Justice League Unlimited got me into comics and superheroes. I watched the other top shows but something about JLU just made me want to want more of the stories.
Same with me!
Richard Miller they didn’t focus to much on Batman, Superman, and the most popular heroes. They gave Stargirl, vigilante, and S.T.R.I.P.E their own episode, which will always be one of my favorites.
Paul dini is a good writer lol
1994 spider-man got me into characters like spider-man dr strange wolverine and venom
1.justice league unlimited
2.batman TAS
3.avengers earths mightest heros
4.spectacular spider man
5.teen titans
best list 2003-2015
Yeah spectacular spiderman should be there
young justice hands down is one of the best cartoons i've seen
+samasima I think lunatics run Cartoon Network now, they cancelled that gold for Teen Titans Go...made me want to cry.
Grant Wilson do you know whats worse, they didnt even raplace it with teen titans and the finale with terra, they added teen titans go wtf is that crap lloll
+samasima The fact that young justice was canceled and that it did not make this list was a tragedy.
^
+Seth Blair actually netflix i think bought the rights for young justice and are gonna make season 3
I honestly though Spectacular Spider-Man was leagues and miles better than the 90's show was. Plus I'm surprised at the lack of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on this list.
I was born in 1991 man. I became a comic fan from the Batman, X-Men, Ironman, FF, & Spiderman shows so I'm saying this... the 90's Spider-Man show has aged poorly. Bad voice acting, horrible animation.. & after watching Spectacular.. I can't watch the 90's show anymore. Yes, it's the reason I'm a Spider-Man fan.. but GEEZ it's a bad show...
"Spectacular had bad animation"
We must have watched 2 different shows.
Luis Martinep I was a 90s kid and was raised by this show, you gotta be a idiot to think anything disney puts out is better than the animated show.
TroyLeeMoly the point is the 90s series was the best spiderman cartoon fuck the rest
KAR5AVATARGT
Ikr and Ultimate spiderman is a joke
Kevin Conroy is to Batman, as Robert Downey Jr. is to Iron Man.
I also see Mark Hamill more as the Joker than I do Luke Skywalker, and that's saying something.
Looking at the characters Mark Hamill has played from the Joker in BTAS onwards, I actually don't disagree with what you said, as he seems more suited to playing insane villains than noble heroes, despite a noble hero (Luke Skywalker) being his signature role
I say Josh Keaton is Spider-Man, as well as Robert Englund as Scarecrow, Tim Daly as Superman, and Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman.
At least the comic book cartoons you grew up on never got cancelled *cough* *cough* young justice *cough*
They have been talking about making a third season
kate lasko can you give me a link or source to wear that was said I just really want this show back and I'm looking every single day for any news about it
Dark Saiyan Knight they made a video game that's kind of a sequel to the series. Bruce timm is attached to be involved on a new justice league cartoon so I don't think DC animated is going back to young justice. Would love an animated movie though
anawesomechannel I just watched that, and it just ended. I was like what? Not another Angel...
I know that was so sad why just why
Fun fact: the same voice acting crew for Batman the Animated Series was reunited to take up the jobs of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.
A Little Late with that "Fun Fact" aren't you?? That "Fun Fact" you stated has been EXTREMELY WELL KNOWN for Many Years.
Well idiot know
Young justice
I'm not a Turtle guy, sorry. Other than that I'm okay with this list. Honorable mentions to Batman Beyond, X-men evolution and especially Young Justice. YJ isn't the least bit nostalgic but it is still pretty awesome. Sad to see it cancelled and how it was aired with inconsistent breaks that according to actors where unnecessary.
RIP young justice, best animated cartoon since the justice league.
OMG! I loved X-men Evolution.
yes, young justice is the best
young justice was awsome but it had character from different story lines that weren't supposed to be there a the last episode pissed me off
Benjamin Borokhov The cliffhanger? A certain someones death? Every flaw I have with the last episode could be rectified if it was allowed another season. Sadly the merchandise department was unable to market to a more diverse demographic than they are used to (Oh no! Teenage girls!). This meant that they had to cancel the show in favor of something they had better experience selling toys for (little boys love their Teen Titans) and thus we didn't get our final season.
