1153 Old Time Radio Shows on One MP3 DVD
The first Superman comic appeared in 1938, and this wonderful radio series started very soon after in 1940. Many of the events in this series are crucial to the development of the Man of Steel, such as the first appearance and introduction of his only weakness--kryptonite and his pal Jerry Olson. That's right they both appeared here before in the comics. This awesome DVD contains episodes from the very first on February 12, 1940 to November 11, 1950. There are 1153 Superman Episodes for a total of 255 Hours 55 Minutes and 3 Seconds of classic superhero entertainment. The episodes are organized in chronological order on the DVD.
"The character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster arrived on radio not long after the comic book and took on an added dimension with Bud Collyer in the title role. During World War II and the post-war years, the juvenile adventure radio serial, sponsored by Kellogg's Pep, was a huge success, with many listeners following the quest for "truth, justice and the American way" in the daily radio broadcasts, the comic book stories and the newspaper comic strip.
Airing in the late afternoon (variously at 5:15pm, 5:30pm and 5:45pm), the radio serial engaged its young, after-school audience with its exciting and distinctive opening:

'Faster than a speeding bullet!
More powerful than a locomotive!
Able to leap tall buildings with a single bound!
Look ! Up in the sky!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's Superman!'

Because Superman's true identity was a secret, it is often believed that the identity of radio actor Collyer also remained a secret. But while it is true that Collyer was left off the program's credits, as early as September 14, 1942 Time ran an article identifying the actor and joshing him for his many Sunday school fans. In 1946, Collyer's name was finally added to the radio credits.
Since there were no reruns at that time, the series often used plot devices and plot twists to allow Collyer to have vacation time. Kryptonite was the most famous of these, allowing Superman to be incapacitated and incoherent with pain while secondary characters took the focus instead. At other times, Batman and Robin appeared in Superman's absence.
The scripts by B.P. Freeman and Jack Johnstone were directed by Robert and Jessica Maxwell, George Lowther, Allen Ducovny and Mitchell Grayson. Sound effects were created by Jack Keane, Al Binnie, Keene Crockett and John Glennon." -- Wikipedia

As an added bonus, I've included 4 Batman Radio episodes circa 1950. This brings the total episode count to 1157 episodes.
