            Storyline

            Did you know

            • Trivia
              This series is the first other media adaptation of Superman that takes partially into account the major revisions to the character by comics artist/writer, John Byrne in his 1986 post-crisis relaunch. The most notable elements used are that Clark is no longer Superboy in his youth and Lex Luthor is a villainous business owner armed with a kryptonite ring to ward off Superman.
            • Quotes
              • [main title]
              • Narrator: Faster than a speeding bullet... more powerful than a locomotive... able to leap tall buildings in a single bound... Superman... yes it's Superman... strange visitor from another planet, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men... Superman... who disguised as Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice and the American way!
