Synopsis:

In this sequel to The Atom Man, Superman's battle against his most dangerous foe continues. Just when the Atom Man is about to destroy Metropolis, the Kryptonite power in his blood runs out. In order to get ahold of one of the remaining pieces of Kryptonite, he teams up with the sinister Sydney. Knowing that Clark Kent is Superman, they lure the mild mannered reporter into a trap, intent on finishing him off for good, so they can finally rule the world. Atom Man in Metropolis is a story arc spanning 19 episodes. The original episodes have a running time of about 12 minutes, including an intro and an outro, a commercial break and recaps, as well as many drawn-out scenes of repetitive or expositional dialog. In order to enhance the pacing I removed all of the unnecessary stuff, rearranged bits of dialog, and cut some episodes almost entirely. I also added music, which the originals didn't have at all, and several sound effects.


Intentions:

I wanted to enhance the pacing and create a smoother listening experience. The sound quality of the original files is a little rough at times, and since the show was recorded with only one microphone the volume levels of the actors tend to vary. I tried to fix most of it, but it's still audible. Try to enjoy the nostalgic feel of it.


Change List:

Too many little things to list them all.


Additional Notes:




Other Sources:

I used more than 30 different tracks from all Superman soundtracks available, including the 90's TV show, as well as pieces by Gustav Mahler (Symphony No. 5) and Benjamin Britten (War Requiem). In Volume 1 and 2 of The Kryptonite Saga, I included two commercial breaks. This time I chose an excerpt from a BBC4 interview with 25 year old Jerry Siegel, instead of a second commercial.


Special Thanks:

All the good people who bothered to give feedback.
