Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Disguise! Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman. Strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who has come to Earth with physical powers far beyond those of mortal men.

And who fights a never-ending battle against crime and oppression disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper.
