In the start of the old superman shows people would shout "Its a bird, Its a plane, no, its...SUPERMAN".
I understand getting excited when superman flies over but, why did the first two people get so excited over seeing a bird or a plane?
no..actually they're alien.they never seen a bird or a plane before..

Marvel Entertainment filed Friday a lawsuit that seeks to invalidate some 45 copyright termination notices filed in September by the heirs of comic book artist Jack Kirby.
Kirby was the artist who collaborated with editor and writer Stan Lee to create in the 1960s most of Marvel’s best-known superheroes, including the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the X-Men.
In September, shortly after it was announced that Disney would acquire Marvel, the heirs filed the notices, saying the heirs intended to exercise their right under current copyright law to terminate the transfer of the original copyright effective with the end of the original term of copyright. Copyright allowed for two copyright terms of 28 years before 1978, when new longer terms of copyright took effect. That means the the rights to the first of Kirby’s superhero efforts for Marvel, 1961’s Fantastic Four #1, could be terminated as early as 2017.
In filing the suit, Marvel argues that the work Kirby did for Marvel qualifies as work made for hire, and therefore cannot be reclaimed under the law.
I believe this is the first issue to celebrate a "hundred" milestone; Batman #100 followed a similar pattern several months later. As the Silver Age wore on these "anniversary" issues became more common, with Flash #200 sprinkling "200" signs everywhere, and Fantastic Four #100 featuring the return of just about every villain the FF had faced in their prior 99 issues. Well, the explanation is a little complicated. There was this crook who was hiding out in the waterfront district, but he had wired booby traps in innocent homes nearby that the heat of Superman's X-ray vision would explode, preventing Supes from looking for him that way. Harry had placed a bit of asbestos nearby to prevent the Superman robot from causing an explosion in the chemical factory. Similarly, Superman uses asbestos-treated eyeglasses to prevent the heat of his X-ray vision from exploding the bombs the crook has placed, and is able to capture him. Note that this was before Weisinger and his writers introduced the idea that Superman stored his Clark Kent clothes in a pouch of his cape. But when he's changing back, a man spots him. Supes changes his appearance quickly, giving himself a mustache and snapping the earpieces off his glasses. But according to a young man passing by, this makes him look like Mr Cranston, a former substitute teacher. A principal happens to hear this and is desperately seeking a sub. Supes would ordinarily decline, but Lois is also passing by (apparently this is all happening in the Grand Central Station of Metropolis), so.... When one of the ringleaders tries to incorrectly answer a math problem at the blackboard, Superman uses his super-breath to force his hand to come up with the correct solution. This convinces the rest of the class to do their work accurately, and so he has apparently tamed the group. In the end, Superman exposes himself, explaining that he wasn't really Mr Cranston, and if he was a real teacher, he could do much better: . Clark is promised...
