It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman is the title of a broadway musical based on Superman. It made its stage debut in 1966. It has since been made into a television special, and in 2010 a heavily re-imagined version of the play appeared in Texas, based on the golden age version of the character, but incorporating mythos from later Superman media.
