It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!
Created by Robert Maxwell, Whitney Ellsworth
On Syndication
A cheerful, episodic superhero adventure from the 1950s that balances action with workplace comedy and domestic charm, built on the reassurance of weekly heroic victory.
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a syndicated TV adaptation of the beloved DC Comics superhero! You know the drill: When he isn't fighting for truth, justice and the American way, the man in tights dons a suit and glasses for his secret identity as Daily Planet newspaper reporter Clark Kent, who works alongside friends Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen for gruff boss Perry White.
