Warner Bros. Discovery has remastered the classic Superman theatrical shorts produced by the Fleischer Studios (and later its successor, Famous Studios) between 1941 and 1943.
While Fleischer is best known today for its Betty Boop and Popeye shorts, its work on the Superman series was equally notable. These seventeen influential shorts, which are now in the public domain, were made just three years after the character debuted in Action Comics #1. They were the first examples of superhero animation produced in the United States and set the standard for action-adventure animation for decades to follow, inspiring everyone from Bruce Timm to Hayao Miyazaki.
