Very cute special effects, considering the year of the production. The plot is also interesting, although I don't get used to cliffhangers. This kind of serials weren't shown on theaters when I was a kid, but some of them were lately broadcasted on TV, 3 or 4 episodes put together like a 90 minutes movie. The quality of both sound and image is good. I missed more extras.

The 15-chapter 1948 serial of Superman spans our hero's first arrival on Earth to his alter-ego role as reporter Clark Kent through his battle with sinister Spider Lady.

This brings back fond memories of childhood Saturday afternoons at the movies. A few serials and cartoons and a good action movie! The production values are of course rough by today's standards, but it has an original charm and I'm enjoying the series. I've only had a chance to watch a few episodes so far, but as a collector of old movie serials I'm glad I added this to the collection.

If your really into Superman then you have to have this dvd in your collection. Its a bit corny compared to what we see these days on the big screne but for its time it was great viewing. I had it on VHS but these days you have to have everything on DVD. Much better viewing

Don't let the positive reviews fool you. The "Superman" serials are poorly made and not even good for laughs. Kirk Alyn looks OK as the Man of Steel, but gives a rather cheesy performance. I'll stick with George Reeves.
