Consume All Media! Atom Man vs. Superman: "Chapter Six: Atom Man's Challenge"

Joe Heath is a big fan of comic books and watching things in order. So they made this spreadsheet containing every serial, short, film, television episode, commercial, motion comic, and web series based on a comic book. Now they're watching them all. Previously, Joe watched the fifth chapter of Atom Man vs. Superman. This time, they continue with the sixth chapter.

Jimmy tries to turn off the car, but passes out. However, Superman sees it with his X-ray vision and busts in to save the day. He leaves behind a hilarious Looney Tunes-style hole in the door.

The henchmen bring the nailtonium to Luthor and tell him they took care of Jimmy and Lois. Another henchman calls Luthor and says he just saw Jimmy and Lois going into the Daily Planet. Luthor sends one of his henchmen's atoms into the Empty Doom as punishment. But then recalls him when he figures he's had enough. So it apparently doesn't kill you to be sent into the Empty Doom.

Luthor now plans on stealing radium so he can produce synthetic kryptonite. He even makes a radio announcement about it. There's only two places in Metropolis that have radium (a hospital and a chemical plant), so Clark and Lois split up to go to both.

A couple of henchmen show up at the hospital and say they are transferring the radium somewhere safe. The hospital employee gets the radium out of the safe, THEN asks to see their credentials. So they knock him out and leave with the radium. Clark shows up too late, so he heads over to the chemical plant.

At the chemical plant, Lois has talked her way into being the person to deliver the radium somewhere safe, because no one will expect her. So she puts the radium in her purse and heads out. Some henchmen with a Geiger counter grab her and lock her inside a vault. Jimmy arrives and is knocked out and kidnapped.

Superman gets Lois out of the vault by using his super hearing to figure out the combination. He then leaves to find the henchmen.

Meanwhile, the henchmen have moved the radium and Jimmy to a different car. Superman catches up to the original car and he grabs it.

He also flips it over. He finds out about the car switch, so he traps the henchmen inside by ripping out the engine and shoving it into the car window. Then he leaves to find the other car and Jimmy.

The other car has been left at a bombing range with an unconscious Jimmy inside. A bomb is dropped right on top of it and it explodes.

Should you watch it, though? The barn door hole is funny. Luthor sending his henchman into the Empty Doom, then bringing him back is very interesting. Everything else is kind of by-the-numbers and boring, though.

Tune in next time for Atom Man vs. Superman: "Chapter Seven: At the Mercy of Atom Man!" (Available on Amazon.)
