Superman: The Animated Series season #1 on December 7th!

[Monterey Jack]

From the Digital Bits:

Next up is the 2-disc, 18-episode Superman: The Animated Series - Volume One (SRP $26.98). Extras will include the Superman: Learning to Fly and Building the Mythology: Superman's Supporting Cast featurettes, audio commentary on 4 episodes, and pop-up trivia.

It arrives the same day as volume 2 of Batman: TAS. Sweet! Lois Lane will be mine...

Excellent news. Timm and Dini kick ass.

Despite Batman: TAS being one of my favorite shows of all time, and genre, I have never seen this. I never liked Supes as much, basically because his comics sucked when I collected, but I'll still pick this up for such a great price, and because of the talent involved.

Now I want Justice League sets, and I want them badly. I ain't buyin' those damn one-discers WB, you can just forget that shit... gimmie what I so desperately need... and give it to me now.

Just to add some detail about who/what/where these extras will appear on the set.

Superman: Learning to Fly - A featurette exploring the creation of Superman: The Animated Series, including interviews with talent, creators and DC Comics (10mins)

A Little Piece of Trivia - Pop up trivia over the "A Little Piece of Home" episode

Okay, got through the first eight eps of the set, and I'm lovin' it. The picture transfers look pretty clean, the sound is good, and the extras so far (listened to the commentaries on "The Last Son Of Krypton part 1" and "Stolen Memories" and watched the trivia track on "A Little Piece Of Home" and the "Learning To Fly" featurette) are entertaining. Best of all, now I can have my Lois Lane fix whenever I want! I just hope that volume 2 won't be too far off.

I'm enjoying the set too, though I have to say it lacks something that Batman has. Maybe I just like the Batman character more, but I think it's some other things as well.

Still, a great set and a great show.

It's in three individual parts with opening/end credits for each one. Kinda annoying, actually. Otherwise, a terrific set.

well i have the original last son of krypton dvd when it came out last year for like 7 bucks i guess ill hold on to it since its the original full length episode (no credits between sections ) thanks monty ill still pick up this set and later on batman. superman the 96 animated series was my fave version of superman. i never really cared for how they changed his look and voice on justice leauge. call me crazy but i thought tim daly did a GREAT job in the role of superman/clark as is most of the casting on superman TAS 96.


Now if only they would release superman the animated series from 88 THAT would be awesome
