The Adventures of Superboy
The Adventures of Superboy is a series of six-minute animated Superboy cartoons produced by Filmation that were broadcast on CBS between 1966 and 1969. The 34 segments appeared as part of three different programs during that time, packaged with similar shorts featuring The New Adventures of Superman other DC Comics superheroes. These adventures marked the animation debut of Superboy, as well as his teenage alter ego Clark Kent, who acted as the bespectacled, mild-mannered disguise for the young hero, Lana Lang, and Krypto the super-powered dog who would accompany his master on every dangerous mission. Other characters such as Pa and Ma Kent, foster parents of the Boy of Steel, and the town of Smallville were also faithfully recreated from comic book adventures. As a result of the production's budget, the show featured a great amount of stock animation as well as limited movement from the characters.
The Batman/Superman Hour (1968–1969) includes this series' eight season 3 Superboy shorts, from Forget Me Not, Superdog through The Great Kryptonite Caper, already covered here. The combined package also contains separately catalogued Superman and Batman stories. Watch these shorts in series order; watching their hour-long presentation additionally repeats the same coverage.
