good back-story, and good acting

The acting in this movie is really good.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is a good but not great incarnation of Superman. The biggest issue with it being that Superman has been taken down many, many, pegs, so that he is much less 'super' than we have come to know him. Everyone seems to challenge him physically. On the other hand, the handful of episodes where Superman has no physical challenge are some of the best and most faithful adaptations you will find in animation or film.Too many of the villains challenge Superman physically. It seems like every member of Intergang has a laser that can hurt him, every villain, even at one point a wind up boxing kangaroo (Toyman) can challenge Superman physically. It's way too much. Of the 54 episodes in this series, I'd say a good 40+ of them involve Superman going toe for toe with the villain. It's redundant.One of the ways this series succeeds is Lois Lane. This is the strongest, best female role model, and most interesting version of the character I can name. She seems like someone that anyone would be attracted to. She's a version that seems like a good reporter and not someone who Superman is attracted to for no reason.Watching this series I would rank the top villains as Lex Luthor, Darkseid, Metallo, Mxyzptlk, and Bizarro as the top 5, in that order. The rest being fairly boring because they are somewhat redundant. They have different powers for sure but most of them overlap in that they are a physical challenge for Superman and that is something the show does over and over again.On that note, this incarnation of Brainiac was disappointing. He's depicted as a robot from Krypton who seeks to know and then destroy the universe. He seems to have an unexplained grudge against Superman, because in this show they are both from Krypton. He's too much of a brute and less of a brain in this show. This is a show that has too many brutes and not enough brains. Brainiac should have been one of the most intelligent, but he isn't shown as one.Top episodes are: - Mxyzpixilated (S2E08) - Bizarro's World (S2E20) - The Late Mr. Kent (S2E22) - Apokolips... Now! (S2E25-26) - Knight Time (S3E02) - Little Big Head Man (S3E05)All the Batman crossover episodes are good highlights as well.

Superman The Animated Series is without a doubt my favorite version of Superman. I do enjoy the first Superman movie by Richard Donnor. However, this is the Superman that I grew up with. I grew up watching this series along with Batman TAS and Justice League when they aired on Cartoon Network. So, no matter what I will always love this series the most. It is not quite as good Batman TAS but it is still a great series.Tim Daly, in my opinion, is Superman. I thought he nailed the character of Superman the same way Kevin Conroy nailed Batman in Batman TAS. He has as much charm and charisma as Superman and Clark Kent as Christopher Reeves did in my opinion. I am a fan of Tim Daly as an actor. I like his performance as Superman in this and in some of the DC animated movies where he voiced Superman like Superman/Batman Public Enemies, Justice League Doom, etc. I also like him in other works like Storm of the Century.Dana Delaney plays a good Lois Lane. I like Margot Kidder a little better, but Delaney is still enjoyable as the character. Clancy Brown does a very intimidating Lex Luthor. Brown is my second favorite on-screen Lex Luthor behind Michael Rosenbaum. The other characters like Jimmy Olsen or Perry were fine as well. I thought the voice actors did a fine job.I even liked Lana Lang in this series, which is a big surprise. In every other Superman continuity that I have seen, Lana has always irked me. I did not like her in the two minutes of screen time that she had in the first Superman movie, Superman 3, and I definitely did not like her in Smallville. However I did really like her here. She is much less whiny and bland in this. Plus she is very pretty. In fact I think she is even prettier than Lois.The villains are great and a lot of fun. Some of the villain's stories are different from the comics like Brainiac, but that does not bother me so much. I am not too familiar with the comics. I was introduced to these villains through this series. My favorite of the villains are Lex Luthor (of course), Brainiac, and especially Darkseid. Michael Ironside played Darkseid to a tee. Out of all the incarnations of Darkseid that I have seen put to screen, this version is the best by leaps and bounds.The animation is pretty good. It is not as great as Batman TAS, but above average. The action is also fun to watch. This show is made by the same team who did Batman TAS. This show is not quite as good as that series as that show, which I stated earlier. This show is also more light-hearted which some people may have a problem with. However Superman in general is more light-hearted than Batman, so it does not bother me. This series can be quite dark when it wants to be though.One thing I do not like, however, is how much they depower Superman in both this series and in Justice League. I get that they did it to make the story work. Writing a story around such a powerful character like Superman can be very challenging. However, it still gets on my nerves. There are many times where Superman gets beat or outsmarted by people he should be able to easily beat for the sake of the plot and it irks me. Superman comes off as a pussy sometimes because of this.Overall, Superman TAS is, in my opinion, the best version of Superman to hit the silver screen. I think it is criminal that this series is so underrated. If you are a Superman fan then definitely give this a look.

So far for the most part any movie featuring the man of steel have missed the mark. If one were to gather their knowledge of Superman from these movies they will deduce that Superman's main villains were Lex Luther, Zod, Nuclear Man and Richard Pryor. One also gets the sense that he is kind of a dweeb and the type of guy who when he gets a female pregnant he bolts the planet. Well this animated series was great as it featured a vast assortment of villains, great voice work by Tim Daly, and had interesting stories. I enjoyed watching this incarnation of Superman as he was actually Superman without being indestructible unbeatable man like he has been portrayed at times. So what you are not going to see in this film is a lot of time spent back in Smallville growing up, a crusade to stop nuclear missiles, strange comedy, and yet another scheme by Lex involving real estate. No here you will see him lose a good friend to the cold Darkseid, help the Green Lantern take on the villainous Sinistro, and battle schemes by Lex involving him creating a cyborg man with kryptonite in his chest named Metallo. So suffice to say this series was a lot of fun and a lot better than nearly everything in the movies. The best thing the movies did was introducing Zod.

When you are watching this series you are feeling Superman is one of the greatest heroes in comics history. This series contains every details about Superman history. The history of his planet Kripton are the first three episodes of the season. You will learn about his weakness, his enemies and his friends through the episodes.Later in series you will see Superman teaming with another greats superheroes like Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and more. The episodes of Superman and Batman are excellent because are mixing enemies from both series. I recommend to watch Word's Finest episodes.Lex Luthor is the main enemy of Superman but you will see in action more enemies like Metallo, Darkseid, Braniac, Joker and more. I like this series because Superman appear like he can be beaten. He have all the magnificent powers but the enemies are smart and they can destroy Superman if they want it. This make suspense in the series.This is a very short series compared with Batman animated show. But every episodes are great and you don't wanna miss any one of them.I recommend this series.
