The Adventures of Superboy(Movie, 1961)

The Adventures of Superboy is a proposed TV series that was put into production in 1961. It was meant to capitalize on the success of Adventures of Superman, which went out of production in 1958. Only a pilot episode ("Rajah's Ransom") was produced, although 12 additional scripts had been prepared, had the series been picked up. It featured the first non-comic book portrayals ever of Superboy and Lana Lang and stands as a forerunner of the later series Superboy, which lasted four seasons and Smallville, which lasted ten seasons.
