First one, then the other.
No. the flying, like the “Look! Up in the Sky!” intro and Jimmy Olsen originated with the Bud Collier radio show.
There’s a good book out by Jake Rossen, Superman Vs. Hollywood, that covers all the media adaptations, starting with the radio show, up through the 2006 movie…
Is that why the T-1000 freeze scene looked familiar in Terminator 2?
The movie which explores Reeves death is interesting on that. His original costume was very bland , grey and something, just to get contrast on a black and white.
The personal appearances are funny as well. Reeves having a couple of belts back stage before he went on. I wonder if anybody noticed Superman had whiskey breath.
IN the movie they portray a wire breaking during a flight scene which changed production. He’d jump out the window onto a mattress of whatever, and then they’d cut to a flight scene.
As a kid I thought I was pretty smart for noticing that the sound effect for Superman’s flight was the same one they used for Sargent Preston and Yukon King when storm winds were blowing.
I never quite got what a “single bound” is. And whatever it is, does that mean as opposed to a double or triple bound?
She was a thousand times hotter! 
Fahrenheit or Celsius?
No mezzanine stops for HIM!
If Perry white was the editor of a great metropolitan newspaper, why didn’t his skyscraper office have windows with a view, instead of that corrugated sheet metal or whatever that was?
A single jump. “Bound” is a less-often used word for a jump.
Yeah, I mean, I can jump all the way to the top of a building, too. It just takes me a really long time, jumping one step at a time on the staircase, and maybe stopping for a breather every few floors. Superman doesn’t need to do that, since he can do it all in a single bound.
Kelvin! 
First one, then t’ other.
Fun fact Australia’s first TV series, The Adventures of Long John Silver was filmed in colour 20 yrs before colour TV was introduced in Australia and 2 yrs before television :eek: was introduced in Australia. It was always intended to be sold to British & American markets.
If I suddenly threw a tennis ball at your head, it would bounce off harmlessly, and do you no damage. You know this if you think about it. Chances are, you’d flinch anyway.
Sure, a heavy metal object would do no harm when thrown at Superman. He’s still going to flinch. Its a reflex action.
And it’s amazing how many times the heavy metal object had a chunk of kryptonite inside it.
He does have to have human responses well ingrained to maintain the Clark Kent character.
If his powers and abilities did not manifest until puberty (which seems to be the general consensus nowadays) then he would have had between eleven and thirteen years to learn that things being thrown at your head will hurt. This type of lizard-brain programming is not something you can overcome easily.
Go ahead, call Superman a lizard brain to his face. See where that gets you.
