DVD Treatment
Much like Batman: The Animated Series and other Warner Brothers
cartoons adapted from popular DC Comic books, Superman was released on
DVD January 25, 2005, though it did not receive the same Disc Transfer
as Batman did (Volume One's second disc was given the Side A/B
treatment, as did Volume Two's and Volume Three's second disc). The DVDs
present the series' episodes in their airing order along with special
features. Volume Two was released on December 6, 2005 and Volume Three
was released on June 20, 2006.

From the creators of Batman: The Animated Series comes DC Comics' polar
opposite: the Man of Steel in Superman: The Animated Series, Volume One.
Like the Dark Knight's series, Superman: The Animated Series is a
successful, modern telling of the classic story. Superman's tale is
already known to most people, enduring as a modern American myth. The
challenge for the producers was how to make something old and familiar
new again. Quite successfully, they managed to modernize the Superman
environment and its characters enough to attract a new audience but also
maintained the integrity of the mythos to satisfy longtime fans. What
lifts Superman: The Animated Series above all past Superman shows is its
high-quality animation, strong dramatic scripts, a star studded cast,
and the creators' willingness to present the show more like a series
than a cartoon. It begins with a three-part episode ("The Last Son of
Krypton") chronicling the last days of Krypton, the introduction of
Braniac, Kal-El's trip to Earth, his development into Superman, and
finally his introduction to the world. These three episodes lay the
foundation for the next 15 adventures that follow, including
confrontations with rivals Lex Luthor, Metallo, Braniac, the bizarre
Lobo, and others. For fans of Superman, DC Comics, superheroes, the
comic genre, and action tales in general, Superman: The Animated Series
is not to be missed. --Rob Bracco

Trivia #
Clancy Brown, who provided the voice of Lex Luthor, originally
auditioned for the lead role of Superman / Clark Kent, but when Bruce
Timm heard his audition, he immediately offered Brown the part of Luthor.
# Corey Burton's voice for Brainiac was done in the same cold,
low-affect style as HAL 9000 in the Space Odyssey films.
# Real-life married couple Mike Farrell and Shelley Fabares voice
Jonathan and Martha Kent.
# Adam Baldwin was considered for the role of Superman/Clark Kent, but
he ultimately proved unavailable, so the part went to Tim Daly instead.
Baldwin later voiced Superman/Clark Kent for Superman: Doomsday (2007). |
