This Max Fleischer cartoon series is also one that often crops up on TV to this day. Again it's highly entertaining but, restricted to a mere 10 minutes or less, is even more one-dimensional than the later TV series: Lois Lane's scoop-seeking obsession is especially annoying - she contrives to fall foul of the villain in every single episode (Jimmy Olsen doesn't appear at all here and Perry White's presence is peripheral at best)! Since this is a wartime product, the villains in some of the episodes are revealed as being either Japs or Nazis; in fact, the cartoons have a decidedly jingoistic tone to them. Where these excel over the TV series is in the colorful visuals (allowing for a stylized look) and the far more dynamic and elaborate action sequences: here, obviously, there's no restriction on the animators' imagination.
