Superman Serials: The Complete 1948 & 1950 Collection Kirk Alyn sets the heroic standard for generations to come, portraying Superman in these fun multichapter adventures. The 15-chapter Superman (1948) spans our hero's first arrival on Earth to his alter-ego role as reporter Clark Kent of the Daily Planet (where Noel Neill portrays Lois Lane) through his battle with sinister Spider Lady and her relativity reducer ray. Next, while the real world faced the dawn of the nuclear age, our caped hero faced that menace and more in the 15-part Atom Man vs. Superman (1950). Is Lex Luthor behind the UFO and A-bomb that imperil Metropolis? Naah. He says he's just a simple repairman for those new devices called televisions!
