Comic book writers' contributions

Unlike other television incarnations of the Superman character, Superboy was brought to life by many actual comic book writers.

Series history

Season 1

In October 1988, John Haymes Newton played the lead role of Superboy/Clark Kent, along with Stacy Haiduk as love interest Lana Lang, and Jim Calvert as Clark's college roommate T. John Haymes Newton (born) is an American Actor. He is known for playing series regular roles on the television programs Superboy, Stacy Haiduk is an American Actress who has starred in numerous television shows such as Superboy, SeaQuest DSV, and Lana Elizabeth Lang is a Fictional, Supporting character in DC Comics ' Superman series J. White, nephew of Perry White. Perry White is a Fictional character who appears in the Superman comics. Scott James Wells played Superboy's arch-nemesis Lex Luthor and Clark's loving parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, were portrayed by Stuart Whitman and Salome Jens, respectively. Scott James Wells is an American actor primarily noted for playing the villain Lex Luthor during the first season of the television series Superboy. Lex Luthor is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. Stuart Maxwell Whitman (born February 1, 1928) is an American Actor. Salome Jens (born May 8, 1935 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American actress

Thirteen episodes were initially filmed for Season 1, beginning with "Countdown to Nowhere", featuring Superboy's first appearance in public as he prevents a group of saboteurs from selling a powerful laser weapon developed by the U. S. government to an arms dealer. "Countdown to Nowhere" aired in two versions: an "uncut" version in which the story plays in the present day, and a second version in which the main story is introduced as a flashback through two additional scenes with Lana, Clark, & T. J. in the Shuster Herald's office. The second version has some scenes cut in order to fit the flashback lead-ins into the episode.

The first thirteen episodes of Superboy were rather crude compared to later episodes. The producers, not sure whether any additional episodes would be ordered, did their best to save money on the first thirteen. As a result, the special effects are a bit rougher, and the episodes have a grittier, real world feel to them. This brought about more character oriented stories, and stories with more ordinary villains like drug dealers and crime bosses.

As the season progressed and thirteen more episodes were ordered for the first season, special effects got better and the show took on a more professional look. More fantastic enemies were introduced, such as a gaseous alien who could possess the bodies of others in "The Alien Solution", a life-force vampire in "Succubus", and long-time Superman villain Mister Mxyzptlk (guest star Michael J. Pollard) in "Meet Mr. Mr Mxyzptlk ( pronounced mɪksˈjɛzpɪtˌlɪk or mɪksˈjɛzˌpɪtɫɪk) sometimes called Mxy, is a Fictional Supervillain who appears in Michael J Pollard (born May 30, 1939) is an American Actor. Pollard was born Michael John Pollack Jr Mxyzptlk". Superboy's nemesis, Lex Luthor, was introduced in "The Jewel of Techechal" (the first episode broadcast) as Clark's classmate at Shuster U. Lex Luthor is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. This Luthor was more interested in fixing basketball games and humiliating Superboy than anything else. The season finale, "Luthor Unleashed", completely changed his character, however, by adapting a popular Superboy story in which Superboy is responsible for Lex losing all of his hair, becoming the familiar bald villain Superman fans have come to recognize. This unleashed a new hatred in Luthor for the Boy of Steel and made him more determined than ever to kill Superboy, rather than just get the best of him.

Season 2

In the second season, drastic changes took place. The producers of the show accepted Newton's resignation due to a contractual dispute. He was replaced by Gerard Christopher in the lead role. Gerard Christopher (born Jerry DiNome in New York City on) is an American actor As opposed to other actors who have portrayed the Man of Steel, Christopher was actually a longtime comic book fan who relished the opportunity. [1]

Scott Wells was also replaced as Lex Luthor by Sherman Howard. Sherman Howard (born June 11, 1949) also known as Howard Sherman, is an American Actor. The change in Luthor's appearance was explained in the second season opener "With This Ring, I Thee Kill", which revealed Luthor had plastic surgery to assume the appearance of Warren Eckworth, inventor of the "Superboy Gun", which Luthor believed could kill Superboy. The character of T. J. White was gone, and Andy McCalister, portrayed by Ilan Mitchell-Smith, became Clark's new roommate. Ilan Mitchell-Smith (born June 29, 1969) is an American assistant professor of English at Angelo State University in San The villains were amped up in the second season, as additional comic book characters were introduced to the series, many of them appearing for the first time in live-action. Metallo (played by Michael Callan), Bizarro (played by Barry Meyers), and the Yellow Peri appeared in the second season, and Mister Mxyzptlk (returning guest star Michael J. Pollard) made a return appearance, and Gilbert Gottfried played a nasty wisecracking criminal genius named "Nick-Nack" who used toys to commit crimes in two episodes. Metallo is a Comic book Supervillain and Cyborg who appears in Superman stories published by DC Comics. Bizarro is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by DC Comics.

