    Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – Indy is dumped out of the car trunk, his hat tossed on the ground beside him – we don’t see his face. He reaches for the hat, and the shot switches to his shadow on the car as he puts the hat on and adjusts it, and the theme music plays on the soundtrack.The Fleischer Bros/Paramount cartoons always showed the transition from Clark to Superman in shadow or silhouette (my favourite being in the elevator with the frosted-glass Art Deco doors in Japoteurs – begins at about 6:20).

    • mike weber says:

      Well – his shadow; i’m suddenly not 100% sure it’s on the car – maybe on the ground?

    • mike weber says:

      For that matters, Japoteurs features infiltration [by agents of an inimical power with which the US was not formally at war] of a military base to steal something strategically important…

      And i’m trying to remember – i think it was the Chris Reeve Superman that has (as does ) Superman safely bringing a huge crippled airplane to ground with its fuselage and wings threaded between city buildings … or was it the World’s Finest Adventures animated?

      • Miles Vorkosigan says:

        Has to be the animated. The Reeve has him rescuing Air Force One; lightning had struck the plane, destroying the port outboard and taking part of the wing with it. Kal flew in and grabbed the wing by the engine mount and applied some extra lift. “Fly. Don’t talk, just fly. We’ve got… something. I’m not saying what. Just trust me.” We never even see AF1 land.

        In the Routh, he lands the crippled 747 press plane in the middle of Monarchs Stadium. (They are the Metropolis Monarchs, right?) By the nose. Pretty well ending the game, too. No outfielder I know is gonna want to navigate around that. You’d think he’d have gotten under it and carried the plane to the airport, parked it someplace, but no…

    When was that first Red K story? – i remember one from about 1954/55 (i think), in which time traveling lawmen from the future appeared at Metropolis Police HQ (or somewhere equally Official), stating that Superman was actually a fugitive mass-murder from their time – they used powdered Red K (which he had never before encountered) to subdue him.And they were able to predict that it would take away his superpowers temporarily (which they told the Metropolis cops). What they didn’t tell the cops was that it would first cause him to be unable to control his powers, leading to the impression that he was lashing out destructively in an attempt to escape.(Of course, “continuity” was a word that DC did not know in the 1950s.)It turned out, of course, that they were actually criminals from the future (possibly the first or an early appearance by the Revenge Squad?)…

      If you look at the Overstreet Price Guide it should tell you what the 1st Red K appearance was

      • mike weber says:

        I refuse to support the Overprice Street Guide.

        And i know that several errors of fact on similar questions have been found in it, too.

    The parallel-Earth Lex had turned himself in to Metropolis PD, and in order to make sure he was harmless they had him strip and took all his clothes and armor. When Kal, Diana and Wally showed up, a naked Lex was sitting in an interrogation room reading the Planet. After confirming his identity, he offered to go with them to the Watchtower to explain himself. Kal said, simply, “Pants.”But Bob, I don’t own an Ipod, so give this to someone who can use it.
