Superman: The Animated Series

Superman: The Animated Series is the unofficial title given to Warner Bros.' TV animated series of the late 1990s. The official title of the series was simply Superman, and (as the title suggests) it starred the fictional character of Superman. Warner Bros. applied the same "more modern, more serious" animated treatment to DC Comics' flagship character in the same way they had successfully produced Batman: The Animated Series. The result was a cartoon praised by comic book and animation fans, and seen by some as one of the best adaptations of Superman ever.

After the series reached episode number 65 and began syndication, it was combined with repeats of the Batman animated series. The characters of Superman and Batman were then spun off into a new animated series, Justice League, which featured other popular DC characters as well.
