Tarzan and the Super 7

Tarzan and the Super 7

"Tarzan and the Super 7", was a Saturday morning cartoon series, produced by Filmation and originally airing from 1978–1980 on CBS.

The show consisted of separate installments featuring seven groups of adventurers;
* "Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle"
* "The New Adventures of Batman"
* " The Freedom Force" — Isis, Super-Samurai, Sinbad, Merlin, and Hercules
* "Jason of Star Command" — the only live-action segment
* "Manta and Moray"
* "Superstretch and Microwoman"
* "Web Woman"

The show was an updating of the "Batman/Tarzan Adventure Hour" which aired on CBS Saturday mornings during the 1977–1978 television season. That series featured separate half hour episodes for each hero, with each show having its own opening and closing credits. The two series had previously run separately as "Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle" (1976) and "The New Adventures of Batman" (1977).

"Batman and the Super 7"

During the 1980–1981 television season, NBC ran repeat episodes under the title "Batman and the Super 7". This hour long series featured all of the original ‘Super 7’ segments except "Jason of Star Command" and "Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle" (The Tarzan show continued airing repeats on CBS as part of "The Tarzan/Lone Ranger Adventure Hour" (1980–1981) (later renamed "The Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro Adventure Hour" (1981–1982)).

DVD release

Fans of this series have been lobbying for its release on DVD. To date the only segment released in North America is the five episodes produced of "The Freedom Force" as well as the live-action series, "Jason of Star Command". Warner Home Video has announced the Batman series for release in June 2007.

According to animation historian, Andy Mangels,

Due to lawsuits from Marvel Comics and DC Comics, Superstretch and MicroWoman, Manta & Moray and Web Woman have been withdrawn from distribution, and probably do not exist in the ER library at all. I don't think Hallmark ever transferred them. Very sad.Fact|date=August 2007
