We finish our first block of Toonami Super Friends (which is not actually Super Friends) with A Perfidious Pieman is Simon & Frozen Peril and Seeds of Disaster & Devil Of A Time.
The highlight here is A Perfidious Pie Man is Simon, which introduces a brand-new Batman villain in the form of Simon The Pieman, a nursery rhyme-obsessed creep who somehow has enough cash to open up a theme park in the centre of Gotham. Its clear that The Adventures Of Batman writers thought they had something with this character, as they go our of their way to make him seem like Batman’s greatest foe (seriously, Batman struggles with him more than he does Joker in this series).
We also get the weird sight of Superboy tricking some gangsters by pretending to the devil and Aquaman and Superman fighting a fish-alien who wants to flood the desert for reasons that are never made clear.
