Read more about Bibleman at: Wikipedia Official Site: Trinity Broadcasting Network Bibleman is an American video series with an evangelical superhero character (originally played by Willie Aames). The series includes videos, books and live shows, where they tour locations around North America. The live show has been described as falling between "a high budget Sunday school pageant, a Batman movie, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." The production borrows heavily from popular culture, including films, popular music and video games. The videos and live show have been well received by children, the target audience. The series has been described as dogmatically evangelical. In 1998, sales made up less than one percent of the Christian children's video market. Three years later, sales climbed to eleven percent of that market. It held third place behind first place Veggietales and second place Penguins 3-2-1 The Dove Foundation gave the series its "Family-Approved" Seal for "this energetic battle against evil." However, several adults have criticized the show's fight scenes as promoting violence, despite the fact one show (Conquering The Wrath Of Rage), and its live counterpart, addressed the violence issue. Another criticism towards the show is that it reflects a low budget.
