Superman protects Metropolis and the world from a variety of threats while working at the Daily Planet as Clark Kent.

In the eyes of most Superman fans, this series consisted of four seasons. Season 1 (1966-1967) was a 30 minute show featuring two Superman segments sandwiched around one Superboy story. Season two made up the first half of The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure (1967) and season 3 filled the last half of The Adventures of Batman (1968). Both seasons 2 and 3 featured the same format of two Superman and one Superboy segments, and consisted of both new material and reruns from previous seasons. Season 4 (1969-1970) saw the series return once more to a stand-alone, 30-minute show; and consisted of only previously aired episodes.—Neal Graham <[email protected]>

An animated series about the hero made famous in comic books and later in a live-action TV show. Superman, visitor from the planet Krypton and alter-ego of mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, has made it his mission to stop crime on his adopted home of Earth. His crime-fighting frequently pitted him against the master villain Lex Luthor, but somehow the caped crusader always managed to thwart Luthor's plans.—Jean-Marc Rocher <[email protected]>
