In2TV's Superman Channel will also feature the online and on-demand debut of the new documentary "Look, Up In the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman," directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, Kevin Burns, and produced by Burns and "Superman Returns" director, Bryan Singer. The documentary, which premiered on A&E, is narrated by "Superman Returns" star Kevin Spacey and features rare clips and behind-the-scenes footage from virtually every Superman incarnation, including "Superman Returns." Also featured in the documentary are dozens of interviews with Superman luminaries including Jack Larson, Noel Neill, Margot Kidder, comic book legend Stan Lee, and "Superman Returns" stars, Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth and Sam Huntington.

Also on the Superman Channel:

The Adventures of Superman -- "Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, it's Superman!" The quintessential TV series starring George Reeves is back. Fans can reconnect with the original live action version of America's favorite superhero in his never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way.

Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman -- The recent popular sci-fi television series romantically unites the fantastic duo while exploring the odd love relationship that develops between a modern career woman who falls head-over-heals for Superman while not realizing that he is also her best friend, Clark Kent. Starring Teri Hatcher ("Desperate Housewives") and Dean Cain ("Las Vegas,") fans can see how the couple works out their differences in this sexy take on the classic superhero. Look for guest stars including Howie Mandel ("Deal or No Deal,") Jonathan Frakes ("Star Trek: The Next Generation,") and rock-n-roll legend Roger Daltrey (The Who).

Superboy -- Before "Smallville" there was the first television interpretation of a young Clark Kent which premiered in 1988. Fans join Clark during his college-years at Shuster University. The mild-mannered journalism student battles his arch-nemesis, Lex Luther, while trying to sweep Lana Lang off her feet. Loved by gen-Xers, see how the "Superboy" series successfully introduces "Superman" arch-villains Metallo and Bizzaro!

Max Fleischer's Superman Cartoons -- Everybody's favorite Superman cartoons originally appeared in movie theaters as shorts before airing on television. Max Fleischer is the granddaddy of the animated short. He made the first animated shorts with sound and produced the beloved Popeye and Betty Boop cartoons. His designs on this Superman series were so revolutionary they influenced the look of many superhero cartoons to follow.

"Look, Up In the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman" will be available on DVD, from Warner Home Video, on June 20th.
