Crime fighter Serials: Bonus material
Several posts back we went on a tour of Crime Fighter and Superhero serials and, as you’d expect with all good serials…. here’s the pay-off. Among the serials I featured are a number that I’d consider to be must watch, though to be honest it’s the Superhero serials which don’t make the cut. While the Batman serial’s overt racism is so cringe-worthy and is something you need to see to believe, it falls into a different category so I’ve decided not to feature it.
And while the Superman serials in many ways were quite good, the animated flying Superman really brings the serials down several pegs and leaves you feeling disappointed.
It’s the Crime Fighter serials which really stand out in this group and I’ve included the three I admire the most for your viewing pleasure. So position yourself on the edge of your seat for this experience.
