@davidls11 And one day very soon, when the Earth is finally destroyed by greenhouse gases, Gore-Al will send his only son, Kal-Al, away in a crude escape rocket, hoping that he will reach a planet where his latent abilities are realized, and he may teach the people there of the evils of the maniacal Bush-iac!

I had never seen this. Fantastic. How screwed with Earth have been if the entire population of Krypton had made it to Earth?

[TheStanbabe]

These opening scenes are based upon the radio version of"Superman's"origin.

LOL It's difficult enough to open one of those old car trunks, or a hood, and Ebenezar Kent pops the spaceship hatch open in a jiffy.

( This was before the comics settled on the name Jonathan for Clark's eart dad. )

This is a much better serial than those batman serials.
