    @jj_was_here@outside_85

    Funny that you both should say that DC stands for Detective Comics, which makes DC Comics actually Detective Comics Comics

    Unfortunately, you're both wrong. In actual fact, and I think far more interestingly, DC Comics is named afterthe series Detective Comics, but it's not anacronym for it. In actual fact, the "DC" in DC Comics isn't short for anything, it is just two letters that don't mean anything. So while Detective Comics is where the letters DC came from, it's not an acronym and so the full company name is just "DC Comics" and not "Detective Comics Comics"

    I prefer Detective Comics Comics

    @irishx: Yeah, the serials back then were kinda terrible. I do think of all of the ones I saw that the Batman wasn't so bad. Maybe I was just too interested in seeing where the Batcave and skinny Alfred started to really care. The Captain Marvel was by the far the best. The Captain America was pretty terrible.

    Okay so another fact.

    Mr. Freeze gained his name Mr. Freeze from the Adam West Batman show. When the name came into the comics in Detective Comics #373 in 1968, Robin remarks that the name sounds like some cheesy villain from campy TV show.

    Okay so this hasn't been updated in awhile.

    Doctor Fate Kent Nelson's girlfriend and future wife and future Doctor Fate, Inza, had three last names through the Golden Age of Comics. Cramer, Saunders, and Carmer. It was established as Cramer in the Silver Age of Comics.

    Kryptonite only exists because Superman's VA on his 1940s radio show wanted a day off, but the show had to go on. To make up for it, they hired a guy with a lower voice and created Kryptonite as an alloy that weakened Superman and gave him radiation poising.

    @superguy1591: Nice one!

    The only other DC heroes to appear in The Adventures of Superman radio show were Batman and Robin.

    During the 1970's, Jimmy Olsen went on gritty, street adventures in the pages of Superman Family though somehow his stories from the Silver Age is what gets remembered. They are pretty damn fun though!
