Before his 1980s series, a black & white pilot episode of a Superboy TV series is produced in 1961. To this day it remains unaired. It stars Johnny Rockwell (right) as the teenager. Above: a criminal's car crashes into the mighty Boy of Steel. A VHS tape of the show, including screen tests for the Lana Lang role, is available from Video Rarities.
