New Adventures of Superman, The: The Complete First Season

Thrills come faster than a speeding bullet in this seminal Superman series originally produced by Filmation and one of the first Saturday morning cartoon series, showcasing the adventures of a super hero. In each supercharged, action-packed episode, Superman vanquishes not-of-this-world dangers like mermen living beneath the Earth’s core, energy-controlling aliens and time-traveling magicians. Classic Metropolis villains such as the Toyman, Brainiac and the Man of Steel’s archnemesis Lex Luthor also appear to mix things up with the last Son of Krypton, but he doles out truth, justice and the Superman way with iron-jawed determination. Don’t miss all the retro fun as Superman (and alter ego Clark Kent), Lois Lane, Perry White, Jimmy Olsen and more make their animated debut in the series that started it all.
