But if we're going to talk abuout film Serials, we really have to talk about #Judex.

Judex is a french silent film serial from 1916. It's based on a series of pulp novels, and is basically the template for the modern super hero (Judex informed The Shadow who Directly inspired Bat-Man.)

366 weird movies did a good writeup on the serial: http://366weirdmovies.com/judex-1916/

the entire thing is on Wikimedia, and I started uploading it to Archive.org (I should finish that sometime)
