It’s another bad car!

It occurs to me that everything I said about the T-Rex in the last one is also true, more obviously even, about cool cars. They’re a modern marvel for Superman to contend with. I’ll admit that I think the cool car in Billion Dollar Limited is cooler than this one, but this one is part plane, so that’s an even more modern marvel.

Anyway, in this cartoon the Bulleteers (cool name) have this high tech supercar that can fly and can just smash its way through anything. From their mountaintop lair (with massive speakers and a rock drawbridge and stuff, who are these guys?) they demand money or they’ll go on a rampage. They don’t get the money, so they go on a rampage. Lois heads off to investigate, and when she gets a chance she tries to bust up the car as well. Anyway, Superman stops them. You get it.

There’s a bit about six minutes and ten seconds in where Clark jumps off a building and the way he gets his footing to do it appeals to me. As I said in the Billion Dollar Limited one, I like when Clark’s flight has more weight to it. Details like this are what I want.

This one ends with Lois getting the scoop on the story, with no interference from Clark. Good for her. No wink at the end here, but they do walk past a “Buy Defense Bonds” poster that I think may be the first acknowledgement of the War that these shorts have had.
