Reviewer: Betty Burks (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews
In the Fifties, we had a real Superman, someone who fought for Truth, Justice and the American Way on television. He wasn't as dapper as Christopher Reeve but George Reeves was the first and foremost Superman. To us teens back then, he looked old and bulky (not sualve as they do today), but that was the ...

crime wave is probabaly the best episode from the adventures of superman. its clips along at break neck speed, superman kicks bad guy butts, it actually looks grittier in glorious black and white and it has the real lois lane in phyllis coates.
reeves superman may have been padded but he had a grit and non chalance that both the earlier superman (kirk alyn) and the later superman (christopher reeve)lacked.

Like the others in this series, Volume 2 of the "Adventures of Superman" series offers up a pair of black & white and color episodes from the syndicated television series starring George Reeves that ran from 1952-1957, along with one of the Fleischer Superman cartoons. "Crime Wave" (Episode #24) finds Superman fighting a crime wave that is sweeps Metropolis only to be exposed to atomic rays.

Warner Home Video has issued only a few one-hour volumes of television's "Adventures of Superman," but Volume 2 is by far the best -- evoking fond memories of the classic series. "Crime Wave" (1951) and "Perils of Superman" (1957) represent some of the finest b&w and color episodes, with George Reeves in great form as the definitive Man of Steel. Sandwiched between the two episodes is "The Mechanical Monsters" (1941), an excellent Superman cartoon from the Fleischer Studios. ... Read More

Any Superman fan can't go wrong with this one! "Crime Wave" is one of the most gripping tales of the 1951 season, complete with stock footage of all of the great fight scenes from that year! "Perils of Superman" is one of the best color episodes, and proves that George Reeves had a great future as a director! The Max Fleischer cartoon is beautifully animated, but it's the two TV episodes that MAKE this video! BUY IT, and see why Reeves is remembered so fondly as the TRUE Man of Steel!
