The majority of DC characters given their own movie serial in the 1940’s were characters appearing in Action Comics.
Vigilante, Congo Bill, and (obviously) the two Superman serials starred characters with long runs in Action Comics. The moral here is, if you can’t be the most popular super hero in America, then be his back-up feature.