So blame the marketing department taking care of selling merchandise for why we got the ending we did.
Pisses. Me. Off...
Nightwing deserves his own animated series.
1.Batman the Animated Series
2. Batman TAS
3.That 90's Batman cartoon
4. The Paul Dini show
5.BTAS
Rafi Schon Wirtschafter batman tas is batman the animated series. You mean the new Batman and robin adventures
Don't forget the Bruce Timm show
@@kendallmoore4826 is it about that Phantom guy from the comics?
@@Alkhatibr I think he on purpose said the same show for all five spots. I would whoosh you but I'm good
Rafi Schon Wirtschafter can u not be a fanboy
Gotta say, DC really knocks it out of the park with animated series. Superman the animated series, Batman the animated series, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, Teen Titans, Young Justice, Green Lantern the animated series! On a separate note, I wonder if The Last Airbender and Korra count as superhero cartoons?
IDK but those wsre great series
Batman Beyond deserved a place on the list more the TMNT. Teen Titans also should have been there... Static Shock was another good one.
I never liked static shock and Teen Titans was meh imo. The first Slade arc was really the only thing I like from that series.
Tmnt are not superheroes.
His opinion.
What about "The Batman" from like 2004 its my favourite Batman cartoon
Mateo Vasquez Its sorta seen as the 'black sheep' of Batman cartoon series, but I still enjoyed it personally and it was a good series. Just, aimed alot towards children.
But I herd a lot of adults liked the show
I said 'AIMED alot towards children' , that doesn't mean adults don't watch it.
oh ok
The Penguin's voice actor was brilliant.
Spectacular Spider-Man anyone??
It's his own personal list not a general thing
best ever
Jake Mott HELL YEAH!!
Prolifik Wuhn j
My list would include:
1. Batman Tas
2. Spectacular Spider-Man
3. X-Men Tas
4. Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes
5. Spider-Man Tas
You should check out Justice League/Justice League Unlimited. It's an AMAZING show.
But teen titans go is better. I mean it's everyone's favorite new show. Oh fuck no. But the justice league show, one word to describe it would be: Kickass!
#5 X men the animated series
#4 Avengers Earth's Lightest Heroes
#3 Spectacular Spiderman
#2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
#1 Justice League Unlimited
(Didn't see Batman the Animated Series, I was too young if even born yet)
Wolverine and the Xmen was great too but ended too early
Lightest heroes lol
You can find batman the animated series online for free
gamingsfinest1 batman the animated series was at the same time as X-men tas
I was too young for Batman TAS too but recently I've started watching it. It ain't bad
Mine:
5. Justice League/JLU
4. Teen Titans
3. Spectacular Spider-man
2. Batman TAS
1. Young Justice
+iKhanKing FINALLY SOMEONE PUT SPECTACULAR SPIDERMAN!!
Jesus most of these are modern just watch all the old ones are pretty awesome
+Angel Marcos I have. I grew up on the old ones. But I put nostalgia aside and realized that there are a few newer shows that surpass their predecessors.
+iKhanKing I also like the new ones but I still like the old ones better but still my favorite one is Avengers Earths Mighest Heroes
I totally agree with you, but may swith YJ with Batman TAS
YOUNG JUSTICE!!! still not over it :'(
and x-men: evolution was really good too!
Oh yeah, x-men evolution was good too. But I liked Wolverine and the X-Men slightly better tho.
1. Batman the Animated Series
2. Young Justice
3. Spiderman
4. X-Men
5. Batman Beyond
(honorable mention to Justice League/Unlimited and Teen Titans)
imo
TMNT shouldn't even be on there, there are many other great cartoons to pick from.
Also, I don't see quite enough love for Young Justice; I highly recommend it.
spectacular spiderman is the best followed by the superman and batman animated series,than 90s xmen and i only saw afew episodes of young justice but then it got canceled
2003 tmnt cartoon was awesome though
Are you kidding me?) Batman beyond is better than TMNT?)
