9/10
The First Spiritual (and shared universe) Sequel To Batman: The Animated Series!
17 September 2017
Superman: The Animated Series filled the void left by Superman IV: The Quest For Peace and gave what fans of Batman: The Animated Series wanted: a show focusing on The Man of Steel done in the same manner as that of The Dark Knight's masterful series. The 90s may have been a dark age for Superman in the cinema, but in television he was soaring into the stratosphere of awesome. This series launched the wider DC Animated Universe, while Batman: The Animated Series planted the aesthetic foundations for the later shows following its continuity, like Batman Beyond and Justice League.

Superman has never looked better than he does here; the sharp Bruce Timm aesthetic is still eye-poppingly gorgeous to look at, and it's great seeing characters like Green Lantern, Batman, The Flash and Aquaman make appearances. The show is superhero TV done with finesse just like its predecessor Batman. Need I say more? It's also probably THE BEST Superman adaptation to hit screen anywhere and everywhere.
