Before Superman soared through the skies or Batman brooded in the shadows, there was The Phantom—a masked, purple-suited crusader whose legend spanned continents and centuries. Today on Tony's Superhero Saturdays, we celebrate The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks, the jungle warrior who fought injustice with grit, myth, and a legacy carved across generations.

With its noir style, emotionally complex storytelling, unforgettable voice acting, and cinematic music, Batman: The Animated Series (BTAS) became the gold standard for superhero television—and a key part of what would evolve into the DC Animated Universe (DCAU). This was one of the animated series that my late dad Tyrone Sr. and I would stop, sit down together, watch and enjoy and talk about afterwards.

From my childhood to today, I’ve had real-life heroes who fueled my imagination, helped me develop my morals, and inspired my creativity.

For decades, Barbara Gordon, better known as Batgirl, has stood out as one of DC Comics’ most iconic and inspiring heroines.
