In the Max Fleischer cartoons, Clark was " timid. "
Same with the comics I read as a kid.
Similar in the Kirk Allyn Serials.
George Reeves played Clark not as timid, but as smart, sharp, pro etc.
Why did Clark change into a bumbling incompetent?Anyone else notice that change of character?
Opinions ?
