I am on a Golden Age kick. What are some recommended Golden Age Superman comics?

Listen to the radio show, The Adventures of Superman. It introduced a lot of major aspects to the Superman mythos, and is easily just as influential in a lot of ways as the GA comic was.
>Introduced the Daily Planet, Jimmy Olsen (also making him Supes’ best friend), and Perry White
>Introduced Kryptonite
>Introduced Superman’s first full on rogues gallery (Yellow Mask, The Wolfe and Keno, Scarlet Widow, Max Heller, Der Teufel, The Vulture, The Laugher, Atom Man, Sidney, etc.)
>Introduced “look up in the sky”, “faster than a speeding bullet”, and “Truth, Justice, and the American way”
>Explored the usefulness of Clark Kent almost more than anything else Superman related
>Introduced the very first Superman/Batman team up

All the early stuff is great because of how unlike it is to what people think of Superman

>the very first Superman/Batman team up
- The first time Superman and Batman with Robin appeared in any way was on the cover of World’s Best Comics #1 (1941) (became World’s Finest Comics with #2). There was no story meeting of Superman and Batman in this comic.
- The first time Superman and Batman meet in a story is not in the comics but on The Adventures of Superman Radio program in 1945. The first time Superman and Batman meet in a comic book story is Superman #76 (1952).

Right. I’m not counting a cover.

Didn't Robinson or whoever retcon the radio play story to be Canon to Earth-two?

It was in World's Finest #271. That was written by Roy Thomas.

I mean I was half joking, they just bunk in the same room but that was absolutely in the original. It’s literally the entire premise of the story.

That whole issue was a massive homage to the countless "The first Superman-Batman teamup!" Stories DC had run up until then.

Roy stitching over half a dozen unrelated silver age one offs into on cohesive narrative was peak Bronze Age fanwank.

No I know that, but the original has them sharing the same room without showing how they slept, other than showing they had two beds

Joe Kelly went all out on the Annual to show that they only had one bed and had to share it

Pretty sure in the original there were two beds but it was never a plot point or anything you’re right. There was just the pauseworthy element of them both waiting for the lights to go out to switch into their alter egos.
