The Crooks Outline Their Plan 

looks like an 80's new wave band

Twin crooks!

Low production budgets and ease of editing.

Men in lead.😊

"Oh, I'm sorry, just let me get you down from there then. I had no idea murder was illegal!"

And when was the last time a criminal choose not to do something criminal, because it's "illegal"?

I find it interesting that Clark really didn't know how to react about being killed, being he is Superman and nothing can hurt him (other than Kryptonite)

I get your point and you work correct. Only thing is he technically Superman didn't get the Jimmy Olsen on time, Who bailed out of the car before win over the cliff.

Mine too.

Thanks, what a nice thong to say.

Based on the perils of Pauline silent movie

So with that superman still

You bet. Happy to do it.

Kirk Allen was the first

Better than Christopher Reeve? An overweight 45 year old? Lmfao.

Agreed. The 2 B@W seasons had more drama

But wait, there's more! Should Superman save you, Perry, Lois, and Jimmy, we have General Zod in Kryptonite chains with a pool of liquid Kryptonite about to pour over him in 45 minutes. Clark: He's Superman's enemy. Bad Guy: Damn it, Bob! I told you!

Lead isn't as toxic as they make it out to be unless you vaporize it or reduce it to very fine powder.

For me, that was George's best stunt of all.

@@ECO473 I'll buy that. I think his most dangerous stunt was jumping down almost a full flight of stairs at the climax of Mystery in Wax.

@@bikefixer That shows what a great physical specimen George truly was.

Why is the acid boiling?

@@BrianBattles Dry ice.

Yes, amazing how much Michael Fox sounded like Cary Grant.

No no no, I'm going to leave them alone and not actually witness them dying, I'm just going to assume it all went to plan. What?.

I'm pretty sure that's George (and if not, they surely did a mighty fine job of finding a suitable "hang in" for him).

Yes, it truly was thrilling!

Neal, I started watching George Reeves as Superman in 1953. He brought something to the screen that, for me, has never been equaled. It's good to know you share that love for the man and the character.

Actually, you didn't miss much then. Although the final four seasons (1954-1958) were filmed in color, no color prints were developed and broadcast until 1965. Even George Reeves himself saw only a few feet of test footage.

OK, but cold just now, Steve. Brrr.

Right. I like to see those guys from Superman show up on Perry Mason. Another bad guy, John Harmon, often shows up as a good guy on PM.

He had a great speaking voice as an actor

Yes. Funny how he sounds a bit like Cary Grant.

That's somewhat addressed in the tag to the episode where we see the crooks in jail. #1: There's one thing I don't understand, boss. We saw Kent go into that tub of acid. #2: Shut up you fool. Don't ever say anything about that again. Don't even think it. #1: Nobody would believe it, huh? #2: No, I don't even believe it myself.

@@jimnolt-TAC I understand that. But what was still left open was did they truly realize that Kent WAS Superman? Or was it something else just as unexplainable? Because if they had guessed right about Kent's dual identity, I would think they would scream from the rooftops about it, forcing Kent to come up with a plausible explanation on the spot (which he likely would have done).

​@@ECO473Use your imagination.

@@joebloggs8636 George always played Kent as a guy who could think fast on his feet. So, a good explanation would be that Kent and Superman pre-arranged that Superman would take Kent's place and let himself get kidnapped, with the crooks thinking he's Kent. Then once they spilled the beans about how they were going to do away with Jimmy, Lois, & Perry, Superman would start the race against the clock to save his friends. And that was his plan all along.

@@jimnolt-TAC Now that you mention it, there are parts of the conversation that suggest albeit after the fact that Superman was much closer to the situation than the ringleader first realized. First, when he mentions that Superman has no idea of what's going on, Clark answers, "are you sure?" Then when the ringleader mentions that Clark wasn't begging for mercy, Clark's only response was "sorry to disappoint you." Those responses could have only come from the one man who could have snapped off the handcuffs while being under and then pull himself out of the soup. So, when the flunky mentions that "we saw Kent go into that tub of acid, but we didn't..." and the ringleader cuts him off with "shut up you fool...", the realization that either Clark was extremely lucky...or that Clark WAS the Super Dude traumatized the ringleader either way.

@Bing Cherry Killing the pilot and anyone else aboard who may have been innocent? That would not have been Superman’s style.

😂

Los hombres usan esos cascos para que Superman no pueda verles la cara. (Las máscaras están hechas de plomo.) #103 "Perils of Superman.")

@@jimnolt-TAC Ah, muchas gracias, porque vi en otro video a Clark apoyado en una pared en la vereda y a esos hombres con máscara caminando por la vereda, así que después busco ese capítulo muchas gracias. 👌

Though reported often, Steve, it never happened. Art Weissman made up that story and pulled it out at those times George just didn't want to appear in costume. That said, there are many times when he was OK with it, but it always bothered him when kids asked him to fly, etc. And he was fearful that kids might witness something tragic as he stood by unable to prevent it. Wearing that costume was a big responsibility in those days. One that George Reeves took seriously.

@@jimnolt-TAC However fictional, that “incident” was used in the film, “Hollywoodland,” starring Ben Affleck. But as you correctly stated, George Reeves took his responsibility to children seriously. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for him at times.

That show came 10 years later after Superman.

I capture my clips from the DVDs.

@@jimnolt-TAC did you shrink the aspect ratio on your tv? I had the first season dvd and it looked really stretched

@@KaijuComics Then I would say you don't have your TV or the DVD Player set up correctly. The picture should not look 'stretched' out on any screen.

@@KaijuComics Sadly, the series was shot in 1:33:1 and there are no more 4:3 TVs made anymore. So viewing it on a 16:9 screen you can only fill the screen by stretching the image or zoom on it and lose some content.

@@greg1030 my 16:9 tv has a feature where you can shrink the image and make it 4:3
