  2. The movie serials (1936-1940).
  3. The later comic strip (1944+).
  4. The first live-action television series (1954-1955).
  5. The first animated television series (1979-1980).
  6. The film (1980).
  7. The second animated television series (1996-1997).
  8. The second live-action television series (2007-2008).
