Amazon.com: Superman: The Animated Series, Volume Three, would sadly be the final run of this great animated series before getting cancelled. In this season the show was beginning to take on a daring new direction, which some might say was more grim (like the episode "Unity") and a bit darker than past Superman incarnations. The stories were also becoming more challenging and interesting, ending with Superman and Lois Lane locking lips. But the change to the formula was definitely an asset to the series giving Superman yet another modern facelift. The most notable change was the addition of the super villains from Jack Kirby's Fourth World. Since Superman was such a "superhero" it was really tough to find villains to fight him on an equal playing field. Kirby's Darkseid and Planet of the Apokolips characters provided some cool villains that could compete with Superman punch for punch, adding a mysterious, dark element to the Superman mythos. These characters make up some of the best episodes of the season including the great two part episodes "Apokolips Now!," "Little Girl Lost" and " the series finale "Legacy." Other notable changes were the inclusion of some superguest stars such as Aquaman and Green Lantern, as well as the introduction of Supergirl to the series. --Rob Bracco Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - The Best for LastI don't have much to add to the solid reviews already provided here, other than to add another voice to the chorus saying that it's a shame that Superman: The Animated Series ended when it did. On the upside, it ends with some of the strongest episodes of it's run - making the Man of Steel and his world much more interesting and dangerous than it had been before. Not quite as consistently good as the various incarnations of Batman by these producers, I would argue that Superman's best ...

Superman as Batman - A Knight's Tale was excellent. Worth completing the Superman series and adding to the Batman Animated Series. Rating: - Superman Vol. 3This is a fantastic dvd which nicely rounds out the Superman storyline given to us from producer Bruce Timm. It is a must have for all Superman fans, and a staple for the DC animated universe. Rating: - An above average children's showI watched the animated BATMAN with my daughter when she was a small child, when it was coming out for the first time. I recently watched the Justice League cartoons that were done by largely the same people. I should have watched SUPERMAN before watching JUSTICE LEAGUE and JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED, and so should you if you haven't seen them all yet. SUPERMAN, like BATMAN, is not at all a bad show. It is, in fact, a very decent one. The problem is that the Justice League shows are extraordinary ...

Seeing this before watching the Justice League Animated series will answer a lot of questions new viewers might have about some of the decisions that Superman makes and the world around him.
