. . . about a show-boating hot dog and a wayward wench who sticks to him like bad news. Superman has an uncanny knack of making any calamity worse than it was before he arrived on the scene. BILLION DOLLAR LIMITED is no exception. When this brief cartoon came out, gold as valued at $35 an ounce, which means that one pound of the yellow stuff cost $560. By rounding that amount to $500, we can approximate that a billion bucks worth of gold bars would have weighed one thousand tons! Therefore, at best the would-be train robbers could have managed to stuff their getaway jalopy with about one quarter of one tenth of one per cent of this loot! Had Superman merely conceded that minuscule percentage of the gold shipment to the gang outright, he could have saved a historic TWO BILLION DOLLAR stone train trestle from being blown up! And what's with the deep-voiced Ms. Lane? Instead of parading around in men's duds (suits and ties), why doesn't she just start a GoFundMe campaign to finance some Gender Reassignment Surgery? Surely this would be the best way for her to become "just one of the boys."
