How did I miss this as a kid? Supposedly is made by the same folks as Batman:TAS but I never even knew it was a thing. I started to watch episodes on HBO max and it's just as good as the batman series.

Why does no one talk about it or am I just late as hell and out of the loop?

I've been catching an episode or 2 before bed. It's pretty dope.

I knew about it but I was watching other things at the time. So I never got into it, but it also seemed kind of bland in comparison to the batman cartoons. Plus darkseid doesn't make a full appearance until l season 2.

Batman: TAS gets all the credit for starting the Timmverse

Superman: TAS should get more credit for opening it up

It really took the established universe to the next level
Flash, GL, Darkseid, brainiac/luthor, Dr.Fate
Aquaman, Emil Hamilton and the general idea of Cadmus All Debuted on Superman.


Without the success of Superman: TAS.....No Justice league show would've happened

Pretty sure I didn’t fuxk with it when it aired. Always a Batstan. May have seen the crossover, but that’s it. Ended up picking up the DVDs as an adult. Wonder why this hasn’t received the blu ray transfer.

Isn't that the first animated appearance of The Main Man?

BTAS redefined a bunch of Batman villains. It singlehandedly made Mr Freeze cool and Harley Quinn iconic.

Superman was good, solid stories but outside of Brainiac I can’t think of a way it defined the Superman mythos.
