Not that I\u2019m complaining, mind you, but you can sense that the shorts here were once a part of something bigger and more diverse. That said, \u201cThe New Adventures of Superman\u201d works considerably well if you\u2019re okay with crude animation.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Filmation essentially takes the Hanna Barbera route by re-using much of the same animation over and over, and eliciting little motion and fluidity. Though awkward at times, \u201cThe New Adventures of Superman\u201d is really just old fashioned Superman fighting crime and getting in to unusual situations. He\u2019s mostly battling evil scientists and mobsters as he did in the Fleischer shorts, and uses his powers and clever quick thinking to solve most of his problems. Bud Collyer and Julie Bennett perform the roles of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, giving way to many scenarios where they\u2019re thrust in to perilous situations that Clark has to get them out of.<\/p>\n<p>Among some of the more entertaining episodes, Superman begins breathing fire when he ingests an experimental rocket fuel, and Lex Luthor kidnaps Jimmy luring Superman to a fireworks show that\u2019s laced with Kryptonite. The shorts are simple and to the point, giving the focus on Superman first and foremost as he battles the Prankster, Toyman, and Lex Luthor, all the while showing why he\u2019s the man of steel. Though mainly for the hardcore Superman fans like myself, \u201cThe New Adventures of Superman\u201d is a great release from the Warner Archive that helps set the template for \u201cThe Superfriends.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe New Adventures of Superman\u201d are mainly just shorts trimmed from the series \u201cThe Superman\/Aquaman Hour of Adventure\u201d from the sixties, and given their own spotlight.
