As usual statistics don't always show all the facts!

'Spider-Man' has had 3 movies to move into the top spot, while 'the Incredibles' has had only one mega movie!

How 'Zorro' got into the list is a question mark in itself, as who figures Zorro to be a superhero?!

Just Finished Reviewing the DVD 'Sky High'... 

... that Lynda Carter had a role in... You probably remember her better as  Wonder Woman  !!

The 'SKY HIGH' movie from 2005 is just another one of those movies trying to cash in on the 'superheroes' craze currently in fashion, but this one had two of my favorite actors, Kurt Russell and Lynda Carter!  Which definitely helped make the film viewable for me!

As a little background for those that don't know much about Lynda Carter:   She first entered a local beauty contest and achieved her first national fame by winning the Miss World USA in 1972 representing  her state of Arizona.   After taking acting classes in New York acting schools, she started making appearances on TV shows such as Starsky and Hutch, and Cos, plus B-movies including Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw.

However, her acting career did not really take off until she landed her starring role in the Wonder Woman television series. Her performance endeared her to fans and the series lasted for three seasons.

For those interested in Wonder Woman AND other DC comic books, we have several for sale in our eBay Featured Store.
