Product Description
From Amazon.com
From the creators of Batman: The Animated Series comes DC Comics' polar opposite: the Man of Steel in Superman: The Animated Series, Volume One. Like the Dark Knight's series, Superman: The Animated Series is a successful, modern telling of the classic story. Superman's tale is already known to most people, enduring as a modern American myth. The challenge for the producers was how to make something old and familiar new again. Quite successfully, they managed to modernize the Superman environment and its characters enough to attract a new audience but also maintained the integrity of the mythos to satisfy longtime fans. What lifts Superman: The Animated Series above all past Superman shows is its high-quality animation, strong dramatic scripts, a star studded cast, and the creators' willingness to present the show more like a series than a cartoon. It begins with a three-part episode ("The Last Son of Krypton") chronicling the last days of Krypton, the introduction of Braniac, Kal-El's trip to Earth, his development into Superman, and finally his introduction to the world. These three episodes lay the foundation for the next 15 adventures that follow, including confrontations with rivals Lex Luthor, Metallo, Braniac, the bizarre Lobo, and others. For fans of Superman, DC Comics, superheroes, the comic genre, and action tales in general, Superman: The Animated Series is not to be missed. --Rob Bracco

Awesome,
This review is from: Superman: The Animated Series (Volume 1) (DVD)
This is a great series. This rendition of superman is by far my favourite. Great action, voice acting and stories. I was surprisingly impressed with it. Two thumbs up.

Amazing; Worth the buy!,
This review is from: Superman: The Animated Series (Volume 1) (DVD)
the show is awesome and the only complaint is that they have so far only released this one collection; there are 18 on these disks, and the show apparently had a total of 54! I didn't know how I'd feel, and I've never felt any need to fill out a review like this before. The show is great. I can only hope they release ALL OTHER EPISODES SOON!!!The shows are en masse in a boxed set, not just a few episodes in a plastic case, so it's environmentally friendly (in keeping with Superman as too good to be true). The design of the show keeps the humanity of the characters while balancing iconic myth-making with a sort of whimsical fun in a way that I find incredible; I had no idea mainstream stuff could be this well done or this much fun. I've watched them over again; ok, you don't know how I normally watch films, but that's a good thing. (now if only they'd release the Justice League episodes in the same full-season format as this and Batman, rather than in single-shot episodes, I'd be extremely pleased with WB :). so yeah, Superman good, really really good.
