Campy, dynamic, and larger than life, It's A Bird... It's A Plane... It's Superman® captures the sights and sounds of 1960s New York City as Superman battles a vengeful scientist determined to destroy the world’s symbol of good. Meanwhile, Daily Planet writer Lois Lane struggles to make sense of her rocky romance with the superhero, and Lois' ambitious coworker Max vows to make a name for himself by unveiling the Man of Steel's secret identity.
