Yes! Popeye was the early, protoype for the "superhero" genre, but didn't quite have all the aspects together the way superman did . Superman is THE superhero and what MADE superheroes great; and is THE mold that almost all other superhero designs start out with before changes are made to make them different.
Batman had a show in 43 and 49 that’s still on CZcams if y’all wanna watch it. At least I think that’s what years it said. Either way it’s well worth the time
Hopeful, heroic and optimistic, this theme captures everything that is good about Superman. I definitely put this up there with the iconic John Williams theme
Are you drunk? Even the Superman TAS Theme is superior to this mediocre happy hippo feel good theme. Shit, even the 90s The adventures of Lois and Clark Theme is better than this.
I remember being in kindergarten watching the entire series on those big Classical Cartoon DvDs with Mighty Mouse and Popeye. All the other kids grew up with 90s and early 2000s shows, I grew up with those and THIS.
same, my love of superheroes was born the first time i watched this on VHS, if i'm not mistaken "the mummy strikes" was the first episode i ever saw of this cartoon was hooked ever since
A few years ago, I saved a little kitten from getting hit by a car on the highway. When I returned to our car, I listened to this tune silently with joy 😅
Anyone who hasn't read "Superman Smashes the Klan" should read it. A modern comic short story that absolutely embodies the classic spirit of Superman, the champion of Truth, Justice and the American Way.
@@BrandonKohout technically Lee Falk's The Phantom 1936 was the first superhero, not Superman. Just that Supes is more popular today, and not many comic fans do their research fairly well with superheroes. I'm not out to be disrespectful, just stating the facts. Take care and stay safe
@@8-bit918 yes you are definitely right! Technically speaking Falk's Mandrake the Magician is actually the first, but the Phantom was the first superhero in tights and the white eyes. Sorry about that, and take care :)
I was born in 2000 and believe it or not this was actually my first introduction to Superman, we had it on VHS and still to this day I have no idea how my parents got it, will always remember this intro though
Faster than a speeding bullet... More powerful than a locomotive... Able to leap the tallest buildings in a single bound... This amazing stranger from the planet Krypton, the Man of Steel... *_SUPERMAN!_* Possessing remarkable physical strength, Superman fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice, disguised as a mild mannered newspaper reporter, Clark Kent.
Superman was also described as being faster than a streak of lightning, more powerful than the pounding surf, mightier than a roaring hurricane, and able to soar higher than any plane
I've always been on team Marvel, but no cartoon series based on a Marvel series even comes close to the original Superman cartoon. You take the win this time, DC.
this is an excellent introduction to superman though! it gives a newcomer the basic essence of what Superman is and is supposed to be, without complicated stuff like the Comic books, the Extended universe Lore, and the dark, edgy, "new" superman that DC is currently running around with. I'm 23 and I was introduced to Superman with these, _Superman returns,_ and the Superman movies from the 80s with Reeves. (Yes I watched Superman 4, yes it was pretty awful lol) My dad and I watched Superman and Popeye when I was a kid. great cartoons that had the classic "good vs bad" storylines!
@@hobomike6935 Man, popeye, since I watch anime now, I coined it "the original shounen" But yeah between Popeye and Superman, my heroes were older than my Dad. heck, possibly even older than my grandma
John Williams' Superman March and the Superman: The Animated Series intro theme may be gold, but when I always picture the Man of Steel's return in the Kingdom Come comics, I always pictured a choral rendition of THIS VERY THEME.
This as well as The DCAU were my favorite animated Superman series. I'm sad the Flescher brothers weren't alive to see Superman the Animated series. They would have loved it.

"so you still believe Superman is the measuring stick for what a superhero should be instead of Batman?" Me: i do, and I'm tired of pretending he's not.
man, when i was little in the early 2000s i remember watching the hell out of these my father had them in vhs, till this day this is one of my favourite cartoons
The first time I heard this was in the Popeye cartoon "She-sick Sailors ". It was MANY years later when I finally saw "The Mechanical Monsters" at a convention. I cheered my lungs out.
I’m not a big DC fan, but I do have a soft spot for this iteration of Superman, because when I was a kid I watched this cartoon with my Dad who’s favorite superhero is Superman. I’ll never forget the way his face lit up when this song played and seeing his favorite hero in motion. I believe my Grandpa showed him this show as a kid so it took him back. So despite not being much of a Superman fan myself, I have nothing but love and respect for this version of Superman… the animation is amazing and this theme song is one of the most heroic tunes I ever heard. But the way my Dad’s face would light up when this song played at the start of every episode… I’ll never forget that. Like seeing a man become a kid again.
It would be interesting to see how these composers would've reacted if someone could've sent them John Williams' theme back in time from 1978 to 1940s.