I think the reason Young Justice doesn't get love (even though I was obsessed) is because the producers messed up in many areas. I mean there was a 5 year jump between the first and second season not to mention they had a knack for leaving story lines unresolved.
young justice is better than batman has
HE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT
Yeah!
I actually like that Spiderman wasn't in high school. It allowed the writers to focus more on Spiderman on less on Peter Parker's high school drama.
But Spectacular Spider-Man did that masterfully, so thus they could have done that just as well, so why didn't they?
Agreed, plus in the comics he's in college for way longer than highschool. There are already so many versions of the character in movies and shows in which he's basically a rookie kid, I love that the 90s series gave a more mature Peter who has to face the issues of being a broke young adult trying to make it whilst also being a crime fighter.
perfect choices good sir appreciate it. love how you added Tmnt I hoped but didn't see it coming.
#1 BTAS #2 Teen Titans #3 Justice League #4 Spiderman #5 X Men
Me:
5: The Amazing Spider-Man: Animated Series.
4: X-Men The Animated Series.
3: The Incredible Hulk: The Animated Series
2: Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.
1: Batman: The Animated Series.
+Robert Meakin Same opinion but slightly different hierarchy!
Nice to see that someone else knows the Incredible hulk show
Anyone else think this was the HUGE plug for Netflix ?
Too bad they are not on there anymore. ):
Great list!
omg the 90s spiderman series, i ust to watch that all the time when i was a kid. just seeing the intro right here reminds me of the theme song and takes me back.
my top five
1 JL/JLU
2 Batman The Animated Series
3 Spider-man The Animated Series 1994
4 TMNT 2003 version
5 The Batman 2004-2008
+Tim Davies
also i like Superman The Animated Series
Batman Beyond
Iron man 90s version
Incredible hulk 90s version
x-men 90s version
Wolverine and the x-men
silver surfer
also i liked Transformers even if there not comic-book characters there still sort of superheros
Good list and honorable mentions
Batman Beyond, Young Justice, JLU, BTAS, & X-men Evolution were all fantastic wish they all had longer runs.
Rogue is hot
Gambit is hot. ;0!!!!
so is tigra, what is your point
Michael bay like to shit on everybody's childhood
Your top 5 was excellent. Pretty much spot on.
Damn bruh you’ve changed a lot, keep it up
Spider-Man being an adult wouldn't exactly be a bad thing. Until Ultimate Spider-Man came out Spidey hadn't been a kid in high school since the 60. He grew up.
For me:
5. Transformers: Beast Wars
4. X-Men
3. Superman: TAS
2. Batman: TAS
1. Spiderman
1 and 2 will always be a part of me until the day I die. I always would come home after school and watch those too on the the old Fox Kids weekday line up.
I also hate and disagree with your criticism of Peter Parker being in college and not in high school.
i was born in 2001 and i couldnt stop wathing it when i was 5 and always think about going back and watch it again
Great list
I'd place Young Justice here and Ultimate Spiderman.
Spectacular Spider-Man >>>>>>>>> Ultimate Spider-Man
Young Justice - an excellent choice and a worthy addition to the list.
Ultimate Spider-Man - a piece of shit that isn't worthy to even be in top 1000 animated shows ever.
Spectaculer spider man?
Yes.
I now!?!
not as a kid but yes that was great
The Good Old Days...this cartoons bring me back to my childhood...
You just literally listed out my childhood, from bottom to top. Everything that makes me who I am comes from each and EVERY one of those series. Especially when you topped it off with Batman.
Superman the animated series would have made my top 5
(Cough cough) avengers earths mightiest heroes
It has my favourite cartoon theme song
(cough cough) no!
That's my favorite
dawood rashid Lol yeah I also like the theme song too
Paul Francis Goneda Dun dun dun OUR WORLDS ABOUT TO BREAK!
