Dan Riba
Alan Burnett & Paul

Dini
September 6, 1996
The Kryptonian scientist Jor-El is collecting data from an ice field on the planet Krypton. After obtaining the samples he needs, Jor-El escapes an
earthquake and an attack from a Kryptonian creature. Jor-el analyzes the data and discovers that rising pressure from Kryptons core will eventually
destroy the planet. The computer Brainiac, which is in charge of monitoring all major operations on Krypton, denies this. Jor-El is unable to
convince Kryptons rulers of the planets impending doom, and his recommendation to transport all Kryptonians to the Phantom Zone
to escape the explosion proves unpopular. When Jor-El confronts Brainiac on the matter, he notices that it is downloading all the data it has
collected about Krypton, preparing to flee with it into space. Brainiac reveals that he was aware of Kryptons mounting pressure long before Jor-El
did, but decided not to inform the populace, concluding that saving all the information about the Kryptonian civilization would be just as good as
saving the civilization itself. If Brainiac were to be honest, the Kryptonian government would frantically put it to work on an evacuation plan,
preventing it from downloading the data in time. Jor-El considers opening fire on the supercomputer, but decides against it as that could possibly
wipe out all memories of Krypton. Brainiac orders the Kryptonian police to arrest Jor-El, but he manages to evade them for the time being. Once
home, he and his wife Lara send their only son, Kal-El, into space moments before the planet explodes, all but wiping out the Kryptonian race.

This is a list of Adventures of Superman episodes. Much of the Superman "formula," in all forms of its media
presentations, involves Superman rescuing someone, either one or more of his colleagues or another person or
persons. In those cases, success is largely a matter of Superman simply "getting there on time" to save the day. Some
of the strongest episodes in the series tend to be the ones where Superman himself is in peril, either because of
exposure to the presence of kryptonite, external forces, or some other daunting challenge.
Several episodes raise the threat of exposing Superman's secret identity as Clark Kent. The only humans to know for
sure, other than Clark's adoptive mother, are a few villains in some episodes whose discovery leads them to their
deaths before they can tell anyone else. Two animals, a dog named Corky and a burro named Carmelita, also know
Kent and Superman are one and the same. The only other entity to know, apparently, is a computer.
Beginning with season three, the series began to take on the lighthearted, whimsical tone of the Superman comic
books of the 1950s. The villains were often caricatured, Runyonesque gangsters played with tongue in cheek.
Violence on the show was toned down further. The only gunfire that occurred was aimed at Superman, and of course
the bullets bounced off. Superman was less likely to engage in fisticuffs with the villains. On occasions when
Superman did use physical force, he would take crooks out in a single karate-style chop or, if he happened to have
two criminals in hand, banging their heads together. More often than not, the villains were likely to knock themselves
out fleeing Superman. By then very popular to viewers, Jimmy Olsen was now being played as the show's comic foil
to Superman. Many of the plots featured him and Lois Lane being captured, only to be rescued at the last minute by
Superman.
Scripts for the last season did not always hit the campy lows of the previous two years and reestablished a bit of the
seriousness of the show, often with science fiction elements such as a Kryptonite-powered robot (a left-over prop
from "The Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters"), atomic explosions, and impregnable metal cubes. In one of the last
episodes, "The Perils of Superman" (a takeoff on The Perils of Pauline), there was indeed deadly peril straight out of
the movie serials: Lois gagged and tied to a set of railroad tracks with a speeding train bearing down on her, Perry
White nearly sawed in half while tied to a log, Jimmy in a runaway car headed for a cliff, and Clark Kent immersed
10
in a vat of acid. This was one of three episodes directed by George Reeves himself in an attempt to inject some new
life into the series. Noel Neill's hair was dyed a bright red for this season, though the color change was not apparent
in the initial black-and-white broadcasts. Although Reeves's efforts did not save the series from cancellation, "The
Perils of Superman" is regarded by some as one of the best episodes. The numbering scheme in the following list is
derived from the purely consecutive numbering used in Superman: Serial to Cereal.

scientist's secluded desert shack, for his expertise in atomic energy is needed by his former country's government. Ladislav refuses to work for
them. However, the two agents have an ace in the hole. If Ladislav refuses to cooperate, his sisters Anna and Sonya will pay the ultimate price with
their lives. Guest Stars: Ben Ari as Dr. Latislav, George Khoury as Nicolai, Elaine Riley as Miss Collins Agent X-29, Mark Sheeler as Igor, Jan

