- More Great Superman Animation
I loved these as a kid and can't wait to revist these adventures!
This will be a great addition to an animated collection to join the ranks of the Cartoons from the 40's and the great series from the 90's! I know they've had to take out the Superboy cartoons that originally ran with it (probably due to conflicts WB currently has over the rights to the 'Superboy' name) but regardless this will be great to for years to come!

- New Adventures of Superman
The plans for New Adventures of Superman disappoint me a lot. The Superboy cartoons from the original show have been left out altogether, according to the latest online news I've read.
As well as that, they'll only include the 36 Superman cartoons from the first 18 episodes (ie first season) of New Adventures of Superman.
Another 8 episodes (with 16 Superman cartoons and 8 Superboy cartoons) were produced in 1967 for the Superman Aquaman Hour of Adventure. (I'd hoped for years to see all of that released in full).
A further 8 two-part Superman stories and 8 more accompanying Superboy stories were produced for the Batman Superman Hour in 1968. (I'd like very much to see all that released in full, making the following complete: Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Superboy, and Aquaman's guest star spots of Justice League, Teen Titans, Atom, Hawkman, Green Lantern, Flash).
The Shazam live action series is another long awaited DC character I'd love to see released in full.
I'd also like to see the other seasons of Superfriends & Super Powers Team too. We got two sets two years ago, which I enjoyed a lot, leaving me keen to see the many other incarnations of the show:
Superfriends (1973 one hour stories)
All-New Superfriends Hour (1976; four stories with Wondertwins, guest stars, whole team, team-ups)
World's Greatest Superfriends (1980)
Superfriends (1981-83 six min shorts; 3 per show; 3 seasons)
Superfriends: Legendary Super Powers Show (1984)
Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians (1985)
