Rough House

Owns the hamburger joint and Wimpy frequents Rough House's place in his constant search for a free meal.

Even The Water Tower Honours Popeye

DH was happy to see this... as it was on the way out of town.

Dr Who

For some reason the Tardis is currently in Metropolis.

Lois Lane

Lois Lane was an award-winning reporter and Clark Kent/Superman's primary love interest.

Superman

All that working out is paying off.

Apparently there's not enough news in Metropolis to warrant a Daily Planet newspaper so it is printed weekly and is known as the Planet.

Superman Museum

George Reeves As Superman

He was initially reluctant to take the role because, like many actors of his time, he considered television unimportant and believed few would see his work.

George Reeves As Superman

His death at age 45 from a gunshot remains a polarizing topic; the official finding was suicide, but some believe that he was murdered or the victim of an accidental shooting.

Clark Kents Glasses

Clark Kent

In 1992, Superman co-creator Joe Shuster told the Toronto Star that the name derived from 1930s cinematic leading men Clark Gable and Kent Taylor.

Superman

An early Superman that wasn't particularly impressive.

Superman

Superman's powers and villains were developed through the 1940s, with Superman developing the ability to fly, and costumed villains introduced in 1941.[

Superman Lunchbox

Every kids dream lunch box??

Superman All The Way To The Ceiling

Superman Cape

"You don't tug on Supermans cape"

The Super Phone

Superman Record Player

DH had one of these to play her hit songs from the 70's. We had to sell it when we started travelling 4 years ago.

Supergirl

Even surrounded by Supergirl costumes, DH remains unimpressed.

Superman

Caught changing in the phone booth.
