Biography
Behind the scenes
- Superman was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, and made his official debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938.
- The theatrical shorts Super-Rabbit and Stupor Duck are parodies of Superman.
- Outside of direct parodies, Superman is also referenced within the Warner Bros. theatrical shorts:
- In Brother Brat, an image of a woman wearing a superhero uniform was used to represent the female workforce of the home front during World War II.
- In Scrap Happy Daffy, Daffy becomes "Super American" in reference to Superman, following a motivation by his ancestors.
- In Fast and Furry-ous, Wile E. Coyote wears an Acme-branded super outfit that vaguely looks like Superman's uniform.
- In Swallow the Leader, a black and white cat wears a costume resembling Superman's outfit.
- In Claws in the Lease, Sylvester dons a Superman outfit and becomes Superpuss to eject a horde of mice.
- In the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "The Looney Beginning," Plucky Duck, dressed as a flying superhero, says, "Up, up and up some more." This is a paraphrase of "Up, up, and away," a motto Superman says in his 1940s radio series of the same name.
- According to the gag credit, Superman's cameo in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries cost two thousand dog bones.
