RUBY-SPEARS’ SUPERMAN 1988 TV THEME (by Ron Jones, Bill Woodson, & John Williams: Music of DC Comics, Volume 2)

SUMMARY:                                    RUNNING TIME: 1:02 Min.

Celebrating the Man of Steel’s 50th Anniversary in 1988, this 13-episode Ruby-Spears animated series utilized a main credits theme inspired by John Williams’ classic Superman march.  Adapted by composer Ron Jones, voice actor William “Bill” Woodson (who once narrated the Super-Friends opening theme) handles the intro.       

REVIEW:

The narrator’s script is near-verbatim to that read by John Gart for the 1960’s New Adventures of Superman cartoons.  Yet, the inspired touch is sampling familiar elements of John Williams’ Superman theme.  Hence, hearing this rare TV tune (including the sound effects) is a real treat.  Even if the Ruby-Spears animated series hasn’t aged well, this nostalgic track retains a welcome sense of Superman magic.
