The New Adventures of Superman was a series of six-minute animated Superman adventures produced by Filmation between 1966 and 1970. The 68 segments appeared as part of three different programs during that time (by itself, then as part of The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure (which also featured this show's version of Superman as part of the Justice League of America) and finally The Batman/Superman Hour, which paired it with The Adventures of Batman).The first TV series produced by Filmation Associates, The New Adventures of Superman was extremely popular in its Saturday morning time slot and, despite having obviously been developed for young children, employed the services of several DC comic book writers including George Kashdan. Many of the character designs (later based upon the artwork of Superman artist Curt Swan in the show's third season) stayed true to their comic book counterparts; iconic shirt-rip shots and related transformations from Clark Kent into Superman were incorporated into almost every episode, and such lines as "Up, up, and away!" and "This is a job for Superman!" were also borrowed from comics and the original Superman radio show. Due to a limited production budget, stock animation was often re-used for certain shots of Superman flying (or switching identities from Clark Kent into the Man of Steel), while character movement was often kept at a minimum.Producer Lou Scheimer also recruited Bud Collyer and Joan Alexander, veterans from the Superman radio show and the Superman Theatrical Cartoons, for the voices of Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane respectively. Jackson Beck, who had been the narrator and the voice of Perry White on the radio show, reprised those same roles for the cartoon version, while Jack Grimes, who had played Jimmy Olsen in its later years, took that part here as well. For this series, Collyer returned to the same vocal technique he'd perfected on the radio show to play the Man of Steel. While in the identity of Clark Kent, Collyer would keep his voice lighter while projecting a sense of weakness. But when the mild-mannered reporter would change into his true identity of Superman, Collyer's voice would deepen dramatically into a heroic baritone. Alexander departed after the first season and was replaced by Julie Bennett in later seasons.Not directly related to the live action television series Lois & Clark, billed as The New Adventures of Superman outside the USA. | |

Treants: In "The Tree Man of Arbora", a tree-like being brought to life near a meteor crater grows arms and legs and begins wandering about, consuming enormous quantities of water. It displayed enormous physical strength, easily ripping the hood off of a car to get at the water in its motor and breaking a dam apart with its bare fingers. It at one point disguises itself in a forest by standing still and becoming indistinguishable from normal trees, until a boy carving letters into its trunk angers it back into motion. At the end of the episode, Superman takes the creature to the planet of Abora, which is entirely populated by tree men. | |

Sure enough, that's where the rockets are. | |

In "Can a Luthor Change His Spots?", Luthor splashes Superman with Kryptonite-laced ink and puts him and Jimmy (who he's tied up) on the Planet's newspaper preparation belt, intending for the machinery to dice and/or crush them. It fails because Jimmy manages to cut his bonds, allowing him to escape and save Superman. | |

Falsely Reformed Villain: Lex Luthor in "Can a Luthor Change his Spots?" To the disbelief of Jimmy Olsen, Lex Luthor has convinced Perry White that he has gone straight, and has thus become the Daily Planet's science editor with a huge experimental lab in the Planet building. Jimmy's disbelief leads him to try and catch Luthor in a deception, but his efforts lead to disasters. But ultimately Jimmy is proved right, and this is a scam of Luthor's to transform the Planet building into a gigantic rocket. | |

Made of Evil: In "The Wisp of Wickedness", the body of an alien warlord is destroyed by an explosion. All that is left is a wisp consisting of his concentrated evilness. The wisp travels to Earth where it inhabits a hat and compels anyone who dons it to commit evil acts. Superman eventually traps the wisp and flings it into the sun. | |

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Perry White actually makes Luthor the Daily Planet's science editor in "Can a Luthor Change his Spots?", providing him with a steady salary and his own lab. Luthor even manages to get the bank to let him test a device intended to open vault doors, which could have been immensely useful as a safety mechanism. He throws it all away to kill Superman and launch the Daily Planet building into space. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In "The Team of Terror", the Warlock has Superman at his mercy and is killing him with a kryptonite beam. His ally Satana sends a giant snake made out of plasto to crush the Man of Steel. The plastic blocks the kryptonite beam and allows Superman to recover and escape. In "Luminians on the Loose", Luthor leaves Jimmy Olsen on the tracks where the express is scheduled to come shortly, a bomb under his shoulder (which will detonate if he takes the pressure off the button). His plan is that when Superman (of course) tries to rescue his young friend, the bomb will explode, destroying the bridge. Unfortunately, Superman's keen hearing picks up Luthor gloating about it, and he finds another option. | |

Monster Is a Mommy: The Superboy segments used this twice: "The Deep Sea Dragon". A diver exploring a shipwreck finds a pearl in a chest. After he removes it and takes it to his ship on the surface, the ship is attacked by a seagoing dragon. It turns out that the dragon was genetically engineered, and she left her egg in the wreck for safe keeping. "Visitor From The Earth's Core". While Superboy and Krypto the Superdog are on an expedition to the Earth's core, Krypto finds a glowing black rock and Superboy takes it back to the surface to be analyzed. Later a giant crystalline snake comes out of the hole that Superboy dug and starts rampaging around. Krypto figures out that the rock is the creature's egg and alerts Superboy. They hatch the egg with their heat vision and return the baby creature to its mother. | |

Trauma Button Ending: Clark would often mischievously bring up something related to the plot for a final joke. During "The Robots of Riga", Lois and Jimmy are almost kidnapped to be put into a People Zoo. After Superman rescues them, Clark asks Lois if she has anything to do that afternoon, suggesting he and she might take a trip to the zoo. Lois responds by throwing something at Clark. During "The Warlock's Revenge", the Warlock brings a monster movie poster to life to menace Lois. After everything is wrapped up, Clark says she needs some down time and suggests they see the same movie. The events of "Luthor's Loco Looking Glass" start when Luthor has a matter transfer machine disguised as a mirror sent to the Daily Planet and Jimmy falls into it. At the end, Clark offers him a hand mirror to see a smudge on his face more clearly, which Jimmy emphatically refuses. At the end of "The Fire Phantom", Jimmy and Clark catch up with each other and compare notes on the evening, with Jimmy telling Clark how chilling it was. Clark suggests that he build a fire. Jimmy immediately says that he's had enough of fire for the evening. In one episode, a Mad Scientist who is angry at Lois for sending him to jail kidnaps her and forces her into a film strip. When Clark says Lois is attractive enough to be a film star, she throws something at him, causing him to quip that sometimes she's more hazardous than a mad scientist. Clark finds himself on the wrong end of this trope in "Superman's Double Trouble." After he's spent the entire episode dealing with a giant lobster and a humongous alligator, Perry offers to buy him dinner at a seafood restaurant. Clark declines, saying he's had enough lobster for the day. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: In "The Warlock's Revenge", the Warlock wants to borrow his sister's magical ruby to use its powers to exact revenge on Superman but she refuses because she's sure that the Warlock will fail again and Superman will destroy the ruby. The Warlock just takes the ruby by force and it leads to Superman eventually proving her right. | |

Fed to the Beast: In "The Mermen of Emor", the mermen attempt to do this to Jimmy Olsen and two other captured scuba divers as part of their annual games: first with lion sharks, and then a killer whale. In "Luthor's Loco Looking Glass", Luthor sends a matter transfer machine disguised as a mirror to the Daily Planet, hoping to trap Clark Kent. He accidentally nabs Jimmy instead. His plot du jour consists of putting the hostage on a retracting floor over a Shark Pool, seemingly for no reason other than to upset Superman by killing one of his friends. | |
