Ah! The Old Fake Superman Bit
The one with the impostor
"Showdown" is a 1942 8-minute cartoon from the days of World War II again. But it is entirely unpolitical In here, Superman goes up against a man posing as Superman while robbing banks and stealing jewelery. Apparenty his (or better his master's) intention was to change the hero in the public eye. It is really a stupid idea though as, obviously, Superman would do his best to catch him quickly. We are talking about a man here who stops big dinosaurs and volcano eruptions. Anyway, I still kinda enjoyed this one and I believe it is one of the better entries to the franchise, perhaps because Lois is really supporting in here and does not play a great role, also won't get kidnapped this time. This one is Superman's battle and his battle only. I recommend the watch. By the way, this one had Izzy Sparber directing and not Dave Fleischer.
