About

After The Daily Planet receives a letter from a mad scientist threatening to wreak destruction with his Electrothanasia Ray, Lois Lane heads out in the hopes of getting more information for a news story.

Fleischer Studios brings a level of fluid, cinematic motion to this animation that far outpaces its contemporaries. This short bursts with kinetic energy and shadow-heavy art direction, setting the visual blueprint for every superhero cartoon that followed.
