Summary: Item is great, a little rough though.
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
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.

Summary: Perfect for little superman
Comment: I got this item for my son who loves Superman. He will actually sit down and watch the whole season. It is amazing.

Summary: Great fun for all ages.
Comment: This cartoon was a favorite of mine. When it came on for the first time, I knew I was going to be hooked.
As you have probably guessed, this particular show heavily makes use of the Bruce Timm animation style which made Batman look so darn good. Obviously this show is a lot brighter and overall lighter in spirit and is definately more child friendly, but the writing and production value is every bit as high.
The episodes are smartly written and well animated. The voice actors are absolutely perfect for their characters. Brad Garret even makes a cameo as Lobo (who is awesome) and, surprisingly enough, is actually quite well suited for the role.
If you do not love this (not likely, it's a great show), the children in your family will. It's smart enough for an adult, but light enough for a child. A well balanced show, and a great addition to your collection.

Summary: Loved the Bruce Timm produced cartoons
Comment: I'm a comic book fan. I liked the Batman animated series, and the Superman adventures added the world's most recognized hero to the DC animated universe. Volume one of this series brought a good basis to the Man of Steel. The shows in the first season showed us how intricate the animators version of Metropolis, the intricacies of the fight scenes, and they didn't overuse the kryptonite. Everyone knows Supes is weak to the rock, but you can't use it all the time. Throughout the series they show his battle with stronger foes, overwhelming odds, and magic. The team up with the newly designed 4th season Batman was also stunning. Anything made by Bruce Timm and his group has been done well, so I highly recommend the entire Superman series and the rest of the DCAU (DC Animated Universe).
