    The multi-part episode "World's Finest", where Superman meets Batman for the first time, is one of the best storylines of this series!!! I especially loved how they discover each other's secret identities, Batman's discovery of Clark is completely spot-on!!! I wish the live-action movies would have taken note of this series and Batman the Animated series when they made their past films, then they wouldn't have had so many failures. These animated shows are still the VERY BEST adaptations of these characters (and their stories) EVER brought to screen!
    Keep up the GREAT work, Heath!!!

    • @CerealAtMidnight
      @CerealAtMidnight  2 года назад +6

      Well said! I remember watching the Superman/Batman Movie (feature version with all three episodes combined) on VHS at a friend's house circa 1998 and being absolutely blown away by the level of storytelling and how much maturity it held for both Superman and Batman. I agree with you that it's a shame the Warner Bros. films consider anything from comics and television to be beneath them. It's pretty clear that the folks in charge of the films themselves have very little connection or history with these characters.

    Got my set in the mail this week. The series has never looked better, much like Batman TAS and Batman Beyond. I hope Justice League complete set release is next. Yes i know Blurays are out for those but we need a proper complete set with the first series in the widescreen format like they originally intended. I would also love to see all of Zeta Project, Static Shock, Super Friends on BD, Freakazoid, Animaniacs OG, Pinky and the Brain and Tiny Toons, Gobots, Centurions, The Mask TAS, Swat Kats all remastered and released on BD as well.

    Superman has been getting a lot of love as of late with Smallville, Superman the Animated Series and of course Superman and Lois. He definitely deserves it. Smallville is definitely an inspirational and influential part of my life and I absolutely adore it. Superman and Lois does a wonderful job of emulating the elements and themes that Smallville brought to the small screen from 2001-2011. I haven't seen Superman the Animated Series yet. I'm going to have to see if I can order a copy from Best Buy so I can finally give it a viewing. Otherwise, thanks as always Heath for another wonderful video. I really appreciate the continued hard work!

    Finally Superman the animated series is on blu ray
    While I liked the ruby spears animated version of Superman (as cheesy as it is) the 1996 series is easily the definitive incarnation of Superman
    It’s basically what if we took Superman into a Batman the animated series scenario and it worked
    The show was surprisingly able to tell dark stories even for Superman standards (though let’s be honest Superman is no stranger to dark storytelling)
    I also like how they understood Superman’s character he’s not just a blue Boy Scout but an actual person beneath the tights (I know he’s technically an alien) this is what I like about the dc animated universe from the 90s they understand who the heroes are and expand them from how fanboys think they act
    Also tim daily is basically to Superman as Kevin conroy is to batman perfect casting Clancy brown did a great job as lex Luther they even got the guy who would later play Danny phantom as jimmy olsen
    Superman the animated series is just as good as batman the animated series and while it did get cut short during it’s third season it still should be respected for bringing Superman to a new generation at the time

    • @CerealAtMidnight
      @CerealAtMidnight  2 года назад +4

      I always liked and agreed with the statement that Bruce Wayne is the mask and Batman is the man, while Superman is Clark Kent's mask to protect those he loves.
      And you're right, Superman is no stranger to dark stories, and I've always loved that when creators really connect with who that character is, they can throw all sorts of darkness at him without it changing who he is, his moral compass, or the fact that he's really the boy from Smallville who wants to help people because he can do what others can't. Would love to see some of that show up in the movies again. It's been a long time.

    This show takes me back for sure. I was obviously a fan of BTAS. Then to see Supes was going to be given the same treatment in style and animation , I was pumped. I first learned about STAS in Variety magazine. I bought that issue specifically because Superman was on the cover. It was in glorious color. Not many issues of Variety were printed in color. So it was special ya know. Thank you for your passion and this review. I'm definitely going to pick this up.

    Great Review 👍 I Just got this set yesterday. It's a shame about what is missing. Also if they could have alternative presentations for "Last Son" as well as 'Worlds Finest" as seamless short films, as they aired originally, that would have been neat. I'm having issues with my digital copy though. Vudu said it was redeemed, but not showing up in my library??

    • @CerealAtMidnight
      @CerealAtMidnight  2 года назад +1

      Sounds like you redeemed the code the day before the street date? That always seems to cause problems with VUDU. When I get something from Warner to review, it now explicitly comes with a note not to redeem digital copies before release day.

      Yes! I don't know why I said thirties. Superman wasn't even created until '38. The Fleischer shorts are included on the Superman Anthology Blu-ray set! They have also been released in a single Blu-ray volume, but I can't vouch for the quality, because they don't come from the Warner Bros. elements and are apparently mastered from public domain sources. amzn.to/3BEoTqU

    I bought this blu ray set. Unfortunately in part 2 of Apokolips Now, the tribute to Jack Kirby, which was broadcast originally, has been edited out of the ending and replaced with a title card saying Not the end. The funeral scene at the end has also been altered where it appears the characters attending the funeral, intended as references to Jack Kirby related characters and real life personalities have been painted over. The visual background in the scene is a lot darker and black than its original broadcast version. Not what i was expecting!

    I'm going to "blaspheme" as the Bronze said in Mad Max, and admit that I'm not a fan 0f the Bruce Timm/Paul Dini.DC shows.
    I'm a Batman fanboy and was extremely excited when Batman : The Animated Series was announced. I loved the DC cartoons from Filmafion (who later gave us He Man but that was after my time) with Batman (one of the cartoons had Scarecrow), Superman, Superboy, Aquaman and JLA (featuring Flash, Green Lantern. The Atom and Superman). I even liked the Filmatuon show with Bat-Mite
    I never failed to get up early every Saturday morning to watch The Superfriends. I even sat through Schoolhouse Rock (I will never understand why ABC thought we would want to sit through that on a day off from school).
    When I heard about Batman : The Animated Series I kept thinking of what the animation would look like. I thought it would look like The 2 movies that were out, that the Bat costume would be all black with the logo in the yellow oval. My problem with these shows is that the characters look like stick figures. The same goes for this Superman cartoon as well as the JLA show.
    I thought I tight be my age getting the better of me but I loved Gotham Knight as well as Batman: Ninja as well as Justice League : The New Frontier,
    I do like Tim Daly as an actor. I first started liking him when he was in the Barry Levinson film Diner with Daly, Mickey Rourke. Daniel Stern, Steve Guttenberg. Ellen Barkin (who looks just like Cameron Diaz).