Although it was so short-lived that I've yet to find a mention of it on the internet, there was a Spirits of Vengeance series back in the days of UPN.
love this list
1. Justice League/ Justice League Unlimited
2. Batman The Animated Series
3. The Batman (Why is it so underrated???)
4. Spectacular Spiderman / Batman Beyond
5. Young Justice
Honorable Mentions: X-Men, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
I agree with that list. Probably as we are similar age, OK maybe I'm older. At the time TMNT (1987) was THE cartoon at that time, even though technically TMNT (2003) was better side by side excluding nostalgia factor.
Justice League Unlimited was awesome. So was Batman Animated, but has been to long to remember which I preferred. I think they are equal. I originally watching it from a tv copy and a couple years later got a 720p copy and re-watched. A perfect way to spend a day.
For some reason only Season 1 and 2 are on Blu-ray, not 3-5 (Unlimited).
Totally agree with you, I grow up in Egypt watching the 1987's TMNT. It was a universal phenomena for the 80's kids.
I agree entirely, glad to see so many people do too.
That was an Awsome List, and in know all of them theyre my childhold cartoons ;D
On a serious note, Flash comics and Xmen will always always be the best comics. But Superman may not have had very good or creatively drawn comics but is the overall best super hero even though he isnt my favorite.,
what about xmen evolution
wow! you had so much hair before. I just got in to your channel this year and I ended up here.
Batman: The Animated Series cannot be topped. Every episode is such high quality. The voice acting, the characters, and artwork.
I am 12 and my favourite is avengers earths mightiest hero's
Mine too besides spiderman and his amazing friends
that is ok.
Me to
Why does your age matter? Does that make you cooler than a 14 year old who likes the show??? It is a good show though. Ms. Marvel is awesome on it.
+WyomingPTT it's justice haven't seen some of these shows
everything about the 90's X-Men cartoon is awesome except for jubilee, worst character with worst voice actress.
Finally! Someone agrees with me on that!
I've seen evry episode and been a fan since Variant's early days, its 2020 now, and I came back to the beginning episodes because I missed the old days with Arris
a good list. i totally agree with you. not in the same way, but these series are also my favorites.
yep rouge is the sexyist woman in marvel
but young justice is the best superhero cartoon ever made *dislike
U uploaded this on my birthday
Batman Beyond and the 2003 Ninja Turtles would have to be on my list. They were both just so freaking good they're hard to ignore. And I think Young Justice would have to be on there too.
Now it's time to binge watch
What about Young Justice, Teen Titans, Spectacular Spiderman, Superman The Animated Series, and Batman Beyond.
I unfortunately haven't seen Batman: TAS yet, as I have to watch it with other people and its hard to get where we live. But Justice League is one of my favourite tv shows of all time, and I started watching Young Justice on the internet and had finished most of the show within three days because it was that good.
Arris what episode of batman was that with the puppet Harley and jack in the box joker.
1. Spider-Man: The Animated Series
2. X-Men: The Animated Series
3. Batman: The Animated Series
4. Superman: The Animated Series
5. Spawn
My dad was also a fan of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, we used to Watch it together on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I also loves Rogue as potrayed in the 90s cartoons, just the Southern accent are so charming.
And if we could some how throw in TMNT TAS
He looks so young here compared to now lol. I had no idea this channel has been around for 10+ years
1. Justice League/JLU
2. Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
3. Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends
4. X-Men
5. ThunderCats
My list:
5.Batman TAS
4.X-Men TAS
3.Justice League/Justice League Unlimited
2:Teen Titans
1.Spider-Man TAS (90's)
I loved all of these shows
I watched the whole Batman:TAS,Batman Beyond and The new batman adventures and Justice League and Justice League: Unlimited in 2-3day long marathon :D I wanted to watch them 2-3 episodes a day starting with BTAS but I just couldn't stop watching, They are best cartoons I watched when I was a kid and it brought back so many memories
5. Young justice
4. Batman the animated series
3. Super Hero Squad
2. Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes
1. Spectacular Spider-Man
Do an updated version of this list!!!
