Opening Narration

"Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound! ("Look! Up in the sky!" "It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "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 in 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!"

For over one hundred episodes, George Reeves portrayed the fabled Man of Steel on television. Phyllis Coates played Lois Lane before being replaced by Noel Neill. Other characters from the comics included Jimmy Olsen played by Jack Larson, and Perry White portrayed by John Hamilton. Robert Shayne played Inspector Henderson, a recurring character associated with the Metropolis Police.
