What critics compared Superman to
It was probably an easier decision, in 1978, for the filmmakers behind Superman to embrace the genial, aw-shucksiness of the character.
And, yes, since I brought it up, "Superman" co-creator Jerry Siegel was inspired by Burroughs' work as well.
In fact, Batman and Superman actually both had movie serials in the 1940s.
