In Mits of the trial Both Republic pictures, and Columbia pictures would produce two competing sequels in 1950
Atom Man vs Superman by Colombia pictures which would introduce Lex Luthor to the silver Screen and Republic pictures Captain Marvel: Return of The Scorpion. Which was famous for replacing previous stars Tom Tyler (whose Alcohol problem was out control) and Frank Coghlan jr (who was viewed as to old) with George Reeves, and Roddy McDowell. Though Atom Man was more well received it was clear to all that the movie serials time was up

But The Man of Steel faced competition With NBC's Doc Savage:Man of Bronze. produced by Colombia pictures
Dr. Clark Savage Jr. would be played by Film serial actor Buster Crabbe ,Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Blodgett "Monk" Mayfair, was played by Claude Akins, Brigadier General Theodore Marley "Ham" Brooks, was played by Michael Pate, Colonel John "Renny" Renwick, . played by Charles Bronson, Major Thomas J. "Long Tom" Roberts played by Barry Nelson and Pat Savage was brought in the second and final season with Elisabeth Montgomery in the role but experimental flying effects was more cost effective then exotic locations as well as Superman finding it's target audience in children caused NBC to cancel the series after the second season and easily aloud Superman the clear victor lasting til 1958

Well, actually, not all of it IS in 63. Actually, only one of them would logically be. Sorry about that. Maybe I should do a schedule to put things into perspective. ^^; Just to show the most likely future releases of these properties.

1963: Kelly's Eye
1964: Mytek the Mighty
1967: Mr. A, Nightshade
1968: The Creeper, Hawk and Dove, Sally Forth
1969: Janus Snape, John Cannon, The Misfits
1970 Adam Eterno
1976/7:Shade.

Sorry If I gave the impression that I thought all these guys should be released in the same year. Even I know how unrealistic that'd be. ^^;

Oh I was just referring to all of the comics that did get made in 63