Season 3

With the third season, the series saw another change. The show's title officially became The Adventures of Superboy, and the setting shifted from Shuster University to The Bureau for Extra-Normal Matters in Capitol City, Florida, where Clark and Lana were interns. Andy McCalister was dropped from the series (Ilan Mitchell-Smith would make a return guest appearance as Andy in the episode "Special Effects"). Ilan Mitchell-Smith (born June 29, 1969) is an American assistant professor of English at Angelo State University in San The new supporting cast consisted of Clark and Lana's co-worker at the Bureau, Matt Ritter, portrayed by Peter Jay Fernandez, and the Bureau chief C. Dennis Jackson, played by Robert Levine. The tone of the series changed dramatically as darker stories were produced and the overall look of the series took on many characteristics of film noir. A few journalists at the time suggested that this darker look was largely due to the success of Tim Burton's Batman movie from a year prior. Timothy "Tim" William Burton (born August 25 1958 is an American Film director, Screenwriter and Set designer, notable for the quirky Batman is a 1989 Superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Many stories dealt with more mature themes, a change new producers Julia Pistor and Gerard Christopher implemented. Gerard Christopher (born Jerry DiNome in New York City on) is an American actor In "Rebirth", Superboy is confronted with the possibility that he may have accidentally taken a human life, and gives up his Superboy identity in guilt. "Mindscape" deals with Superboy's deepest fears as an alien life-form brings those fears to life in Superboy's nightmares while simultaneously draining his life energy. "Roads Not Taken" shows the different paths Superboy's life may have taken, as Superboy travels to alternate earths where his life is very different. He meets a version of himself who killed Luthor in a fit of rage and another who has become a despotic ruler of earth. The alternate version of Superboy who took Luthor's life was shown wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses which bears some resemblance to the Conner Kent version of Superboy as he first appeared in the "Death of Superman" storyline. The Death of Superman is a Comic book Storyline (culminating in Superman #75 in 1992 that served as the catalyst for DC Comics ' The third season ended with the two-part "The Road to Hell" with former TV Tarzan Ron Ely guest-starring as an adult, retired Man of Steel from an alternate reality. Tarzan aired on NBC from 1966 – 1968. The series portrayed Tarzan (played by Ron Ely) as a well-educated character Ronald Pierce "Ron" Ely (born June 2, 1938) is the stage name of the American actor and novelist born in Hereford Texas.

Season 4

The fourth season maintained the look and feel of the third, and was the first in which no major cast changes took place. Noel Neill and Jack Larson, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen in the 1950s series Adventures of Superman, made a guest appearance in the episode "Paranoia". Noel Neill (born November 25, 1920) is an American actress in motion pictures and television best known as Lois Lane in the television series For The Simpsons character see Jack Larson (Simpsons Jack Edward Larson (born February 8, 1928) is an American Lois Lane-Kent is the primary love interest in the DC Comics ’ Superman stories James Bartholomew "Jimmy" Olsen is a Fictional character, a Photojournalist who appears mainly in DC Comics ’ Superman stories Adventures of Superman is an American Television series based on Comic book characters and concepts created in 1938 by Jerry Siegel The trend of more mature stories also continued in episodes such as "To Be Human", in which Bizarro becomes human, only to be forced to give up his humanity to save Superboy's life, and "Into the Mystery", in which a mystical, ghostly woman leads Superboy to his dying aunt's bedside. A memorable Luthor tale, "Know Thine Enemy", appeared in this season, and featured Superboy re-living Luthor's tortured memories of childhood via "psychodisk" while Luthor threatened to destroy all life on earth.

The series' demise

The fourth season would be the series' last. A finale for the fourth season was filmed in which Superboy died at the hands of Luthor. The episode was intended to end on a cliffhanger and the story would be resolved in a series of TV movies. Soon after the episode "Obituary for a Superhero" was filmed, a lien was filed by Warner Bros. against the series. In Law, a lien is a form of Security interest granted over an item of Property to secure the payment of a Debt or performance of some other Warner Bros Entertainment Inc (or Warner Bros, Warner Bros Pictures) is one of the world's largest producers of Film and The show's ratings were still high, and the Salkinds were planning on a fifth and sixth season for the show, but the series concluded in 1992 with the two-part episode entitled "Rites of Passage". Nielsen Ratings are audience measurement systems developed by Nielsen Media Research to determine the Audience size and composition of television The planned Superboy finale episode, "Obituary for a Superhero", was reworked and aired within the season, with Superboy showing up alive at the end, having only faked his death to lure the killer out of hiding.

