In 1942, Fleischer Studios was dissolved and reorganized as <a href="/wiki/Famous_Studios" title="Famous Studios">Famous Studios</a>, which produced the final eight shorts.

The Fleischers were also well into production on their second, <i><a href="/wiki/Mr._Bug_Goes_to_Town" title="Mr. Bug Goes to Town">Mr. Bug Goes to Town</a></i>. Not wanting to risk becoming overworked (which could compromise the quality of each project), the Fleischers were strongly (but quietly) opposed to the idea of committing themselves to another major project when they were approached by their studio's distributor and majority owner since May 1941, <a href="/wiki/Paramount_Pictures" title="Paramount Pictures">Paramount Pictures</a>. Paramount was interested in financially exploiting the phenomenal popularity of the then-new <i><a href="/wiki/Superman" title="Superman">Superman</a></i> comic books, by producing a series of theatrical cartoons based upon the character. The Fleischers, looking for a way to reject the project without <i>appearing</i> uncooperative, agreed to do the series—but only at an (intentionally inflated) per-episode-budget number so exorbitantly high that Paramount would have to reject <i>them</i>, instead. They told Paramount that producing such a conceptually and technically complex series of cartoons would cost about $100,000 per short (or $1.6 million per short as of 2023<sup id="cite_ref-inflation-USGDP_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-inflation-USGDP-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>); this was about four times the typical budget of a six-minute short of the Fleischers' popular <i><a href="/wiki/Popeye_the_Sailor_(film_series)" title="Popeye the Sailor (film series)">Popeye the Sailor</a></i> cartoons of that period.<sup id="cite_ref-Maltin_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Maltin-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> To the Fleischers' shock, instead of withdrawing its request, Paramount entered into negotiations with them, and got the per-episode budget lowered to $50,000.

When the Fleischers started work on the series, the Superman of the comic books could only <i>leap</i> from place to place (hence the classic phrase, "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound"). After seeing the leaping fully animated, however, the Fleischers deemed it "silly looking", and asked permission from Action Comics (later DC Comics) to have him fly instead; the publisher agreed and Superman was formally given the power of flight thereafter.

The sleek look of the series continued, but there was a noticeable change in the storylines of the later shorts of the series after Famous replaced Fleischer as producer.

For the final two Fleischer-produced cartoons and the first of the eight Famous Studios-produced cartoons, the opening was changed to "Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to soar higher than any plane!". For the remaining Famous Studios-produced cartoons, the opening line was changed again to "Faster than a streak of lightning!

For international prints of <i>Superman</i> cartoons starting with "Showdown" the opening line is "Faster than a streak of lightning! More powerful than the pounding surf!
