Saturday Morning Apocalypse is the second studio album by the metal/power metal band Powerglove, released on September 28, 2010, by E1 Music. It strays from Powerglove's usual brand of video game metal, and instead centers around TV, cartoon and movie themes that the band grew up with. This is the band's first release on E1 Music. A music video for "Batman" was released on July 28, 2011.
