On the next Earth Station One podcast, we join up with other podcasters to talk about our favorite crossovers in film, TV, comics, and literature. What are some of your favorite company and/or character crossovers?
My favorite clear-cut crossover is The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest (TV 1996) which took the heroes from each of their own popular animated series and forced them to work together. We got to see Batman and Superman figure out each other's identities, Luthor and Joker double cross each other, and Harley and Mercy kick the stuffing out of each other. Awesome.
Who Framed Rodger Rabbit featured characters like Mickey and Bugs Bunny sharing the screen, if that doesn't count as a crossover I don't know what will. The movie featured one of my all time favorite villains, Christopher Loyd's Judge Doom.
And Stephen King's The Dark Tower series deserve an honorable mention. They are his best narratives and reference characters from his own books as well as everything from lightsabers to Quitch snitches.
