Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Gosh! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! Yes, it's Superman! Strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can leap tall buildings of a single bound, Brace a feeding bullet to its target, then seal in his bare hands, And who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice.
