Superman was released by Atari in March of 1979 and designed by Steve Ritchie. Part of the "Golden Age" of pinball.
The Playfield:
The plunger sends the ball to the top rollover lanes, getting 1, 2 & 3 doubles bonus, adding lane 4 triples bonus. Each rollover adds to the bonus itself. Three pop bumpers are directly below the rollover lanes. Bumpers score 100 or 1000 when lit. Only one or two are lit at the same time. Below the pop bumpers there are 5 drop targets. Hitting the one that is lit awards more points. Shots off the drop targets can easily bounce into the right out lane, you have to be very careful.
The right side has a lane called "Luthor's Lair" with a "Luthor" spinner at the bottom. The right side has a similar lane called the "Fortress of Solitude" with a "Superman" spinner and a little loop at the top before it feeds the in lanes. Between the "Fortress of Solitude" and the pop bumpers there is a small lane that leads to a kick-out. It awards points, an extra ball or special depending on how many sets of drop targets are completed.
Below the "Fortress of Solitude" is a pop bumper over the left out lane. White stand up targets and the return lanes near the flippers spell SUPERMAN for 30,000 points.

- get the in lanes to double and triple the bonus
