About Superman: The Bulleteers (1942)

The Fleischer Superman cartoons (1941-43) were the first screen adaptation of the Man of Steel and some of the most lavish animated shorts of their era, with art-deco design and full animation that still influences superhero animation today.

The Bulleteers (1942) is the fifth of seventeen animated Technicolor short films based upon the DC Comics character of Superman, originally created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster. This animated short was created by Fleischer Studios. The story runs about eight minutes and covers Superman's adventures as he defends the city against a villainous gang called "The Bulleteers", who are equipped with a bullet-shaped rocket car. It was originally released on March 27, 1942.
