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

Summary: Superman, vol. 1 2009-01-10
Comment: I like the longer stories better than those in the '69 shorts. What I do not like, is a Superman who has trouble lifting a train. I don't want my boy to grow up thinking that Superman is weaker than Wonder Woman and can't even lift a train. Come on D.C. this is insane. Get some men to write your Superman stories and come out with some good ones. Or better yet, just use these stories but use Superman in them, not just some guy in a red cape.

Summary: Alright for children. 2008-10-15
Comment: I read rave reviews on other websites about this series. I found it to be extremely childish (of course) and the animation is a little stiff. If you have young children who love Superman this is a good choice. If not, stick to the live action films.

Summary: Item is great, a little rough though. 2008-08-05
Comment: The video is great, no problems there. But the amazon seller said it was like new. The case was very worn and had a sticker on it that looked like a kid had put on it. Luckily this is for my little boy to watch and not for a collection or anything or I would have been disappointed.

Summary: Perhaps it was my fault 2008-05-03
Comment: but I only read Superman (my very favorite superhero) and Warner Brothers (come on, they did Bugs Bunny and the Roadrunner) so I jumped and bought not only the first volume but all three of them.
I am disappointed.
DVD Technical quality is very good and the stories are interesting but I cannoy see why Americans ( who practically invented the comic and animated cartoon genres) have to resort to this Japanese drawing style.
In my opinion it is just ugly, do not communicate that American way of life Superman is all about and I just feel uneasy while watching the DVD. This marketing obsession about up-dating classics like Superman takes more out that it puts in.
In short, I did not like this DVD's and will pay a lot more of attention next time I think in buying American icons made outside America. If I had wanted Japanese animation i'd have bought Mazinger adventures.
