn't shied away from bringing back characters even after we have seen them perish on screen, either by the use of flashbacks or other means.  Maybe there's hope that we will see Kurt Russel's Ego again.  I'd love to see The Living Planet face off against Galactus should they ever give the World Devourer a detailed back story.

The Hulk and The Flash (The Movie!)

Well, it seems as though the Hulk/Flash TV Event from STF #2034 was such a hit that the pair has graduated to the big screen!  It's still fun to pop in my DVD's of the 90's Flash series.  What a shame it was bounced around the TV schedule so much that it never got a fair chance to catch on with audiences.

These two also shared a  more traditional comic book adventure in STF #1296...

Batman and The Defenders (The Movie!)

This cover comes about as the result of a conversation in the comments section.  I liked the idea of a live-action Defenders team, but I still wanted to honor the cross-company aspect f this blog.  With that in mind, I added in Batman - because Batman goes with everybody!  Justice League may have missed the mark, but I'm thinking this could be a true blockbuster!

Batman and The Defenders met in a more traditional comic way back in my B&B: The Lost Issues days...

Mr. T and The Hulk!

If you had given the 12-year old me control of a major movie studio, this is the kind of project that I would have been spearheading.  I'd have been ahead of my time though - movie audiences simply weren't conditioned yet for so much raw awesomeness in a single film.  I look at the success of Thor: Ragnarok, with all of its fantastical elements, and think maybe the public is ready now.

The Hulk and The Flash (The TV Event!)

I still think that The Flash 90's TV series had one of the best live action costumes ever.  It's easily the best Flash costume.  Even with a slightly redesigned cowl and incorrectly-colored boots, I prefer it to either the current movie or TV versions.

Superman and The Hulk (The Movie!)

I was glad to see The Incredible Hulk join the Saturday Night MeTV family recently.  Nothing like curling up to back to back episodes of The Adventures of Superman, Batman, The Incredible Hulk, Wonder Woman, Star Trek and a Svengoolie-hosted classic horror movie.  That's what I call a power-packed line-up!

Superman had a more traditional comic adventure with The Hulk(s) in an earlier STF Issue...

Wonder Woman and The Hulk (The Movie!)

Thanks to MeTV, I have finally seen every episode of Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk.  Not only is it fun to watch these shows and revisit the TV superheroes of my childhood, it's cool to see which classic 70's star will show up next.  From Shields & Yarnell to Sherman Hemsley to Rick Springfield, it's always an interesting blast from the past.

Batman and The Hulk (The Movie!)

With new comic book related TV shows and movies being announced on a regular basis these days, it's easy to take for granted the times we live in.  Back in the day, there weren't a lot of choices for the live action superhero fan.  Batman and The Incredible Hulk each had their strengths and weaknesses.  The Incredible Hulk took the subject matter seriously, but didn't feature much from the comics beyond the main character.  Batman happily presented many characters and visuals from the comics, but presented the whole thing with tongue firmly planted in cheek.  I'd have liked a show that met in the middle somewhere.

Batman and The Hulk have crossed paths a few times in The Lost Issues:

They first met in my first attempt at a 100-Page Giant...

I later presented them in a Golden-Age team-up...

They met during The Hulk's gray phase...

And the last time they butted heads was in my 900th Issue.
