Bruce Timm created a magnificent television series about the iconic "Man of Steel". He also created Batman: The Animated Series, but that is another story. This great television show premiered in 1996, and ran for three seasons, even though it should have lasted longer. It starred the wonderful voice talents of Tim Daly and Dana Delaney as the main cast, Clancy Brown, Brad Garrett, Lori Petty, Corey Burton and many others as the frequent guest stars. In this volume one DVD set of "Superman: The Animated Series", there is not one episode that is better than another. I did think that there were some that were great and some that were good, but after watching all the episodes again, I have realized that this was a great show, and all the episodes were awesome. While some of the episodes do not have as good of a storyline, cast of characters, or a sequence of high-flying action like the other episodes, this does not matter, because when viewed as a whole series, from beginning to end, and considering the scope and imagination of the entire series' three season run, there is not one episode that is better than any other. Below is a list of episodes contained in this two-disc DVD set.
1. THE LAST SON OF KRYPTON (3-Part Series Pilot)
4. FUN AND GAMES
5. A LITTLE PIECE OF HOME

i give this dvd box sets 1 out 4 I Hate double sided dvds i rather pay an extra 10 dollars Not to have a double sided dvd other than that terrible option through out the set its great if you superman series fan if it was not for the double sided dvd crap i would have gave the rating a 5 or more.
i like looking at the art on the dvd or cd not flip ove the dvd and clean both sides of the coin if it has dust on it and it wont play because of it.

The show itself gets 5 stars; however, beware of the dvd packaging. One of the disks is one of those double sided disks that companies include to save money on a third disk. They are very annoying because both sides contain a data and can easily get scratched.

Superman the Animated series is Similar to the Batman one. All the episodes are enjoyable and the DVD contains commentary on key episodes. This version of Superman is a little different than in the movies. He is a lot weaker in this version and not as strong. I don't like that here in the series Braniac is a Supercomputer from Krypton. I also don't like some parts of the series because Superman fights robots and droids too much. Overall,this is a fun cartoon to watch and a good buy.

The DVD is very nice and must have but what you should now is that if you Superman season one dont buy Superman son of Krepton (included in season one). It is a waste of money! Also if you have Superman season 2 dont buy Superman Batman the movie (included in season 2)!Take care and dont waste your money like I did!At least amazone should mention this if WB dont care!
