Superman: The Animated Serial is an American superhero blithe television series based on the DC Comics character Superman. ^[1] Information technology was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and originally aired on Kids' WB from September 6, 1996 to Feb 12, 2000. It was the second series in the DC Animated Universe later on Batman: The Blithe Series , and was acclaimed for the thematic complexity, quality animation and writing, faithfulness to the source material, voice acting, maturity and modernization of the title grapheme's comic-book mythos. ^{[ii] [iii]}

Overview [ edit ]

Premiering 10 years subsequently the 1986 reboot of the Superman comic-book character, the blithe series paid tribute to both the classic Superman of quondam and the newer "modern" Superman. ^[4] For instance, the depiction of Krypton reflects the older idealized version in the Silver Age of Comic Books. The scope of Superman's powers reflects the more restrained gimmicky concept as developed by John Byrne, in that the superhero has to struggle to perform spectacular feats. Nonetheless, Clark Kent is shown to be open, if quietly, self-confident, without jeopardizing his secrets. This is similar to the delineation of Batman's change-ego, Bruce Wayne, in Batman: The Animated Series.

Midway through the series' run, it was combined with The New Batman Adventures to become The 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, including Wonder Adult female, The Wink, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Hawkgirl. Information technology spawned a sequel series entitled Justice League Unlimited .

Several episodes involve Superman encountering other superheroes in the DC universe. Batman appears the almost often, along with several of his allies and antagonists from The New Batman Adventures, including The Joker, Robin, Alfred Pennyworth, Harley Quinn, Bane, Commissioner Gordon, and Ra's al Ghul, amidst others. In addition, other episodes feature The Flash (aslope the Weather Wizard), Greenish Lantern (Kyle Rayner) (with Sinestro and the Dark-green Lantern Corps), Aquaman, and Md Fate (along with his married woman Inza and Karkull).

Evolution and production [ edit ]

In the time between the initial end of Batman, Steven Spielberg approached Bruce Timm nearly his admiration for his previous show while beingness curious about an adventure drawing. Spielberg asked Timm and his crew to come up up with concepts for him to look at (one of these ideas somewhen sprung into Freakazoid! , which involved a crazed superhero, although Timm had aimed for a straightforward hero prove rather than overt comedy). At any rate, Warner Bros was anticipating a feature film of Superman and thus wanted to make a television series to go aslope information technology, which led Jean MacCurdy to arroyo Timm about the idea of doing a serial on Superman, which he agreed to. ^{[v] [6]} Initially, Timm struggled with finding the visual way, to the bespeak where he thought of trying to aim for a retro feel similar to the Fleischer Studios Superman-cartoon (every bit his prior Batman serial had touches of inspiration from said studio). An original character design sheet showed the characters in a stylized 1940s/1950s mode (not unlike that of the live-action Adventures of Superman Television receiver series); notwithstanding, Timm decided that he could not compete against the "perfection" of the past, although he would utilize influence from classic deco, which he described equally "bright, futuristic, optimistic, ocean liner art deco...much more in line with Superman's character." ^{[seven] [8]} As with the first flavour of Batman, the opening theme sequence of Superman lacked an on-screen championship. Also like Batman, the opening theme for Superman lacked whatever lyrics, instead of being an instrumental piece played over diverse scenes from the serial. The character blueprint for the title character was inspired not by one of the comics but instead The Mighty Hercules (1963) with the pattern of the title grapheme. ^[ix]

Koko Enterprise Co., LTD., TMS-Kyokuchi Corporation, Dong Yang Animation Co., LTD and Grouping TAC contributed some of the animation for this series. During the serial, Timm and his crew began using TMS-Kyokuchi Corporation every bit an outsourced pre-production unit every bit well every bit an animation unit, and TMS storyboarded and directed episodes themselves. ^[ten] TMS also did the digital black hole effects in the episode "Absolute Ability," although Koko and Dong Yang did the groundwork and grapheme blitheness. Like the previous shows, the blitheness on the series was done in traditional cels. The latter series Batman Across used cel animation in the first 26 episodes, it was then switched to digital ink and pigment in the second half of flavour 2.

Ane noticeable attribute of the series carried over from Byrne'due south work was Superman's powers were significantly downplayed compared to his comic book analogue. Whereas in the comic he could elevator millions or billions of tons effortlessly, this version struggled lifting trucks, structure equipment, roadways, etc. The writers acknowledge that he was made as stiff as the story permitted. His durability was also considerably less than while bullets bounced off him, heavier ordnance like high caliber bullets, cannons, and missiles acquired him pain or discomfort (only information technology is ofttimes due only to the recoil, such weapons are nevertheless rather inefficient, simply slowing him downward). He's as well recurrently shown being sensitive to electricity, high-voltage electric currents being able to crusade him a great deal of pain (for this reason, Livewire is one of his most formidable enemies in this animated series), and in one episode lasers proved capable of blinding him temporarily. Despite this greatly reduced durability, he'due south very rarely shown injured or bleeding. His lung capacity seems also quite limited since he needs special equipment to go underwater or in outer space.

