My Least to Favorite TV Superheroes based on Previous Material

as Diana Prince the Wonder Woman in a TV movie in 1974 and she didn't even have the right costume.

as Steve Rogers AKA Captain America in two forgettable TV movies about the hero from 1979. It's a good thing they are forgettable.

as the Incredible Hulk. He's turned into a halfway decent actor, but back then he just flexed his muscles.

as the more famous Diana Prince the Wonder Woman. I never liked her depiction or the show, but at least she wore the right costume.

as Dick Grayson the Boy Wonder, Robin. Back in the day I liked the TV show, after all I was a child. But even back then I didn't like Burt Ward's characterization of Robin and I ended up being an anti-Robin Batman fan for years due to it before I got over it.

as David Bruce Banner in the Incredible Hulk. I always like Bill Bixby, and his character was good, but the show was so bad I couldn't stand it. Plus, where did the name David come from?

as Spider-Man in the PBS educational show The Electric Company. He didn't say anything and it was just sketches, so I guess his performance was okay.

as Batman. I liked his Batman back in the day. I like him know. But I came to despise that show and its version of Batman and still do.

as Arthur Curry AKA Aquaman in Smallville. I never really liked his interpretation of A.C. on the show, even though I love the show.

as Britt Reid AKA the Green Hornet. Okay, now we've definitely into the liked category. He was cool, debonair and thrilling.

as Clark Kent, college student, AKA Superboy in season one of The Adventures of Superboy. I guess the producers weren't too impressed with his performance, but I thought he made a good Superboy.

as John Jones the Martian Manhunter on Smallville. There's way too little of this character on the show.

as Kato in the Green Hornet. Kato was the real hero in this show and Lee went on to be a big star.

as Clark Kent AKA Superman on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. I loved Dean's modern age version Superman.

as Superman AKA Clark Kent on The Adventures of Superman. I simply adored this show and his version of Superman when I was just a little pre-schooler. In fact his presentation of Superman was my introduction and came before I found out about the comics.

as Arthur Curry AKA Aquaman in the never picked up pilot for Aquaman. Now THIS is how Aquaman should be.

as Bart Allen AKA Impulse on Smallville. I liked his sass.

as Carter Hall the Golden Age Hawkman in Smallville. Shanks completely transcended his Daniel Jackson persona for me with this excellent characterization of a little known but cool superhero.

as Oliver Queen the Green Arrow in Smallville. (Wow, he is in the list twice.) He has really captured the power of G.A. and made a way for him to be an important part of the show. They should really think about giving him his own series after Smallville is done.

as Clark Kent, college student, AKA Superboy in season two and following of The Adventures of Superboy. I always loved Superboy more than Superman and he did a great job of bringing the younger hero to the screen. It was a good choice to bring him in.

as Barry Allen the Flash. I loved this show and his Flash suit looked good! This was in my mind the first prime time superhero show that didn't emphasize the camp and made possible Lois & Clark and Smallville.

as the Tick. Warburton brought his usual dry wit and sardonic manner to this great version of this strange superhero.

as Clark Kent AKA Boyscout AKA the Blur and who we all know will someday be Superman in Smallville. Yes, I'm a fan and he's my favorite superhero on TV. I don't want to see his performance end, but it will mean seeing him finally in the suit, flying and as Superman.
