Trivia
Unlike the other Superman cartoons, this film has the characters and the Daily Planet set explicitly in New York City, rather than in the City of Metropolis.

Quotes
[first lines]
Voices: Up in the sky, look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!
Narrator: Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall 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.

Crazy credits

Electric Earthquake

A political subtext in this cartoon short.

The mad scientist is a Native American who demands the return of Manhattan to his people.

Somehow he makes his demands to the Daily Planet who are in no position to acquiesce to them.

The scientist has wired up electrical charges underneath the seas to cause a series of earthquakes that destroys buildings.

It is a job for Superman and once again intrepid reporter Lois Lane finds herself in peril. She managed to sneak into the scientist's boat.

There is some good animation here with the destruction scenes.
