Written originally March 20,2007, here revised slightly (Nov.14,2009) . I should credit not only Shelley but also the (unknown) author of the introduction to the 1950s Superman TV series, which went somethinglike this: The Adventures of Superman! Faster than a speeding bullet, More powerful than a locomotive, Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's 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 can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel with his bare hands; and 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.
