Dell's Atlantis, the Lost Continent (1961) comic book

From Wiki- Atlantis, the Lost Continent is a 1961 American science fiction film in Metrocolor produced and directed by George Pal and starring Sal Ponti (under the screen name of Anthony Hall), Joyce Taylor, and John Dall. The film was distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[2] It was the last film for John Dall.[3]

The film's storyline concerns the events leading up to the total destruction of the mythical continent of Atlantis during the time of Ancient Greece. Back to me:

Villain of the Week- The Trickster

From Wiki-  The original Trickster (real name Giovanni Giuseppe) is the practical joker and con man whose favorite occupation is damaging enemies like the Flash with items such as explosive teddy bears.  His alter ego is "James Jesse". He was a circus acrobat who decided to become a criminal just like his "reverse namesake" Jesse James.[3] He created shoes that allowed him to walk on air to first help him in the trapeze shows his family was in, as every member of his family was a trapeze expert and his father wanted him to be one also, and other dangerous gag gadgets for his crimes. He clashed with the Flash (Barry Allen) many times. In his first appearance, his Harlequin costume causes the Flash to guess he is in a circus, and he captures the Trickster after pogo-sticking to the trapeze.

After Barry Allen's death, the Trickster relocated from Central City to Hollywood, where he spent some time working in special effects. He attempted to steal Dan Cassidy's innovative Blue Devil suit, but was defeated. When Cassidy later became trapped in the suit, Jesse befriended him and relied on Cassidy to help with his sporadic efforts to give up supervillainy.  Back to me:

Green Lantern: First Flight (2009)

 

This was released two years before the ever so frustrating 2011 movie, and is much better, though falls into the same problem the movie did-

833 The Sensational Sister Street Fighter of 1974!

The first of "four" movies starring Etsuko Shihomi, it is quite good and action-packed.
