68. How does Clark come up with the spin change?

I didn't recall the connection until I watched an old Wonder Woman episode with Lynda Carter. In an interview, she said she came up with Wonder Woman's spin from her experience as a dancer when they needed a way for her to change quickly. I wonder if Clark's was inspired by Wonder Woman. Her spin is slower than Clark's in LnC, a function I suspect of the evolution of special effects from the 1970s to 1990s.

Her spin also evolved in Season 1 from

Original [i]Wonder Woman[/i] Spin Change

to

later Season 1


The Superman movie (and maybe more than the first) with Christopher Reeve had a running joke with him unable to find a suitable phone booth to change.

It doesn't explain how he came up with it in canon, but may explain why it was a special effect.
