Superman The Animated Series


[ Cool Superman Intro ]

Written by Kal-El

Superman: The Animated Series is the name of a Warner Bros.' The animated series that ran from 1996 to 2000. Airing ten years after the 1986 reboot of the Superman comic book character, the animated series paid tribute to both the classic Superman of old and the newer "modern" Superman.

Perhaps most significantly, Clark Kent displays the more aggressive personality used by John Byrne in his reboot of the comic book continuity. Elements of Superman from all eras of his history were included in the series, especially in a portrayal of the planet Krypton.

Notably, the evil computer Brainiac was not only now from Krypton, but was portrayed as responsible for preventing the knowledge of Krypton's imminent destruction from reaching its people. In a lesser innovation, the ship that carried the infant Kal-El to Earth was designed to land smoothly upon reaching its destination, rendering it in perfect working condition during Superman's adulthood and is used as his mode of long range transportation in space. The "new" Lex Luthor featured prominently in the series as well, menacingly voiced by actor Clancy Brown. Superman was voiced by Tim Daly.

Midway through the series' run, it was combined with episodes of The New Batman Adventures to become The New Batman/Superman Adventures. The characters of Superman and Batman were then spun off into a new animated series, Justice League, which also featured other popular DC characters, such as Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Green Lantern , Martian Man Hunter and the Flash.

We've all been there to watch one of the greatest stories told from time to time, why not just watch it again. Thanks Ethan for the great downloads, Your really Super Dude!!
