Superman: The Animated Series is an American superhero animated television serial based on the DC Comics character Superman. ^[1] It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and originally aired on Kids' WB from September half dozen, 1996 to February 12, 2000. Information technology was the second serial in the DC Animated Universe after Batman: The Blithe Series , and was acclaimed for the thematic complication, quality animation and writing, faithfulness to the source material, voice interim, maturity and modernization of the title character's comic-volume mythos. ^{[ii] [3]}

Overview [ edit ]

Premiering ten years later on the 1986 reboot of the Superman comic-book character, the blithe series paid tribute to both the classic Superman of old and the newer "modern" Superman. ^[iv] For example, the depiction of Krypton reflects the older idealized version in the Silverish Historic period of Comic Books. The scope of Superman'south powers reflects the more than restrained contemporary concept as developed past John Byrne, in that the superhero has to struggle to perform spectacular feats. However, Clark Kent is shown to be open, if quietly, self-confident, without jeopardizing his secrets. This is similar to the depiction of Batman's alter-ego, Bruce Wayne, in Batman: The Animated Series.

Midway through the series' run, it was combined with The New Batman Adventures to go The New Batman/Superman Adventures . The characters of Superman and Batman were and so spun off into a new animated series, Justice League . This series as well featured other popular DC Comics characters, including Wonder Adult female, The Flash, Greenish Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Hawkgirl. It spawned a sequel series entitled Justice League Unlimited .

Several episodes involve Superman encountering other superheroes in the DC universe. Batman appears the nigh often, along with several of his allies and antagonists from The New Batman Adventures, including The Joker, Robin, Alfred Pennyworth, Harley Quinn, Blight, Commissioner Gordon, and Ra's al Ghul, amid others. In addition, other episodes feature The Wink (alongside the Weather Wizard), Dark-green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) (with Sinestro and the Light-green Lantern Corps), Aquaman, and Doctor Fate (forth with his wife Inza and Karkull).

Development and production [ edit ]

In the time between the initial finish of Batman, Steven Spielberg approached Bruce Timm near his admiration for his previous prove while being curious about an take chances cartoon. Spielberg asked Timm and his crew to come up with concepts for him to expect at (i of these ideas eventually sprung into Freakazoid! , which involved a crazed superhero, although Timm had aimed for a straightforward hero show rather than overt comedy). At any rate, Warner Bros was anticipating a feature film of Superman and thus wanted to make a goggle box serial to go alongside it, which led Jean MacCurdy to approach Timm most the idea of doing a serial on Superman, which he agreed to. ^{[5] [vi]} Initially, Timm struggled with finding the visual fashion, to the point where he thought of trying to aim for a retro feel similar to the Fleischer Studios Superman-cartoon (equally his prior Batman serial had touches of inspiration from said studio). An original character design canvass showed the characters in a stylized 1940s/1950s fashion (not different that of the live-action Adventures of Superman TV series); nevertheless, Timm decided that he could not compete against the "perfection" of the past, although he would utilize influence from archetype deco, which he described as "bright, futuristic, optimistic, bounding main liner art deco...much more in line with Superman's character." ^{[seven] [8]} As with the kickoff flavor of Batman, the opening theme sequence of Superman lacked an on-screen title. Also like Batman, the opening theme for Superman lacked any lyrics, instead of being an instrumental piece played over various scenes from the series. The character design for the title character was inspired non past ane of the comics only instead The Mighty Hercules (1963) with the pattern of the title character. ^[9]

Koko Enterprise Co., LTD., TMS-Kyokuchi Corporation, Dong Yang Animation Co., LTD and Group TAC contributed some of the animation for this series. During the series, Timm and his crew began using TMS-Kyokuchi Corporation as an outsourced pre-product unit of measurement as well as an animation unit, and TMS storyboarded and directed episodes themselves. ^[10] TMS also did the digital blackness pigsty effects in the episode "Absolute Power," although Koko and Dong Yang did the groundwork and character animation. Similar the previous shows, the animation on the series was washed in traditional cels. The latter serial Batman Beyond used cel animation in the commencement 26 episodes, it was then switched to digital ink and paint in the second one-half of season two.

One noticeable aspect of the series carried over from Byrne's work was Superman's powers were significantly downplayed compared to his comic book counterpart. Whereas in the comic he could lift millions or billions of tons effortlessly, this version struggled lifting trucks, structure equipment, roadways, etc. The writers admit that he was made as strong equally the story permitted. His durability was too considerably less than while bullets bounced off him, heavier ordnance like high caliber bullets, cannons, and missiles acquired him pain or discomfort (merely it is often due just to the recoil, such weapons are still rather inefficient, but slowing him down). He's also recurrently shown being sensitive to electricity, high-voltage electrical currents being able to cause him a corking bargain of pain (for this reason, Livewire is one of his almost formidable enemies in this animated serial), and in one episode lasers proved capable of blinding him temporarily. Despite this greatly reduced immovability, he'south very rarely shown injured or bleeding. His lung capacity seems also quite express since he needs special equipment to go underwater or in outer infinite.

