		Superman is effectively born on Earth and is as much a son of Earth as of Krypton.
		Superman possesses extraordinary powers, traditionally described as, "faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound", a phrase first used in the Superman radio serials and Max Fleischer animated shorts of the 1940s as well as the TV series of the 1950s.
		Superman is also vulnerable to magic; however, this is not used in his stories as commonly as Kryptonite, and the vulnerability has been at best hazily defined.

		Superman, strange visitor from the Roosevelt administration, will soon be among us again in the form of a very large and, I'll warrant, very loud movie called "Superman Returns," due in theaters in May. The marketing tsunami is even now approaching the mainland.
		Superman's familiar creation myth — the spaceship crash near the Kent farm in Kansas, the adopted parents — the Achilles' heel of Kryptonite, the Daily Planet, the X-ray vision, all that was ginned up for radio.
		The operating trope of Superman is Revenge of the Nerds — mild-mannered Clark Kent splits his shirt and strikes back for the powerless and disaffected.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Superman
		Superman was the creation of a pair of teenage science fiction fans living in Cleveland, Ohio.
		Superman was again animated in 1966-67, when Filmation produced The New Adventures of Superman, a series of Saturday morning half-hours, for CBS.
		Today, new Superman comic books come out every week — and the character himself is one of a half-dozen or so that are known to the majority of this planet's inhabitants.

	The religion of Superman (Clark Kent / Kal-El)
		Superman went to an African country in the midst of a brutal civil war and he destroyed all the firearms in an area where there was violent conflict.
		Superman and his nebbish alter ego Clark Kent are now recognized, in retrospect, as a complex symbol of immigrant identity and assimilation -- the embodiment of the American Dream, as imagined by two second generation Jewish kids.
		Superman is not the only superhero thought to be religious - Wonderwoman fancied ancient Egyptian religions, Batman is said to be a lapsed Anglican or Catholic (because of the crosses on his parents' tombstones), as is the Hulk.

	SUPERMAN...Then and Now! CHRISTOPHER REEVE and DEAN CAIN (and MORE!)
		Lester, who, he readily admitted, was not a "Superman" fan, utilized much of Donner's footage (although he'd later claim he had to 'reshoot' everything), and added his own quirky humor and penchance for sight gags to the production.
		While a double-date between Lois and Superman, and Lacy Warfield (Mariel Hemingway) and Clark, was actually quite amusing (and is a film highlight), the climactic lunar battle between the Man of Steel and Luthor-created Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow) was certainly one of the least exciting action scenes of the entire series.

	Superman (1940s cartoons) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many of Superman's actions, however, could not be rotoscoped (flying, lifting very large objects, and so on).
		In these cases, the Fleischer lead animators, many of whom were not trained in figure drawing, animated roughly and depended upon their assistants, many of whom were inexperienced with animation but were trained in figure drawing, to keep Superman "on model" during his action sequences.
		The nine Fleischer Studios cartoons will be released as part of the four-disc Superman: The Movie set, and the eight Famous Studios cartoons will be released as part of the two-disc Superman II set.

		If you are looking for the past stories of Superman but also with great animation, look for the Fleischer cartoons from the 1940s.
		This cartoon captures the spirit of what Supe had become by the time the 60's rolled around, with the Filmation animation beating anything by Hanna-Barbera up to that point...or even 10 years after.
		The cartoons were part of the studio's debut into TV animation, The New Adventures Of Superman, first broadcast in September 1966 on CBS.

		Though many superhero cartoon watchers of my generation probably saw something along the lines of a “Superman/Batman/Aquaman Show,” these were culled from Filmation’s 1960s series “The New Adventures of Superman”, “The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure” and “The Batman/Superman Hour.”

	DVD Verdict Review - Superman: A Little Piece Of Home
		Judge Brett Cullum thinks that fans of the Superman cartoon should hold out for the forthcoming full-season sets, instead of springing for this mini-collection.
		Other than that, Superman: A Little Piece of Home is ironically named—it's a little collection of some good episodes that should wet your appetite for a more comprehensive set coming in the following months.