In improver, the ship that carries the baby Kal-El to Earth is designed to accept a pilot, and the autopilot used instead was programmed to land smoothly upon reaching its destination. This was done and then that the send is in perfect working condition during Superman's machismo and could be used as his manner of long-range transportation in infinite.

Flavour two was originally scheduled to run 26 episodes, simply it was extended to 28 episodes in order to accommodate a two-function story introducing Supergirl ^{[ disambiguation needed ]}. ^[11]

While the series adapts many villains from Superman's rogues gallery in the comics, the primary antagonists that he faces throughout the show and the DCAU continuity every bit a whole are Lex Luthor, Brainiac and Darkseid.

In the serial, the writers decided to alter Brainiac's origin by making him an artificial intelligence supercomputer from Krypton, instead of the planet Colu like the comics, to give him a more personal rivalry with Superman. While the producers of the bear witness found Brainiac's character and abilities interesting in the comics, they disliked his original design so they drastically contradistinct his appearance; his greenish bogus skin was replaced with an icy-blue coloration, and the rest of his outfit became a mix of purple and grey rather than pinkish and black. Corey Burton'due south vocal performance as Brainiac was done in a cold, depression-affect style similar to HAL 9000 in the Space Odyssey films and the 'Command Vocalism' heard during the opening narration of The Outer Limits . ^[12]

To pay tribute to Jack Kirby's 4th World creations, the prove introduced the New God Darkseid as Superman's archenemy. In contrast to the character's less than faithful adaptations in Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show and The Super Powers Squad: Galactic Guardians in the 1980s, Superman: The Animated Series portrays Darkseid as the evil and omnipotent cosmic 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 vocalization. The character is notable for existence the just villain the DCAU'south version of Superman is willing to kill, and Darkseid's actions in the series finale in addition to their rivalry go a recurring staple throughout subsequent spin-off shows.

Comic adaptation [ edit ]

As with the majority of shows in DC blithe universe, Superman: The Animated Series received a comic adaptation taking place in the aforementioned universe, that ran from 1996 to 2002, with 68 issues, an annual and a special issue featuring Lobo. Paul Dini wrote the first consequence of the serial, followed by Scott McCloud, Mark Millar and Evan Dorkin. Among the artists that contributed to the series are Ty Templeton, Rick Burchett, Mike Manley, Aluir Amancio, Min South.Ku and Neil Vokes.

Altered sequence in "Apokolips...Now! Office Ii" [ edit ]

"Apokolips...Now! Function II" was later altered from its original airing on Feb 7, 1998. Originally the Dan Turpin funeral at the episode'southward finish was a truthful homage to belatedly New Gods creator Jack Kirby and featured several of his comic creations as attendees to the funeral including Nick Fury, the Fantastic Four, Large Barda, Scott Free, Orion and others, aslope Kirby'due south friends and fans Mark Evanier, Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Alex Ross, his father Norman Ross and Stan Lee. These characters and persons were later removed and the scene pacing was re-edited for subsequent airings and its DVD release on Superman: The Blithe Series Volume 3 Disc iii. The original sketches for this scene can be found at Michael Eury'southward book The Krypton Companion published by TwoMorrow's Publishing (ISBN1-893905-61-6). Neither DC nor Warner ever commented on the decision to alter this item scene, simply it has been speculated that copyright issues regarding the use of the likenesses of Marvel Comics characters and the long-time rivalry betwixt the two companies might have motivated the deletion.

They used the original circulate version of this episode, reinstating the original mourners at Dan Turpin's funeral. The original version also made it to the official Blu-ray set afterward that same twelvemonth.

As with Batman: The Animated Serial, Shirley Walker was in accuse of the series' music. Walker wrote the series theme and composed themes for diverse characters, equally well as scoring half dozen episodes herself – "Male parent's Day," "The Hand of Fate," "Obsession," "Absolute Power" and the two-parter "Legacy." Unlike the previous serial, only 4 other composers worked on the serial – Kristopher Carter, Harvey R. Cohen, Michael McCuistion, and Lolita Ritmanis. About every episode had a completely original score; very few reused music from previous shows, and but one episode ("Superman's Pal," credited to Carter, McCuistion, Ritmanis, and Walker) was entirely "scored" with tracked textile. ^[xviii]

On January 28, 2014, La-La Land Records released a four-disc compilation of music from the series, collecting 20 consummate episode scores, including those of the "World's Finest" three-parter, the "Apokolips... Now!" two-parter, the "Lilliputian Girl Lost" two-parter and "In Brightest 24-hour interval...".
