		Superman was able to leap 1/8th of a mile--hurtle a twenty story building, raise tremendous weights, run faster than an express train, and that nothing less than a bursting shell could penetrate his skin.
		The Superman background was still in flux, the newspaper in the audition discs was called the Daily Flash, and the editor was Paris White, which would be changed to Perry, and soon adopted by the newspaper strip and comics.

		The Fleischer Superman movie-cartoons were nominated for Academy Awards, and featured voices from the cast of the radio series, while the screenplays of Columbia's 1948 and 1950 Superman movie serials were adapted from the radio program rather than from the stories within the comic books.
		Superman Inc., the licensing arm of DC Comics, wanted the true identity of radio's Man of Steel kept a secret, to maintain the illusion that the "real" Superman was starring in the broadcasts, and Bud Collyer was only too happy to comply, afraid that publicity would hurt his career as a serious actor.
		Though the Superman television series continues in syndication to this day, budget restraints and primitive special effects prevented the series from reaching the imaginative levels of epic adventure that were commonplace on the radio series.

	Movie Poop Shoot - COMICS 101
		Here’s why we should discuss, and enjoy, Superman in spite of the indignities visited upon his fathers: despite their shabby treatment, it’s my understanding that Siegel and Shuster remained proud of their creation, and its impact upon the world, and certainly were proud of all their work on the character.
		Where Superman was only super-tough and super-strong in the ‘30s, by the mid ‘40s artillery shells were bouncing off his chest with ease; by the ‘50s, Superman could even withstand the blast of an atom bomb.
		Similarly, where at first Superman was merely leaping prodigiously from place to place, by the 40s, Superman was flying around in full defiance of gravity (the move from leaps to flight was another by-product of the radio show, which used a loud wind-tunnel sound effect to express his flight).
