Super Friends - Season 9 (1985)

While trying to stop the Scarecrow, Batman feels FEAR for the first time in years, as he will have to face the memory of that night that made him decide to (eventually) become THE BATMAN.

There's a new super villain in town, and his name is The Ace. Gathering together a gang of four hardened delinquents, the Ace decks them out in sinister playing-card costumes, and thus the Royal Flush Gang is born.

In the prison, Felix Faust performs a ritual to steal Superman's powers for himself, but Penguin, his cellmate, double-crosses Faust and take the Kryptonians powers before, becoming Super-Penguin.

The evil Darkseid's latest project involves the capture and takeover of Star City, a gigantic orbiting earth colony. To this end, he replaces the satellite's kidnapped inventor Mr. Moko with a robot lookalike that even fools Moko's daughter, Kiri. Meanwhile, Batman, Firestorm and Samurai must steer clear of Darkseid's minions Kalibak and DeSaad and their robot army, long enough to allow Superman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman to seek out and destroy the control equipment hidden in Darkseid's headquarters.

The unthinkable has happened: Superman is dead, the victim of Kryptonite poisoning. Injured in the mishap which felled Superman, a weakened Firestorm is captured by Darkseid, who wants the Galactic Guardian to reveal the details of the Man of Steel's demise. Meanwhile, several members of the Super Powers Team gather at the Fortress of Solitude, where they come across evidence indicating that Superman is still alive-but if this is true, why has he allowed the other Team members to fall into Darkseid's clutches?
