Have you seen this? 'Atomic Puppet' is a hoot of a superhero show

Batman and Robin are so old-school.

I mean, they're good old-school, but old-school compared to Atomic Puppet.

Atomic Puppet is the story of a superhero who has been reduced to, well, a hand puppet. He can only come to life when someone puts him on. It just so happens that he bonds, er is fused with, his biggest fan. A 12-year-old biggest fan by the very appropriate name of Joey Felt (both characters are voiced by Eric Bauza).
