Superman’s Arrival In 1948
It’s a bird! It’s a plane? Nope! It’s incredible black-and-white film footage of Superman’s arrival from 1948!
This clip from the Columbia serial “Superman,” which preceded the more familiar “Adventures of Superman” TV show, opens with the destruction of Planet Krypton and the escape of the infant who would become Superman.
The landing of the baby’s space capsule on Earth takes place on the Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, Calif. — with the capsule landing behind a well-known rock called the Molar.