Superrman!...Superman! superman! Superrrman!superman! supermannnn!. I always thought the song had vocals but I just imagined them. Is kind of like the "Nanana Batman!"
Lyrics by me: "Superman, Superman!. the man who always has a plan Superman" "Superman, Superman!, gonna fight to the end Superman" "When the forces of evil appear...there will always be one who will stand up for what is right and take them down!" "Superman, Superman!, the man who always has a plan Superman, he will fight to end Superman!" "From the planet Krypton where he hails (where he hails), he'll fight for truth and justice until the ultimate battle has been won!" "Superman!, Superman!, will never let us down Superman!" "He will fight to the end Superman!!"
Superman in the 40s: always the man with a plan superman in the 80s and 90s: Justice League does all the actual planning for him, he just approves it or makes final suggestions.
The Fleischer theme would be the thing to use if one ever adapts the Post-Crisis storylines concerning Chris Kent...because there's no way that you can't see the six turned 16 year old (via kryptonian shadow magic) utilizing this theme to go round up villains.
I read somewhere that a good Superman theme should have you humming "Superman" along with the theme. This is true for both this and Williams's version. I honestly prefer it to the darker and more contemporary Zimmer score but that's just my taste
I love the 9 Superman cartoons much better than the other 8. And the 9 Superman cartoons are Superman AKA The Mad Scientist, The Mechanical Monsters, Billion Dollar Limited, The Arctic Giant, The Bulleteers, The Magnetic Telescope, Electric Earthquake, Volcano, and Terror on the Midway.

But, there came a day when giant quake thereatened to destroy Krypton forever. One of the planet's leading scientists sensing the approach of doom, placed his infant son of a small rocket ship and sent it hurtling in the direction of the Earth, just has Krypton exploded. (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!) The rocket ship sped through star sudded space, landing safely on Earth with it's precious burden Krypton's Soul Survivor. A passing motorist found the uninjured child and took it into an orphanage. As the years went by and the child grew to majurity, he found himself possessed of amazing phisical powers... Faster than the speedy (speeding) bullet, more powerful than the locomotive, able to leap the tall buildings in a single bound... The infamous Krypton is now the Man Of Stell; Superman! Who's best be in a position to use his amazing powers in a never ending battle for truth and justice, Superman has assumed the disguise of Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper. 📰🗞

Thanks mom!
the Superman theme i knew when I was a kid
To me, this is the theme I think of when I see Superman.
Esse é o verdadeiro Super Homem, aquele que inspirou desde criança
Superrman!...Superman! superman! Superrrman!superman! supermannnn!. I always thought the song had vocals but I just imagined them. Is kind of like the "Nanana Batman!"
I have the old VHS is from when I was a kid I've never heard this theme song so clear before
Okay this is pretty cool. Now if someone could just make an epic version of this.
0:13 *Supermaaan! Supermaaan! Superman, Superman, Superman~!*
So epic
Lyrics by me:
"Superman, Superman!. the man who always has a plan Superman"
"Superman, Superman!, gonna fight to the end Superman"
"When the forces of evil appear...there will always be one who will stand up for what is right and take them down!"
"Superman, Superman!, the man who always has a plan Superman, he will fight to end Superman!"
"From the planet Krypton where he hails (where he hails), he'll fight for truth and justice until the ultimate battle has been won!"
"Superman!, Superman!, will never let us down Superman!"
"He will fight to the end Superman!!"
Moises Nunez nice lyrics that would make an awesome intro to the tv show
Haha thoughts a mouthful

superman in the 80s and 90s: Justice League does all the actual planning for him, he just approves it or makes final suggestions.
After watching all of the Fleischer and Famous shorts, this theme is permanently engraved in my head. That's not a bad thing.
Superman theme by the original Paramount cartoons
You will believe a man can fly
Hope Gunn uses this theme in some way in his movie or even John Williams' theme
