Jan 23, 2023 at 16:41 | comment | added | Kenster | @Covertwalrus The 1941 Fleischer Studios theatrical cartoon series is credited for the idea that Superman can fly. They tried animating him leaping from place to place and it looked silly. The book publisher apparently transitioned him from leaping to flying around the same time to align the comic books with the cartoons. | |

Of course, leaping hundreds of feet would be a pretty fast mode of travel, back of the envelope calc suggests at least a mile a second in that way although the damage he would cause on landing... | |