The lien was placed as a result of Warner Bros. wanting the film and television rights to Superman back under their umbrella. Warner Bros Entertainment Inc (or Warner Bros, Warner Bros Pictures) is one of the world's largest producers of Film and The film and TV rights to Superman were leased to the Salkinds (the producers of the first three Christopher Reeve Superman movies and the 1984 Supergirl film) during the 1970s. Christopher D'Olier Reeve ( September 25, 1952 – October 10, 2004) was an American Actor, director, Supergirl is a 1984 Superhero Film. It stars Helen Slater in her first motion picture role in the title role of the DC Comics Although Superboy was a Salkind production of a Time Warner property, it was distributed in the United States by Viacom, which later merged with Paramount in 1994. Time Warner Inc ( is the world's largest media and entertainment conglomerate, headquartered in New York City. Viacom ( ( short for " Vi deo & A udio Com munications" is an American Media conglomerate with various worldwide interests Paramount Pictures Corporation is an American motion picture production and Distribution company, based in Hollywood California. Because of the number of different companies involved in Superboy, and due to legal issues between Salkind and Time Warner that took time to settle, the Superboy television series has not re-aired on American television since its initial syndicated run. Though Time Warner owns all the footage to every other Salkind production of a Superman property exclusively, it shares ownership of the Superboy footage with Viacom/Paramount and Salkind.

After Warner Brothers put the lien in place and regained the film & television rights to Superman from the Salkinds, the company produced Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Lois & Clark The New Adventures of Superman (often called Lois & Clark or The New Adventures Of Superman) is a Live-action American It is believed Warner put the lien in place only to open the door for Lois & Clark, not wanting two Superman-related TV series on the air at the same time (later on, Warner Bros. would produce other Superman related television shows such as Superman: The Animated Series and Smallville, as well as the feature film Superman Returns). Superman The Animated Series is the unofficial title of a Warner Bros Superman Returns is a 2006 Academy Award -nominated Superhero film based on the fictional DC Comics character

Videos and DVDs

Bootleg VHS and DVDs

Some time after the series' cancellation, there was a dispute over what rights to the character the Salkinds actually owned. For a time this prevented any official home video release of the series. Home video is a blanket term used for pre-recorded media that is either sold or hired for home entertainment Between 1992 and 2006 the only way to see Superboy in the United States was by ordering bootleg VHS and DVD copies of the series sold on eBay and other websites. A bootleg recording is an audio and/or Video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority DVD (also known as " Digital Versatile Disc " or " Digital Video Disc " - see Etymology)is The audio and video quality of these copies was varied. In 1999, Gerard Christopher began offering three VHS tapes of the series created from his personal master tapes (Christopher has masters of all of the episodes he starred in, Seasons 2-4). Each video tape featured four episodes (which were selected episodes from Seasons 3 and 4), and was sold on his website for a price of $25-$30 US. The United States dollar ( sign: $; code: USD) is the unit of Currency of the United States; it has also been A fourth VHS video tape was released by Christopher in 2002. Christopher not only sold these video tapes on his website by mail order, but also sold them at personal appearances when attending various comic book conventions and shows.

In response to overwhelming fan demand, Christopher decided to offer all Superboy episodes on DVD, offering a complete Season 2 set on DVD in June 2004 and planning to sell complete sets of Seasons 3 and 4 in the future. The Season 2 set consisted of three discs, was produced by Christopher himself, and sold for a price of $159. 00 US. The latter two seasons were planned to be sold at a reduced cost. Tapes and DVDs sold by Christopher were the best quality copies of the series available, since they were made from master tapes, rather than from off-air recordings like all other bootleg copies.

When Warner Home Video announced the official release of Season 1, Christopher announced that his self-produced DVD sets would no longer be available on his website in 2005, with the planned DVD releases for Seasons 3 and 4 cancelled. Warner Home Video is the Home video unit of Warner Bros Entertainment Inc

Aftermath of the first legal battle

In an interview for the webpage supermanhomepage.com, Salkind revealed that the legal battle between the three companies involved in the series' production (Viacom, Warner Brothers, and the Salkinds) was the reason the show was not rerun on television or released to home video. This dispute was recently settled, opening the door for the series to be released on DVD and also through AOL's in2tv free-on-demand internet streaming site.

It is WB's ultimate decision as when to release the final three season sets. The dispute between Salkinds, WB, and Viacom has been resolved which was why Season One was released back in 2006. (Sam J.
