- Executive Meddling: In 1940, Jerry Siegel wrote a story called "The K-Metal from Krypton," that would have introduced an early version of kryptonite and Superman revealing his secret identity to Lois. Siegel's publishers nixed this story as damaging to the franchise and made it clear Status Quo Is God would hold while both story innovations would have to wait for years.
- Name's the Same: Despite her name, Lois Lane is not going to be in the musical version of Taming of the Shrew.
- Star-Making Role: Almost every actor who donned The Cape and blue outfit became a household name.
- Tribute to Fido: The miniseries Superman for All Seasons, by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, gave teenaged Clark Kent a dog named Shelby, after Sale's own dog. It was a two panel gag, but Shelby later became more notable as the golden retriever in Smallville.
- What Could Have Been:
- Jerry Siegel intended to have Lois learn Superman's dual identity early on and get a Relationship Upgrade back in 1939 or so; as it happened, this did occur... in the mid-1990s.
- A man called Walter George Alton revealed in an interview that he was considered for the role of Superman but ultimately turned down for being too old. Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans may recognize him as the star of Puma Man.
