Also it should be noted Warner Brothers and DC own Supes, but in the credits of shows and movies like Justice League and Justice League Unlimited it always states "Superman created by JS and JS" as well as "Batman created by Bob Kane"

Hey thanks for uploading this. I saw it as a kid way back in '81. I always remember that opening shot of the children listening to the radio. Missed it when it was repeated a few years back so thank you again!
