What moves him and what controls his urge to punish people is way above the rest. I love this is brought to visual for everyone to see."

You follow Clark as he goes through high school, works at Daily Planet, and encountering the typical Superman related heroes and villains. A show that is worth watching if you're into superheroes!"

However, it did show that it was indeed possible to adapt a major superhero character into a TV show with great success and cohesiveness. I consider this one of the best superhero tv shows of all time for what it was able to achieve."
