Superman has had four live-action TV shows, which has got to be a record -- The Adventures of Superman, The Adventures Of Superboy, Lois and Clark, and Smallville.  He also had at least half a dozen animated serieses, many of them combining Superman with Batman or other DC characters.  The first live-action series produced a TV movie, Superman and the Mole Men, in 1951 -- one year before Superman's last theatrical serial.  He's also had a number of overseas ripoff films made, including three different Bollywood films in two languages.

Batman had the notorious Adam West TV series, in which two half-hour episodes aired each week, the first always ending with a cliffhanger where Batman and Robin would be tied to a giant waffle iron while the countdown ticked away on the fiendish plot to douse the whole city with Beatnik Gas.  The 1966 film came out of this series.  More recently, an animated series drawn in a very stylized pseudo-Japanese manner has produced a feature-length animation called Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, which is rumored to be pretty good, and a sequel to that called Mr. Freeze: Subzero.  These turned out to be the start of a whole sequence of direct-to-DVD animated movies featuring the whole gang of DC characters, often retelling tales from major "event" arcs in the source comic books, such as the Death of Superman, in highly condensed form.

Speaking of chunky pseudo-japanese stylized art, the two Hellboy Animated films were apparently made for TV.  The art is actually pretty damn awful.  Which is a shame, because otherwise they're not bad, especially the first one, Hellboy Animated:Sword of Storms.

Spider-Man had a short-lived live action TV series which produced one TV movie, Spider-Man Strikes Back a.k.a. Spiderman: The Deadly Dust.  He was done in animation many times.  Mostly we ignore animated outings here, due to how numerous and unremarkable they are, but I just can't skip over the animated Spiderman TV show of the early '70s.  After the first couple of seasons the show was taken over by Ralph Bakshi, who turned everything all drug-trippy, with stories by Lin Carter which seemed to involve visiting a Victorian-style Lost World every single week... and at the same time they stopped spending money and started using recycled footage for about half of each episode.  The series may have stunk by any ordinary standards, but it was unforgettable.  Admit it, the theme song alone ("does whatever a spider can!") is impossible to dislodge from your memory.  Also noteworthy was the late-'70s Japanese series sometimes called Supaidâman or Supaidaaman in English, which presented the Marvel character quite faithfully, except for making him a space alien who pilots a giant robot.

The Hulk had four or five TV movies before and after the series starring Bill Bixby, ending with The Death of the Incredible Hulk in 1990.  Plus the usual animated outings.

Captain America had two 1979 TV movies in which his costume includes a blue motorcycle helmet.  During the VHS era these films were much more readily available for rental than most other TV movies, giving them a faux air of featurehood.  One of the several animated versions ran in the early '60s, and it is the earliest thing I have any memory of ever watching on television, at a neighbor's house, when I was too young to follow half of it.  For me that left the Captain America character with a sort of spooky dreamlike undertone ever since.

Dr. Strange had a TV movie in 1978.  Said to be "amazingly bad".

The Spirit got a pilot TV movie in 1987, starring Sam J. "Flash Gordon" Jones.  It apparently treated the character in a much more straightforward and respectful way than the Frank Miller movie.  Which probably means it was not nearly as much fun.

Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. had a TV movie.  With David Hasselhoff!

The Flash had a TV series and a TV movie associated therewith, featuring possibly the most grotesque fake- muscles- moulded- into- the- suit costume ever.

The Justice League of America got a 1997 TV movie made as a pilot for a series, and the movie was never aired.  It's been compared to an episode of Friends with superpowers.

One interesting TV series was called Birds of Prey.  It used several obscure female characters from the DC pantheon, such as Black Canary.  The protagonist was a daughter of Batman and Catwoman who, in the comics, existed only in a parallel universe.  It didn't last long.  I regret not having watched more than a couple of episodes.  But then, those who have watched them tell me that such regret is quite misplaced.

Wonder Woman had a '70s TV series, starring a beauty queen who was embarrassingly unathletic looking.  Its pilot movie, which was set in WWII, was oxymoronically called The New Original Wonder Woman.  The series switched from the '40s to the '70s when the show moved from ABC to CBS.  I've never seen any of the '40s material; it's rumored to be less dumbed down than the later stuff.

