The TV movie-of-the-week The New Original Wonder Woman airs on ABC, starring Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner. Red Buttons, Chloris Leachman and Eric Braeden guest star. This is ABC’s second attempt to bring the comic book heroine to the small screen (following a 1974 pilot movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby).

This episode, guest starring Fritz Weaver, opens the show’s second season, and advances the story into the present day (the late 1970s), eliminating the expenses of props, costumes and cars associated with wartime America.

Warner Bros. releases the Richard Donner superhero film Superman: The Movie in American theaters, starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty, and Marlon Brando. A retelling of the origin story of Kal-El, last son of Krypton, and his arrival on Earth as Clark Kent, the movie successfully introduces a new generation of filmgoers (who may not have been steeped in comic book lore) to the exploits of Superman, turning Reeve into an overnight sensation and ensuring a series of sequels. Though other actors will portray Superman/Clark in years and decades yet to come, for many this film fixes Reeve as the definitive film portrayal of the character.
Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins is released, starring Christian Bale. Michael Caine, and Liam Neeson.
