Consume All Media! Atom Man vs. Superman: "Chapter Ten: Atom Man's Heat Ray"
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 ninth chapter of Atom Man vs. Superman. This time, they continue with the tenth chapter.
Atom Man vs. Superman: “Chapter Ten: Atom Man's Heat Ray” - 16:19 (Available on Amazon)
Superman stops the train, presumably giving everyone inside whiplash.
Luthor's henchmen are teleported out.
Later, Luthor tells Lois he'll work on a plan to stop these villains from interrupting her reports. What he really does is hire two criminals to do a similar crime, so he can get them arrested and get the heat off of himself.
Lois returns to the Daily Planet and we learn that she's been spying on Luthor for them. One of Luthor's henchmen overhears this and tries to blackmail them for money to not tell Luthor. Clark tries to fight him, but gets locked in Perry's office. He changes into Superman and flies in through a different window. The henchman tries to shoot Superman, but he redirects the bullet into a light fixture that comes crashing down on top of the henchman.
After Superman leaves, Lois goes to check on Clark... who is climbing in through Perry's window? He claims to have passed out and has no idea how he got there.
I don't know how this man keeps his identity a secret.
Later, the two hired criminals rob a payroll trailer, but get trapped inside by a super-heated doorknob. Clark opens the door and the police arrest the henchmen.
However, Lois saw one of Luthor's men sneaking around. Lois, Clark, and Jimmy chase the henchman into a building. He locks them inside and teleports out. Smoke billows in and all three pass out.
Should you watch it, though? Not a lot happens here, but the plotting is decent.
Tune in next time for Atom Man vs. Superman: "Chapter Eleven: Luthor's Strategy" (Available on Amazon.)
