Up in the sky. Look.
- It's a bird. - It's a plane.
It's Superman!
In the endless reaches of the universe...
...there once existed a planet known as Krypton.
A planet that burned like a green star in the distant heavens.
Their civilization was far advanced, and it brought forth a race of superman...
...whose mental and physical powers were developed...
...to the absolute peak of human perfection.
But there came day when giant quakes threatened to destroy Krypton forever.
One of the planet's leading scientists, sensing the approach of doom...
...placed his infant son in a small rocket ship...
...and sent it hurtling in the direction of the Earth just as Krypton exploded.
The rocket ship sped through star-studded space...
...landing safely on Earth with its precious burden...
...Krypton's sole survivor.
A passing motorist found the uninjured child and took it to an orphanage.
As the years went by, and the child grew to maturity...
...he found himself possessed of amazing physical powers.
Faster than a speeding bullet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.
The infant of Krypton is now the Man of Steel...
...Superman.
To best be in a position to use his amazing powers...
...in a never-ending battle for truth and justice...
...Superman has assumed disguise of Clark Kent...
...mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper.
Hello, Clark? Are you awake?
I'll say. Who could sleep through a racket like this?
Well, it's been going on every night since we've been in town.
What do you suppose it could be?
Could be sabotage, I hope.
Me too.
But who?
Clark, do you suppose-?
Yes, Lois?
Oh, nothing.
Just a silly hunch that maybe Superman might be over here.
Quiet. Do not talk.
This sabotage must stop at once.
Clark. Clark.
It is Superman. I just saw him.
Swell chance they've got of catching him.
- Miss Lane. - This way, please.
How does it feel to be home?
Smile, please.
How about Clark Kent? Did he get away?
No. No, he's still over there.
But don't worry, Superman promised to look after him.