"The Superman Silver

Mine"
George Blair
Peggy Chantler Dick
March 10, 1958
Having struck it rich in his thirty years as a prospector, Harrison Pebble wishes to give to those in need. Both the Daily Planet and Superman are
actively involved in the Children's Camp Fund, and Pebble has some land that would be perfect for the charity's use. Money for the site will come
from a silver mine that Pebble has named Superman Silver Mine in honor of the Man of Steel. This news could most certainly make the youngsters
of Metropolis very happy. Gangster Dan Dobey and his henchman Boris have been in a slump lately. However, Lois Lane's article on Harrison
Pebble and the Superman Silver Mine in the Planet give them an idea. Dobey is a dead ringer for Pebble. The only differences are Dobey has no
mustache, and he has a metal plate in his head from an injury to his skull in an automobile accident. Dan Dobey could pass himself off as Pebble
without any problems. Should he be able to do so, the Superman Silver Mine and its wealth could fall into the criminal's greedy hands. Dan Dobey
may get more than he bargained for if Superman discovers his evil plot. Guest Stars: Dabbs Greer as Mr. Pebble/Dan Dobey, Charles Maxwell as
Boris "Bordelaise."

Daily Planet editor Perry White is fit to be tied with reporters Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. It seems to the chief that they always need Superman's
help when they try to get an exclusive for the newspaper. White has now challenged Jimmy and Lois to get their next scoop without the aid of the
Man of Steel. Should they do this, they will get the ten dollar raise promised them two years ago. The only condition to the challenge is that Perry is
to go with Lois and Jimmy to see the story as it progresses. However, Mister White must promise to let Olsen and Lane run things for the article.
Perry, Lois and Jimmy may get more than they bargained for if Superman is unable to help them. Especially when an eccentric scientist creates an
anti-memory vapor, which is used to stage a robbery. Guest Stars: Phillips Tead as Professor Pepperwinkle, Billy Nelson as Knuckles Nelson,
Herb Vigran as Mugsy Maples.

"The Gentle Monster"

David Chantler
March 24, 1958
It's a busy evening in the offices of the Daily Planet. Crime boss Duke has called to threaten Clark Kent. If he doesn't stop his investigations of the
gangster's munitions operations, an experimental bomb created by Duke's scientist Harold will hit the Planet Building. The explosive device is
composed of a radio directional receiver, a balloon and a bottle of super nitroglycerin, and it could be powerful enough to obliterate most of the city
once it goes off in Kent's office. It could even blow up during construction of the weapon. Meanwhile, Mrs. Taylor, who owns and runs a boarding
house on 64 Hope Street in Metropolis, has seen an iron monster prowling around next door. Superman may very well have his powerful hands full
before this night is over. Meanwhile Duke force Dr. Pepperwinkle to use his robot to commit crimes. Guest Stars: Ben Welden as Blade, John
Vivyan as Duke, Orville Sherman as Gangster Scientist, Wilkie DeMartel as Mr. MacTavish, Phillips Tead as Professor Pepperwinkle.

Inspector Henderson introduces her to him, the Man of Steel and O'Hara discuss her investigation. Our hero then does something that takes

"The Brainy Burro"
George Reeves
David Chantler
April 14, 1958
Daily Planet reporters Lois Lane, Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen are in El Pueblo, Mexico. They are in a restaurant meeting a boy named Pepe. The
lad has a rather unique pet - a burro named Carmelita who Pepe claims can read minds. The animal's power is tested when Clark is asked to think of
how many times he's been in Mexico this year. Carmelita taps the floor thrice with her hoof. Lois thinks that she is mistaken because Clark only
went once south of the border. However, Superman has been there for rescue efforts. To save his secret identity, Clark says that he traveled in two
other moments about which Lois didn't know. In the meantime, Carmelita even guesses Jimmy's age correctly. The burro may very well be
telepathic. This could lead to her and Pepe being involved in the most intense adventure of their lives with Superman. Guest Stars: Marc Cavell as
Pepe, Sid Cassel as Waiter, Edward LeVeque as Juan Luque, Natividad Vaco as Inspector Tomayo, Ken Mayer as Albert, Mauritz Hugo as Tiger.

April 21, 1958
Daily Planet editor Perry White's secretary Ethel has just called the chief. A most unusual person wants to see him. White, exasperated with all the
mystery and cub reporter Jimmy Olsen's bumbling, allows the insistent visitor to enter his office. He, Lois Lane and Jimmy are surprised by what
they see. The man is wearing a mask made of lead. He is discussing his intentions as Clark Kent enters the room. Since the Planet and Superman
were responsible for his incarceration, he and his ten other similarly disguised men will exact their revenge on the Man of Steel by trapping his
friends in differently creative ways. His mask is locked on, and only the ringleader has a key. With no way for Superman to identify his enemy, the
caped hero will have to discover other means to stop him before Perry, Lois and Jimmy find themselves in grave peril. Guest Stars: Yvonne White
as Ethel, Michael Fox as Masked Man #1 ("Boss"), Steve Mitchell as Masked Man #2.

talks about the gold making apparatus. Gangsters Nick Mitchell and Elbows Logan are sitting in the diner booth behind them, and they have heard
