WHO KILLED SUPERBOY?


(The reality behind the demise of hit TV series)




Did you know that, near the end of the 3rd season of TV's 'Superboy' and with ratings at an all-time high, the Salkinds planned to exercise options for a 5th and 6th season of the hit series?


Did you know that, only months later, during the summer hiatus between the 3rd and 4th seasons, 'Superboy' suddenly and inexplicably had a legal lein against it?


Did you know there is a connection between 'Lois & Clark' and 'Superboy', a connection that would ensure 'Superboy' never to appear in syndication again?


Did you know that the Salkinds, blocked from renewing 'Superboy' for 2 more seasons, planned on doing an epic Superboy series finale titled 'The Death of Superboy'?


Did you know that Luthor would kill off Superboy in that series finale?


Did you know that the Salkinds planned to resolve Superboy's murder in 'The Death of Superboy', a TV mini-series of Superboy movies?


Did you know he would come back to life?


Did you know that the development on the 'The Death of Superboy' TV movies was suddenly abandoned just like the series was suddenly abandoned?


Did you know 'The Death of Superboy' was planned out a year and more before the epic ‘The Death of Superman’ comic book?


Did you know that years before plans were announced for 'Superman Lives' with Brainiac as the main villain, a 'Superman V' was planned with Brainiac as the main villain?


Did you know that before Nicolas Cage was slated to don the famous tights and cape in 'Superman Lives', Gerard Christopher was slated to don the tights and cape in 'Superman V'?


So, whatever happened to The Boy of Tomorrow?


Who killed Superboy? The answer may (or may not) surprise you....

Below is an old link to a petition formed by DMWC, and at that time Superboy fans wanted to get others to sign it to get WB to relinquish the lien against the Superboy TV series. Now, thankfully, the lien has been dismantled and Ilya Salkind has made it possible to release the first season of "Superboy: The TV Series" onto DVD. You may still want to visit the link, for sake of checking it out as I will leave it up. Sign the petition here. .

Help get Superboy back on TV and released to video/DVD.



A special thanks to a fan named Doug Randolf.
He helped me with much of the research on this site.
We both had strong opinions about the Superboy series when we
thought of doing the death-page
so don't let that keep you from forming your own opinions!
And Doug also wrote the above teaser. Thank you!
