Arriving after the blockbuster success of Batman: The Animated Series, Superman features the same core creative team of Alan Burnett, Paul Dini, and Bruce Timm, who work their magic on the Last Son of Krypton, creating a modernized version of Superman who is quick-witted and serious when necessary. The series also beefs up the Man of Steel’s rogues gallery, with Lex Luthor, Toyman, Metallo, and Darkseid all proving to be formidable antagonists.
If you’re looking for a deal, you’ll want to pick up the DVD box set, which contains all 54 episodes. The series is also available on Blu-ray, but isn’t on sale. The DVD version is obviously a lower resolution and has a pared-down special features list compared to the Blu-ray version, with just a retrospective on Superman’s most dangerous adversary, Darkseid.
