Legends of the Superheroes

1979 · 1 season

Cheap, cheerful and knowingly silly, it plays like a live-action cartoon with a laugh track, best enjoyed as a goofy curiosity.

Overview: In a two-part all-action, all adventure and part-time comedy special, many of the greatest superheroes of the DC Comics pantheon team up to take down some of their long-running enemies, then stop for a celebrity roast held in honor of Batman.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, light and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Friendship, justice, crime, media
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
