This week on Superman: The Animated Podcast, I talk about S02E13 – Monkey Fun. Curt Geda returns as the director, writers for the episode are Paul Dini, Bob Goodman, Alan Burnett, Hilary Bader and Stan Berkowitz. In this episode – A monkey is found floating in space, returning from years of suspended animation in his ship. It turns out the monkey, named Titano, was a beloved companion of Lois during her childhood. In space, Titano encountered a radioactive asteroid, causing him to mutate on Earth and become big trouble for Superman and Metropolis.
The episode stars Tim Daly as Superman/Clark Kent, Dana Delany as Lois Lane, David Kauffman as Jimmy Olsen, Victor Brandt as Professor Hamilton, Joanna Cassidy as Maggie Sawyer, Joseph Bologna as Dan Turpin, Brad Garrett as Bibbo, Dean Jones as Col. Sam Lane, Mae Whitman as Young Lois and Aria Noelle Curzon as Lucy Lane.
Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed this episode, probably cause I enjoyed hearing Dean Jones’ voice, brings back a lot of memories. I liked how they showed a young Lois, introduced Lucy and Sam Lane into the story. I just don’t think that if I were to pick any episode of Superman: The Animated Sereis to re-watch right now, this is not one of my top 10.
