Kirk Allyn returned for a cameo, and Noel Neill (who played Lois Lane on TV) played Lois' mother (Lois was the girl that saw a young Clark outrun a train.)

There was an extended cut which actually spent a bit more time with Alyn and Neill.  In the theatrical version we only got a glimpse of them.

Did they all have heads?

It's been a while since I've seen the movie in its entirety, but I don't recall any headless characters.

Some ridiculous comedy.

Possibly "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (but were afraid to ask)."

Yes.

No.  About two decades later.  Not a big box office hit, though it had some famous actors.

I just looked it up.  I was correct.

2:  "I didn't sleep with her! Will somebody please believe me!"

2:  " Doctor!"

3:  "A second opinion...this is Dr. Frans Blau of the sex change clinic in Bethesda, Maryland."

4:  "Thank you. Dr. Randall, after extensive investigations, I've come to the conclusion that it's virtually impossible for you to have impregnated your nurse - Montana Moorehead - because before she came to our little clinic, she was... Milton Moorehead of Syosset, Long Island. Hello!"

1:  "NO! NO! NO!"

"You have beautiful eyes."

"Ooh, they're nothing compared to my tits."

"Actors don't like to play coma. They feel it limits their range."

I forget who also starred in that version.  I'm sure I'll remember in a few hours.

Land of 1000 Dances?

I was partway there, because I was remembering "Wing" and trying to remember who made up the Seven Soldiers of Victory.  Wing was the sidekick, but who was the hero?   If you remember Wing's costume (yellow with the red sunburst), you can remember whose costume was reversed.

This is The Crimson Avenger.

 

It is, indeed.  First appeared in Detective Comics 20, a half year before Batman.

His early costume was like the Green Hornet's, only red.  He used guns, drove a cool car, and had a Chinese sidekick.

Actually not red, but a synonym.

Green Arrow came later.  Interestingly, along with Superman, Batman (and Robin), and Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Green Arrow were the only two DC heroes to make it from the Golden Age to the Silver Age.

DC Comics is best known for two of its earliest costumed heroes, Superman and Batman.  There was a DC costumed crimefighter who first appeared between the initial appearances of Superman and Batman.  Who was he?  (A top hat and tuxedo don't count as a costume, so Zatara is out.)

For a number of reasons, this character is reminiscent of the Green Hornet.

George

So close...

Last one "Demolition Man"?

Anyway, I digress.  How did you know that George?  Wow.

I just had the mental picture of the show, and I seemed to recall it was a FOX show.  Educated guess.

This spin-off of a popular variety show took place in a diner.  Each episode had a country star drop in and wind up singing.

George

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

George

I actually remember this.  In fact, I might have actually watched the show..  I can't remember what it was, right now.  It wasn't a scripted show, because they had to be able to adjust the amount of time to whenever the halftime would end.

In Living Color?

Ok, I was about to say "Zatara" before you mentioned that.

 

This is really going back.   We're talking the Golden Age of comics.  And only DC.

So, everyone who was originally Fawcett (Shazam, Captain Marvel), Charlton (Captain Atom, Blue Beetle), Quality (Black Condor, the Human Bomb) who DC bought up later and gave their own Earth don't count. In fact, everybody on the "Public Domain Superheroes" website doesn't count because DC and Marvel both go to extremes to prevent copyright from lapsing.  (He had a strange dream that featured a hero whose copyright was going to lapse....) 

 

The oldest Golden Age superheroes- certainly with more costume than "hat. mask, coat" (or like Zatanna) tended to end up in the original Justice Society of America, so he (or she) probably ended up there. I have about 4 guesses of varying confidence, but I'm not going to start the round throwing all of them against the wall.   So, I'll start with one guess. 

 

Was it "WONDER WOMAN"?

No.  Wonder Woman appeared in 1941, two years after Batman.

This was a male character.  He was NOT in the Justice Society, though he was in another group (a few years after his first appearance).

George

That's it.

George

Correct.

George

Not on my playlist, either.  Sorry.

George

Ah.
