Bizarro World - in Other Media

In Other Media

• Bizarro World is depicted in several episodes of Super Friends: "The Revenge of Bizarro" from 1980, "Bizarowurld" from 1981, and "The Bizarro Super Powers Team" in 1985.
• In the Superman: The Animated Series episode "Bizarro's World", Bizarro finds the Fortress of Solitude where he interacts with Brainiac and discovers his "origin". Soon he creates his own Krypton on a section of Metropolis and uses a theater as the House of El. Later, Superman gives Bizarro his own world to protect, a moon with vegetation and a green sky showing a Saturn-like planet, and several other moons. Bizarro is astute enough to realize he may be set up when he complains "This crummy planet! How can me be protector when no one here to protect?" However, Superman states he thought of that issue and allows Bizzaro to adopt one of the endangered species from the Fortress, whom Bizarro aptly names "Krypto". The episode is based on the comic book Superman (vol. 2) #87. In a followup episode, "Little Big Head Man", Bizarro had populated his world with mannequins he made of boulders and twigs, and pretended to "protect" the populace. In his own "Fortress of Solitude", there are twig mannequins of his "mama" and "dada" holding a large cube-shaped boulder, a crude mirror image of Superman's statue in the Fortess of Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van holding up a globe of Krypton. Mr. Mxyzptlk appears and tricks him into returning to Earth and attacking Superman. Bizarro is eventually returned to his world with his new sidekick -- Mxyzptlk, who had been temporarily stripped of his powers.
