I agree with your sentiments that most of the people in Metropolis, especially the criminal element, should be aware of Superman by now, after all of his exploits to this point. I do wonder if the urban legend status that the radio serial was going for at the beginning influenced the comic books at all. Maybe Whitney Ellsworth, who I think was the editor, told Siegel and Shuster to dial back the public awareness of Superman? Just a thought I wanted to share, even though as I’ve said on my podcast, I believe they are two different continuities.

Superman seems to have a history of other forms of media somewhat controlling what happens in the books. The Death of Superman is an example of that. But then, that doesn't just happen with Superman. Look at Marvel Comics before the MCU blew up and then after the MCY blew up and you'll see a radical difference. |