In addition, the ship that carries the infant Kal-El to Earth is designed to have a airplane pilot, and the autopilot used instead was programmed to land smoothly upon reaching its destination. This was done and so that the ship is in perfect working condition during Superman'south adulthood and could be used as his mode of long-range transportation in space.

Season ii was originally scheduled to run 26 episodes, but it was extended to 28 episodes in club to accommodate a ii-office story introducing Supergirl ^{[ disambiguation needed ]}. ^[11]

While the series adapts many villains from Superman'southward rogues gallery in the comics, the chief antagonists that he faces throughout the show and the DCAU continuity as a whole are Lex Luthor, Brainiac and Darkseid.

In the series, the writers decided to alter Brainiac'due south origin by making him an artificial intelligence supercomputer from Krypton, instead of the planet Colu like the comics, to give him a more than personal rivalry with Superman. While the producers of the prove constitute Brainiac's character and abilities interesting in the comics, they disliked his original design and so they drastically altered his appearance; his green artificial pare was replaced with an icy-blueish coloration, and the remainder of his outfit became a mix of imperial and grey rather than pink and blackness. Corey Burton's vocal functioning equally Brainiac was done in a cold, low-touch on style like to HAL 9000 in the Space Odyssey films and the 'Command Voice' heard during the opening narration of The Outer Limits . ^[12]

To pay tribute to Jack Kirby's Quaternary Earth creations, the prove introduced the New God Darkseid as Superman'southward archenemy. In contrast to the grapheme's less than faithful adaptations in Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show and The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians in the 1980s, Superman: The Animated Series portrays Darkseid equally the evil and omnipotent catholic dictator originally envisioned past Kirby in the comics. Michael Ironside'south vocal functioning was initially lowered for Darkseid's first 2 appearances in the series, though this modulation was later dropped in favor of Ironside's natural vocalisation. The character is notable for being the only villain the DCAU's version of Superman is willing to kill, and Darkseid's actions in the series finale in addition to their rivalry become a recurring staple throughout subsequent spin-off shows.

Comic adaptation [ edit ]

As with the majority of shows in DC animated universe, Superman: The Animated Serial received a comic accommodation taking place in the same universe, that ran from 1996 to 2002, with 68 issues, an annual and a special consequence featuring Lobo. Paul Dini wrote the starting time result of the series, followed by Scott McCloud, Marking Millar and Evan Dorkin. Among the artists that contributed to the series are Ty Templeton, Rick Burchett, Mike Manley, Aluir Amancio, Min S.Ku and Neil Vokes.

The mourners attending Dan Turpin's funeral in the edited version.

Contradistinct sequence in "Apokolips...At present! Part II" [ edit ]

"Apokolips...At present! Part 2" was later altered from its original airing on February seven, 1998. Originally the Dan Turpin funeral at the episode's end was a truthful homage to belatedly New Gods creator Jack Kirby and featured several of his comic creations as attendees to the funeral including Nick Fury, the Fantastic Four, Large Barda, Scott Free, Orion and others, alongside Kirby'south friends and fans Mark Evanier, Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Alex Ross, his father Norman Ross and Stan Lee. These characters and persons were afterwards removed and the scene pacing was re-edited for subsequent airings and its DVD release on Superman: The Animated Serial Volume 3 Disc iii. The original sketches for this scene tin can be found at Michael Eury's book The Krypton Companion published past TwoMorrow'southward Publishing (ISBN1-893905-61-half dozen). Neither DC nor Warner ever commented on the decision to modify this particular scene, but it has been speculated that copyright issues regarding the use of the likenesses of Marvel Comics characters and the long-time rivalry betwixt the two companies might have motivated the deletion. On March 17, 2022, Superman: The Animated Series was made available in high-definition on the streaming service HBO Max. They used the original broadcast version of this episode, reinstating the original mourners at Dan Turpin's funeral. The original version likewise made it to the official Blu-ray set up later that same yr.

Music [ edit ]

As with Batman: The Animated Series, Shirley Walker was in accuse of the series' music. Walker wrote the serial theme and equanimous themes for various characters, too as scoring half-dozen episodes herself – "Begetter's Solar day," "The Hand of Fate," "Obsession," "Absolute Power" and the two-parter "Legacy." Unlike the previous series, simply 4 other composers worked on the serial – Kristopher Carter, Harvey R. Cohen, Michael McCuistion, and Lolita Ritmanis. Well-nigh every episode had a completely original score; very few reused music from previous shows, and only ane episode ("Superman'southward Pal," credited to Carter, McCuistion, Ritmanis, and Walker) was entirely "scored" with tracked material. ^[xviii]

On January 28, 2014, La-La Land Records released a 4-disc compilation of music from the series, collecting 20 complete episode scores, including those of the "World's Finest" three-parter, the "Apokolips... Now!" two-parter, the "Niggling Girl Lost" two-parter and "In Brightest Twenty-four hours...". Information technology is a limited edition release of 3000 units and can be purchased through the label's website. ^[19]

If sales of this release improve significantly, La-La Land Records will produce a second book. ^[xx]
