Mod note: For confused future readers, this thread was posted at almost exactly the same time as this other post with the same link: Up and At Them by griphus.

These are great, but it's worth noting that George Reeves didn't have the benefit of CGI and still looked awesome.
From imdb:
Episodes routinely required him to jump from significant heights to simulate Superman landing in frame or hitting a springboard with enough force to propel him out of frame. A frequent stunt required Reeves to grab a bar (outside of camera range) and swing in through a window, clearing his own height (over six foot) and landing on his feet. Reeves had mastered this gymnastic move so well that he could perform the stunt and immediately deliver his dialog without the need to cut to another angle.
