Superman Cartoon - Secret Agent - WWII Era

Episode specific comments to be added later.
Where did talent go these last 60 years? Now we have computer programs running on vast arrays of physics simulators, that don't do as well as these folk did in 1941.
I will be posting about a dozen of these World War 2 era Superman cartoons over the next week or two.
Please pay close attention to the animation. The animation of the people isn't the best, but any time there is structural drawing or something that was considered high-tech for the day, the animation is incredible.
I don't know how to describe it really, but there is a mixture of realism in the cars and buildings mixed with a sense of fantasy in the other elements that just really, really WORKS to make these a fun time.
There is a lot of politically incorrect stuff in some of these, so please remember the times these came from before whining about that.
This is where we came from, not where we are now.
Produced by the Fleischer studios, the same folks that brought you Popeye cartoons, and the early ad piece "In My Merry Oldsmobile" which is also available here.

"Bridge to Airport" XD and a very long one, too!
Do you even know what I was implying? I meant that Lois looks like a man in this animation,and not that she IS a man.
Then what did you expect? "Lois looks like a man, LOL!"?
Lois Lane does not appear in this cartoon.
1.) These, much like Popeye or Tom & Jerry or WB, were done specifically for theater viewing. Not the (then still in its youth) television market. So even by those standards, these cartoons had MUCH more money put into them than today's cookie-cutter for TV animation.
Also, you have to realize what these were. These weren't just paying the bills and fun like Popeye. These were probably the director's proudest works. His magnum opus.
As I said before, these weren't meant to pay the bills, I doubt Max Fleischer recouped the cost of producing these fine works.
One thing of note however. Is that Warner Bros studios obviously took alot of inspiration from these when they made Batman:TAS =)
I always liked a dark story....
