  1. Regarding the Fleischer cartoons, I read many years ago that the studio did want to have Supe fly, because it just looked lame (modern term) to have him bounding from place to place. I also recall that it was the cartoon "The Arctic Giant" (1942) that triggered the request for flight.

     

    Take a look at the cartoon on Youtube; Supe does indeed look strange leaping from building to building and then from mountaintop to mountaintop.
