Overview

Premiering ten years after the 1986rebootof the Superman comic-book character, the animated series paid tribute to both the classic Superman of old and the newer "modern" Superman.For instance, the depiction ofKryptonreflects the older idealized version in theSilver Age of Comic Books.The scope of Superman's powers reflects the more restrained contemporary concept as developed byJohn Byrne,in that the superhero has to struggle to perform spectacular feats. However, Clark Kent is shown to be open, if quietly, self-confident, without jeopardizing his secrets. This is similar to the depiction ofBatman's alter-ego, Bruce Wayne, inBatman: The Animated Series.

Midway through the series' run, it was combined withThe New Batman Adventuresto become the package seriesThe New Batman/Superman Adventures.The characters of Superman and Batman were then spun off into a new animated series,Justice League.This series also featured other popular DC Comics characters, includingWonder Woman,The Flash,Green Lantern,Martian Manhunter,andHawkgirl.It spawned a sequel series entitledJustice League Unlimited.

Several episodes involve Superman encountering other superheroes in the DC universe. Batman appears the most often, along with several of his allies and antagonists fromThe New Batman Adventures,including theJoker,Robin,Alfred Pennyworth,Harley Quinn,Bane,Commissioner Gordon,andRa's al Ghul,among others. In addition, other episodes featureThe Flash(alongsideWeather Wizard),Green Lantern(Kyle Rayner) (withSinestroand theGreen Lantern Corps),Aquaman,andDoctor Fate(along with his wifeInzaandKarkull).

Development and production

In the time between the initial end ofBatman,Steven SpielbergapproachedBruce Timmabout his admiration for his previous show while being curious about an adventure cartoon. Spielberg asked Timm and his crew to come up with concepts for him to look at (one of these ideas eventually sprung intoFreakazoid!,which involved a crazed superhero, although Timm had aimed for a straightforward hero show rather than overt comedy). At any rate,Warner Broswas anticipating a feature film ofSupermanand thus wanted to make a television series to go alongside it, which ledJean MacCurdyto approach Timm about the idea of doing a series on Superman, which he agreed to.Initially, Timm struggled with finding the visual style, to the point where he thought of trying to aim for a retro feel similar to theFleischer StudiosSupermancartoons.An original character design sheet showed the characters in a stylized 1940s/1950s style (not unlike that of the live-actionAdventures of SupermanTV series); however, Timm decided that he could not compete against the "perfection" of the past, although he would utilize influence from classic deco, which he described as "bright, futuristic, optimistic, ocean liner art deco...much more in line with Superman's character."As with the first season ofBatman,the opening theme sequence ofSupermanlacked an on-screen title. Also likeBatman,the opening theme forSupermanlacked any lyrics, instead of being an instrumental piece played over various scenes from the series. The character design for the title character was inspired not by one of the comics but insteadThe Mighty Hercules(1963) with the design of the title character.DC asked Timm to give Superman amullet,but he refused.

Koko Enterprise Co., LTD.,Kyokuchi Tokyo Movie,Dong Yang Animation Co., LTDandGroup TACcontributed some of the animation for this series. Like the previous shows, the animation on the series was done intraditional cels.

Season two was originally scheduled to run 26 episodes, but it was extended to 28 episodes to accommodate a two-part story introducingSupergirl.

While the series adapts many villains from Superman'srogues galleryin the comics, the primaryantagoniststhat he faces throughout the show and the DCAU continuity as a whole areLex Luthor,BrainiacandDarkseid.Luthor's design was based on actorTelly Savalas.

In the series, the writers decided to alter Brainiac's origin by making him a Kryptonianartificial intelligenceinstead of an alien to give him a more personal rivalry with Superman. While the producers of the show found Brainiac's character and abilities interesting in the comics, they disliked his original design so they drastically altered his appearance; his green skin was replaced with an icy-blue coloration, and the rest of his outfit became a mix of purple and grey rather than pink and black.Corey Burton's vocal performance as Brainiac was done in a cold,low-affectstyle similar toHAL 9000in theSpace Odysseyfilms and the 'Control Voice' heard during the opening narration ofThe Outer Limits.Before being cast as Brainiac, Burton also read for the parts of Superman and Lex Luthor.Clancy Brown also read for Superman before being cast as Luthor.

To pay tribute toJack Kirby's Fourth Worldcreations, the show introduced theNew GodDarkseid as Superman's archenemy. In contrast to the character's less faithful adaptations inSuper Friends,Superman: The Animated Seriesportrays Darkseid as the evil dictator originally envisioned by Kirby in the comics.Michael Ironside's vocal performance was initially lowered for Darkseid's first two appearances in the series, though this modulation was later dropped in favor of Ironside's natural voice.

Comic adaptation

Main article:Superman Adventures

As with the majority of shows in theDC Animated Universe,Superman: The Animated Seriesreceived acomic adaptation taking place in the same universe,that ran from 1996 to 2002, with 68 issues, an annual and a special issue featuring Lobo.

Altered sequence in "Apokolips...Now! Part II"

The mourners attending Dan Turpin's funeral in the edited version.

"Apokolips...Now!" was later altered from its original airing on February 7, 1998. Originally,Dan Turpin's funeral was a homage toJack Kirbyand featured several of his comic creations as attendees to the funeral includingNick Fury,theFantastic Four,Big Barda,Scott Free,Orionand others, alongside Kirby's friends and fansMark Evanier,Bruce Timm,Paul Dini,Alex Ross,his father Norman Ross, andStan Lee.These characters were later removed and the scene pacing was re-edited for subsequent airings and its DVD release onSuperman: The Animated SeriesVolume 3 Disc 3. Neither DC nor Warner ever commented on the decision to alter this particular scene, but it has been speculated that copyright issues regarding the use of the likenesses ofMarvel Comicscharacters and the long-time rivalry between the two companies might have motivated the deletion. WhenSuperman: The Animated Serieswas released onHBO MaxandBlu-rayin 2021, the original version was used.

Music

As withBatman: The Animated Series,Shirley Walkerwas in charge of the series' music. Walker wrote the series theme and composed themes for various characters, as well as scoring six episodes herself – "Father's Day," "The Hand of Fate," "Obsession," "Absolute Power" and the two-parter "Legacy." Unlike the previous series, only four other composers worked on the series –Kristopher Carter,Harvey R. Cohen, Michael McCuistion, andLolita Ritmanis.Almost every episode had a completely original score; very few reused music from previous shows, and only one episode ( "Superman's Pal," credited to Carter, McCuistion, Ritmanis, and Walker) was entirely "scored" with tracked material.

On January 28, 2014, La-La Land Records released a 4-disc compilation of music from the series, collecting 20 complete episode scores, including those of the "World's Finest" three-parter, the "Apokolips... Now!" two-parter, the "Little Girl Lost" two-parter and "In Brightest Day...". It is a limited edition release of 3000 units and can be purchased through the label's website.

If sales of this release improve significantly, La-La Land Records will produce a second volume.