Blade has not had any previous film or TV appearances, but a German film called Night Hunter apparently bears a very strong resemblance to the Blade story that came after.  But then, there's an artist who claims he invented Blade back in the '70s, and is suing.

Spawn had an animated cable TV series, and two animated films have come out of it.  The video boxes are prominently labeled "NOT for children!"  The live-action movie was aimed at a younger audience than this animated version was.  I haven't seen the first animated release, but I have a copy of the second, and I was not impressed.  It was obviously spliced together from episodes of the TV series, and there were many areas of mediocrity in the effort.  Dull pacing, voice acting sent in by fax, confusingly extraneous pieces of plot, many gratuitous incidents where the good guy deliberately delays saving people in order to build up more suspense... bleh.  But it was cool that Spawn was more randomly murderous as he tries to figure out whose side he's on.

The Crow had a TV series called The Crow: Stairway To Heaven, and a TV movie which was more or less a remake of the theatrical film.

Dick Tracy had two TV serieses, and one TV movie in 1967.

The Phantom recently reappeared in an animated TV series called Phantom 2040, about the great-grandson of the Phantom in the 1996 film, which was set in the '30s.  Margot Kidder is one of the voice actors in Phantom 2040, by the way.  She also did a voice for Captain Planet.  In this version "The Ghost Who Walks" has apparently become an eco-warrior, like the aforementioned Captain.  There is supposed to be a feature-length version, probably direct-to-video.

Flash Gordon has appeared in animation at various times, and one TV movie derived therefrom.  There was a live-action TV series in the '50s; I've seen two or three episodes, which were very very cheap.

Buck Rogers had a TV series in the '50s and another in the '70s, with one TV movie -- a pilot, I believe -- emerging from the latter.  By Hollywood standards, Buck is way overdue for a true feature film, which he has never had.

Marvel's group of super preteens, Power Pack, got a pilot made but didn't get picked up as a series.

Modesty Blaise got a TV pilot, non-comedic this time, but the series wasn't picked up.

A character named Painkiller Jane, who has Wolverine-like super healing power, had a series on the Sci-Fi Channel.  It lasted only one season, but... Kristiana Loken.  I watched a couple of episodes; aside from her, it's pretty dull.  There was a TV movie two years earlier, entirely unrelated to the series (the "Jane" character doesn't even have the same last name), starring Emmanuelle Vaugier.

The Black Scorpion cable TV series had a pilot movie called "The Sting of the Black Scorpion".

The X-Men have had both animated and live-action TV serieses -- one of which provoked a lawsuit between Marvel and the studio -- but no previous feature-length films.

Sheena, Queen of the Jungle had a TV series in the '50s, and another in the '00s.  In the latter she can actually turn into animals.

The Swamp Thing briefly had a series following the two theatrical movies.

Witchblade had a series on TNT that lasted for two seasons.  Apparently it was fairly successful; there's speculation that it ended not due to lack of ratings but due to the star's drinking problem.

Timecop became a short-lived TV series.

The Sabrina The Teenage Witch sitcom is based on an Archie Comics character.  It ran for seven seasons, despite using a horrible cat puppet.

I was originally going to discuss some live-action TV serieses in greater depth down here, like the well-remembered Bill Bixby version of The Incredible Hulk, or the laughable Linda Carter version of Wonder Woman, but forget it.  I will note only that Smallville, though very well done in many ways, just doesn't work for me.  They try to combine achingly normal small town atmosphere with more weirdness than The X Files, and try to combine practically unlimited power with standard teen angst, which is rooted in powerlessness.  They even give young Clark Kent a totally unbelievable fear of heights, just to try to bring some fake dramatic tension to the situation.  This is much like having him underuse his powers in order to create phony suspense about who will win a fight -- something the show is also guilty of, as are some of the Super[man/girl] movies.  Between the well-dramatized difficulties and conflicts of teen life in a small town, and the need to keep creating new "put two scorpions in a jar and make them fight" action plots, the show pulls apart in the middle.

Sure beats the crap out of something like Jake 2.0, though.
