Pretty interesting. Some parts of this origin I didn't really hear before. I've read the golden age one and bronze age one and newer ones. But nothing that talked about the orphanage all that much. Wonder if those people ever figured out who Supes was.
@frlac40 that or it's a coincidence. these books & records came out throughout the 70s i believe, and Donner's film came out in like 78, 79, leaving not much time for this to be based on it.
@EmSeeSquared Not a coincidence...Peter Pan always tried to put out a record that was popular at the time. The "Superman" LP, featuring the origin story, and the book/record offshoots were released shortly after the Donner film came out.
@vinylrecord68 i wasn't dismissing that. i was just pointing out that it COULD have been a coincidence, not that it was. The similarities ARE indeed there.

The voice actors always did a great job on the old Power Records.