Couldn't have agreed more with this list.
5. Teen Titans
4. Batman Beyond
3. Spiderman(from the 90's)
2. Batman the Animated Series
1. X-Men
I loved the Spider-Man series in the 90s. That was really my superhero fix for my earlier childhood, with the X-Men to a lesser extent. I'm totally biased, but it will always be my favourite.
What episode of BTAS was being used in the clip with Harley Quinn and the Joker 🃏 jack in the box?
Right now, my favorite comic book cartoon is Young Justice. It was awesome at not taking the easy route and focusing on the big superheroes, and instead on the protégé's/sidekick's.
You got all my favs
Thundarr the barbarian? Thunder Cats? Young justice? Avengers earths mightiest heroes? Avengers assemble? Superman the animated series? Dragonball z? Batman beyond? Limiting this to just 5 is tough...
I used to watch Spider-Man TAS when it used to come on at 12 on Disney XD
spot on with this.
The order is debatable, however, a respectable list. Much better than others I've seen.
I like how in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, Batman and Wonder Woman were in love. Also, Batman TAS and Superman TAS were great!
Broooooo I’m watching this 5 years later...... this guy changed so much😳😳😳
My list and you list are so very close, but I have some slight changes:
Honorable Mentions: Space Ghost, Superfriends, and Superman the Animated Series.....
#5. Batman the Animated Series. The Holy Grail of Batman cartoons.
#4. X-Men. The animation seems a little dated but the story lines come directly from the comic books. SNIKT!
#3 Spiderman and his Amazing Friends. A tad campy but timeless. Every Saturday morning without fail.
#2. Justice League/Justice League Unlimited. Great stories, great animation, and they use almost every character in the DC Universe.
#1 Young Justice. Mind blowing animation, great character development and story telling with multiple layers of story arcs with fresh new twist to the DC establishment.
This is so different than what they do now
They have grown so much
my list
1. spiderman 90s
2. batman TAS
3. spectacular spiderman
4. avengers assemble
5. justice league
Avengers earth's mightiest heroes is better though
1- Batman TAS
2- X-Men TAS
3- Spiderman TAS
4- Young Justice
5- X-Men: Evolution
Hard to argue with this list. Mine would be:
1. Batman: The Animated Series
2. Justice League / Justice League Unlimited
3. X-Men
4. Batman: The Brave and the Bold
5. Spectacular Spider-Man
One of my favorites which was underrated in my opinion and wish it had more seasons was the silver surfer cartoon
1. batman animated series( your right, amazing show)
2. spiderman 1967 show
3. teen titans
4. x men
5. justice league unlimited
from a nostalgic point of view:
1. Spiderman (1967 - 1st season only) the catchiest superhero theme song of all time
2. Superfriends (JLA vs. Legion of Doom - the others were crap)
3. Marvel Superhero hour - although technically it's not really animation
4. Fantastic Four (Hannah Barbera)
5. Birdman
Batman the Animated Series was also responsible for giving Mr. Freeze the origin story we are all familiar with. Back then, Mr. Freeze was merely a gimmicky character in the comics with no real story. He was also known as Dr. Zero, or something like that. The episode he was introduced in, Heart of Ice, won an award, maybe more.
I agree 110% with your list of cartoons! At least for nostalgia reasons! Love mark and Kevin as the joker and batman!
Spawn the animated series did it for me. It was so gritty and violent that it only aired on HBO! They need to bring it back.
Yeah Spawn is way underrated
My Top 5 Superhero cartoons:
1. Batman: The Animated Series
2. Young Justice
3. Justice League/Justice League Unlimited
4. Batman Beyond
5. X-Men: Evolution
1.Transformers Prime
2.Batman TAS
3.Young Justice
4.All Marvel
5.Batman Beyond
6.Green Lantern (Cas)
6. Young Justice
5. Green Lantern: Animated Series
4. Static Shock
3. Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes
2. X-Men: Evolution
1.The Spectacular Spider-Man
