Description
Superboy is a half-hour live-action television series based on the fictional DC Comics comic book character Kal-El’s early years as Superboy. The show ran from 1988–1992 in syndication. It was renamed The Adventures of Superboy at the start of the third season. The Superboy series was brought to the screen by executive producers Ilya and Alexander Salkind, the producers of the first three Superman movies and the 1984 Supergirl movie. This series and the release of the 1988 Superman animated series on CBS coincided with the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Superman character that year. Ironically, the series came about a year after DC Comics had “erased” the character of Superboy from their continuity in The Man of Steel reboot by John Byrne. Nevertheless, the show went on in October 1988 with John Haymes Newton playing the lead role of Superboy/Clark Kent, along with Stacy Haiduk as love interest Lana Lang and Jim Calvert as Clark’s college roommate T.J. White. As with all Superman properties, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, Superman’s creators, received no proceeds whatsoever from the show. Nevertheless, this version of “Superboy” featured Clark Kent/Superboy attending the Siegel School of Journalism at Shuster University in Shusterville, Florida – names which reference Superman’s creators.
