Superman

In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere. True?

Not true.

Not true... there is a lot of Superman's references in Seinfeld, that's a fact, but not in every episode... It's a bizarro world, isn't?

I think he meant merely a superman, as in a picture or a doll, not necessarily a reference to it. I know Jerry has a Superman picture on his fridge that is often shown.

for the record, I have also heard that there is a Superman in every episode.

The physical presence of Superman is represented in the history of SEINFELD by
a number of different statues,magnets, etc.
  The 2 most visible representations are the refrigerator magnet (which changes
position on the front of the frig) & the statue of Superman on Jerry's
bookcase.
There are about 25 shows where BOTH the statue & magnet are present. There are
two other statues of the superhero that are worth mentioning. One is a pasta
figure of Superman creatred by Kramer that is seen inplace of Jerry's statue
during THE CHICKEN ROASTER show when the boys switch apartments.
     There is also a statue of Bizarro Superman on the bookcase in Kevin's
apartment that is seen when Elaine switches friends and enters the Bizarro
World in THE BIZARRO JERRY.
   The magnet of Superman is seen by itself in about 22 shows.The statue is
seen bye itself in about 55 shows.
  There is no physical presence of Superman that I can see in the FIRST 54 or
55 shows. ( There are SOME references in these shows BUT only a slight
percentage {about 9 of the shows in 55}.
  Finally IF JERRY & THE GANG do not go into his apartment, then we do not get
to see Superman in that particular show (The Parking Garage & Merv Griffin Show
are examples.) Does Superman count then?
   In reality, it is more accuarate to say that the GREEN KLEIN BIKE is seen in
MORE shows than Superman.

Also... In "The Cheever Letters," when George is having dinner with Susan and her parents and they're about to tell Susan's father that Kramer burned his cabin down...Susan's father is explaining to them how he loves the cabin, and George compares it to Superman's "Fortress of Solitude."
