"Fisher-Price (Fisher) Toy Manufacturing Factory Sponsored - "Adventures of Superman"."

The invitation sent by Colin did not get an answer immediately. This tough guy needed time to think.

Also, the next day at 8 p.m. on CBS.

Amid the announcer's impassioned advertisement, the radio drama "Adventures of Superman" aired a new episode as scheduled.

Announcer: "He possesses the characteristics of incredible adventure. He is faster than a flying bullet and more powerful than a locomotive. Even exploding bombs cannot penetrate his tough skin."

Passerby A: "Look at the sky!"

…

"It's Superman!"

Announcer: "Yes, it's Superman, a great superhero."

Announcer: "Today, Batman's young sidekick Robin makes his first appearance to tell Superman why he desperately needs his help, but before we join him on his exciting adventure, let's hear from Herman

·What Fisher said, well get started, Herman."

Herman Fisher: "Friends, one day I met a familiar customer. He came to my factory to visit our toy production process. When he saw our toys, he proposed a groundbreaking idea.

Why can’t we create a more free toy that allows us to do whatever we want?”

Herman Fisher: "Yes, that familiar guest is Colin Looper, the creator of "Superman," and the toy he talks about as he pleases is Lego."

Herman Fisher: "The Superman LEGO series launched by Fisher-Price Toy Factory has reached its latest generation. Two new characters, 'Giant Ape' and 'Lois', have been added, allowing you to perfectly copy the comics.

In the scene where the 'Giant Ape' captures 'Lois', the new series of Superman Lego will be sold in all major toy stores with windows tomorrow. If you don't want to miss this classic design worth collecting, hurry up.

Time to buy.”

Herman Fisher: “Remember, you can only buy the latest Superman LEGO bricks in a toy store with a window display!”

Herman Fisher: "Regular toys produced by the Fisher-Price toy manufacturing factory."

…

Announcer: "Now, The Adventures of Superman begins."

Announcer: "Due to a suspicious presence in a mysterious letter addressed to Superman, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen charter a boat and sail to North Bay..."

The character Jimmy Olsen was just a passer-by when he first appeared in "Superman", so Colin didn't spend much time coming up with a name for him.

But after the broadcast of "Adventures of Superman", in order to accurately distinguish the names of each character on the broadcast, Orson Welles made suggestions to Colin, and the latter also adopted this suggestion for this film, which was originally only in the comics.

The Courier-Journal reporter who appeared briefly was given a name.

It's just that Colin was a little lazy in it. The name Jimmy Olsen obviously came from the newsboy Jimmy.

He just took the other person's name and added a new surname at the end, and he became a character in the comic.

Although the process was a bit lazy, he obviously didn't think so about Newsboy Jimmy. When he saw his name appearing in the comics, he immediately went to the Courier Newspaper office to express his gratitude to Colin, and said that this was the first time he had been a child.

The most precious gift I have ever received.

It was also at that time that Colin learned the full name of the newsboy.

Jimmy Carter is a somewhat surprising name.

…

Announcer: "They found an unconscious boy in the wreckage of the machine in North Bay. When they were taking the boy back to the shore, a speedboat suddenly came towards them and rammed them, threatening to drown them.

When the time came, Superman appeared in time and saved them."

Announcer: "At the doctor's house, the boy woke up and said his name was Dick Grayson. He said the situation was serious and had given the note to Superman, but he refused to discuss the matter with anyone except Superman."

Dick Grayson, or Robin, also made his first appearance in "The Adventures of Superman", and unlike Batman, this character is also one of the rare characters to appear in a radio drama without any comic image design.

Even Lois and Clark's colleague Jimmy Olsen used his own image in the comics.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Batman comics do not have a specific publication. As a superhero who appears in the "Superman" story and is active in Gotham City, this superhero has not yet had his own personal publication.

But even so, Batman's popularity is not low now. Many fans even wrote letters to the Courier newspaper urging the newspaper to publish exclusive comics and even Lego toys for "Batman". Readers can't wait to know about this Gotham City.

The story behind the superhero.

Considering the current development of "Messenger Comics", Jack has made suggestions to Colin more than once to separate Batman's story from "Superman".

Colin already has an idea about this, but the specific method will have to wait until he upgrades his [Bronze Seal] to [Silver], otherwise he is worried that the rash creation of the origin of "Batman" will affect the subsequent [

Beliefs] collection makes an impact.

Of course, he could also give the story to other painters at the publishing house, such as Charles Addams, to create it.

However, considering the unique creative style of Charles Addams, the Gothic style does complement the image of Batman.

But this also needs to have a complete origin. Otherwise, Colin is worried that if the story is handed over to Charles Adams to design without any restrictions, Batman's style of painting may very well be gone.

biased situation.

Imagine that in the writings of Charles Addams, Batman becomes a gothic superhero who sleeps in a coffin and is surrounded by skeletons all day long.

Although it is interesting, it is obviously not the superhero image that most readers want to see.

A good superhero story is based on a specific origin context. Once the image of Batman is preconceived into a Gothic character written by Charles Addams, it will obviously be much more troublesome for Colin to reverse this image.

Already.

Therefore, instead of doing this, it is better to wait for a while.

During this period, although Batman's story could not appear in a specific comic form, Colin more or less responded to readers' expectations and created it into a radio drama.

…

Announcer: "Clark Kent took Dick to his apartment. Then he left for a while and reappeared as Superman. He told Dick that he saw the cape under his coat and the letter R on it.

Red uniform, and the boy also told Superman that he was Batman's new companion Robin."

Robin: "You must help me, Superman, you must help me!"

Superman: "Of course I will help you if I can."

Robin: "You're the only one who can help me."

Superman: "That sounds serious."

Robin: "Really, this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me!"

Superman: "That's a strong statement, Robin."

Robin: "It's true, look."

Superman: "YESIR..."

Robin: "Batman is missing!"

Superman: "What?!"

Robin: "Yes, Batman is missing."

Superman: "Oh my God! Where? When?"

Robin: "I don't know, he left me in a cabin in Queens across the bay..."

Superman: "Then what?"

Robin: "He asked me to wait for him there. He said he would be back before evening, but he didn't."

Superman: "He didn't. When did this happen? I mean when did he leave?"

Robin: "It was yesterday. Batman left after lunch. He said he would be back in a few hours."

Superman: "Did he say where he went?"

Robin: "No, he just said that he was working on the most important case in his life, and that he was going to solve the case that afternoon."

Superman: "Did he give you any hints about the case?"

Robin: "I asked him, but he refused to reveal what happened to me. He said it was too dangerous even for me to get involved. He just told me that the fate of the entire world depends on it."

Superman: "The fate of the entire world?"

Robin: "Yeah, you gotta find him, Superman!"

In the radio play, through the conversation between Superman and Robin, the audience in front of the radio learned that Batman mysteriously disappeared because of an important case. Although it was just a conversation between Superman and Robin, the secrets hidden behind it were already exciting.

I want to listen to it more.

They want to know what kind of secret has put Batman in crisis, and what exactly is the fate of the entire world according to Robin.

In Robin's explanation, Superman knew that after Batman left, suspicious people with guns appeared around the house where he was at that time. The butler Alfred Pennyworth reminded Robin of this. They

He cut off the phone cord and lurked around the house with malicious intent.

Bang bang bang——

Didi, didi, didi--

Alfred: "The doorbell rang."

Robin: "Then what should we do now? There are too many of them, and I can't handle them alone."
