sittnick1 is correct. Warners did not own Superman at this time. What's more, this was almost 2 decades before John Williams wrote the movie theme.
I've never seen the Musketeers movie that TedNewsom is talking about, but I remember once making note that the theme played over the opening credits of the film "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" sounded a lot like Superman.
I'm something of a Maverick buff, too. I believe this ep is "The Sheriff of Duck and Shoot." Funny I didn't notice before.
i was watching this one episode where bart was in some kind of trouble and cheyenne bodie just rides by him real fast like his little theme music came on 2 i thought that shit was pretty funny
Actually, this isn't a lift from a Superman movie-- or a pstychic anticipation of what John Williams would compose 20 years later. That's a lift from the score of a 3 Musketeers movie with Cornell Wilde, made about 1953, in color. It wasn't uncommon for composers to lift phrases and themes from something else they may've written prior to an assignment. I'll betcha the composer of the Musketeers score was working on the Warners lot at the time of Maverick.
It is the Superman theme. Its an inside joke thing Warner Bros. did seeing as they owned the rights to Superman. Its from the original TV/movie Supermans with George Reeves.

Warner did not own the right to Superman until the 1970's when Warner bought National Periodical Publications (DC Comics).
