Commercial from 1985 for the Clark Kent action figure from the "Super Powers Collection" toy line. Featuring Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen. They do a really good job of matching the look of the Superman films.

The amount of fake movie trivia, AI generated posts and film posters is out of control on Facebook! But this poster is comedy gold. They aren’t even trying anymore to come across as genuine with “The Dark Knight Returns in Christian Bale Returns.”
