Super Fun look at Nostalgic Radio, December 3, 1999
This review is from: All-American Heroes: Superman with Batman & Robin on Radio (Audio Cassette)
"Superman With Batman and Robin" is good fun radio. I have always been impressed with Bud Colyer's portrayal of Superman from radio, the Fleischer Cartoons, and the 60s TV series. But now we have a 20 cassette collection of 119 radio programs to enjoy. On top of enjoying these old programs, we get a rare treat of listening to the original Superman 1939 audition called "Clark Kent Reporter"! (Never aired). And we get to hear the last season of Superman where Collyer is replaced by Michael Fitzmaurice, who unfortunately simply cannot recreate Collyer's Superman voice. The reason I do not give it 5 stars is because there are some bad recordings in a few episodes, and also, I have to admit that I do get tired of the number of "Kelloggs PEP" commercials heard throughout the programs. But overall it is great family entertainment and I hope that RADIO SPIRITS crank out even more titles as time goes on. It's true SUPER FUN!

The Trio of Heros on Radio, September 7, 2003
This review is from: All-American Heroes: Superman with Batman & Robin on Radio (Audio Cassette)
It was radio that first teamed up Batman,Robin and Superman.Here are the complete,unabridged episodes!I like these tapes because all the action takes place in your imagination,not as some one else thinks it should look like!I also like the way Bud Collyer gives different voices to Superman and Clark Kent.We even here him in the first episode-as Jor-El!The music is campy and the commercials can get annoying,but if you like the keros,classic radio or both this set is a must.If you just want to enjoy these superheros in a different way,that's SUPER too!

HUGE collection of Superman on radio, October 9, 2001
This review is from: All-American Heroes: Superman with Batman & Robin on Radio (Audio Cassette)
This 20 cassette boxset is the most comprehensive collection available of Superman on radio. 119 episodes in total, there are no duplicate episodes from other Radio Spirits Superman collections. As a nice "extra," this set includes a rare 1939 audition episode that was never aired. "Superman With Batman & Robin on Radio" contains several Superman milestones, including the serial "Knights of the White Carnation" (dealing with issues of racism, with white supremacists as the villains), for which the producers of Superman were honored with a humanitarian award. Superman's first encounter with Kryptonite is told in "Superman vs.. Kryptonite". Kryptonite was invented for the radio show, when Superman actor Bud Colyer wanted to take a vacation. Along with this is Superman's first encounter with they dynamic duo, Batman and Robin. They were brought in to replace Superman while Colyer was on vacation. Other serials include "The Man Without a Face," "The Phantom of the Sea," "Mystery of the Lost Planet," "The Monkey Burglar," "Drought in Freeville," and "The Story of Marina Baum." The only drawback of this collection is that it is not available on CD. Still, an excellent purchase.
