Reign of the Supermen #183: David Wilson

Source: It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman - the tv production (1975)
Type: TVIn 1975, the Broadway musical came to America's tv screens, albeit with some modifications. Gone were the "Chinese ninjas", replaced by Canadian gangsters. No, I don't have an explanation either. This time around, Superman was played by David Wilson, best know for... well, I can't think of anything really. Wiki says he teaches literature now, though IMDB has him taking on roles in the past year for the first time in 20 years. How good or bad a Superman was he? Through the magic of You-Tube, you can find out for yourself.

Setting the way-back machine to 1975...

Freaky x-ray vision... the problem with capes... and stealing Batman's shtick a decade on. Perhaps ABC did the right thing broadcasting this at 11:30 Eastern time to "compete" with the Tonight Show.

That sounds like a pun JD. You wouldn't be dropping a pun on us, would you?
