Superman co-creator Joe Shuster visited Fleischer Studios in Miami and drew character sheets for Lois, Clark and Superman.

The first Fleischer Superman cartoon was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoon) of 1941.

Max Fleischer perfected the technique of rotoscoping, where performances are captured in live action, then traced to create animation.

The Fleischer Superman’s “S” shield – red against black – was revived by Alex Ross for 1996’s alternate-reality miniseries Kingdom Come.
