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.
