Superman: The Animated Series
Also known as:
Superman
From the creators of Batman: The Animated Series, comes the Emmy winning Superman: The Animated Series. Much like Batman, Superman retells the classic tales spun in old DC comics, in a modern manner. Following Superman as he balances his everyday job as Clark Kent, a reporter for the Daily Planet, and his real calling as an all powerful superhero protecting Metropolis, Superman: The Animated Series humanizes the alien that was sent to help mankind.

Lex Luthor. Bizarro. Metallo. Karkull. The universe is filled with villains. And only the Man of Steel can keep them from overthrowing Earth in this action-pack second season from the Emmy-winning series! Filled with dynamic storylines, brilliant animation and complex characters, this collection includes the three-part crossover episode World's Finest, in which The Joker teams with Lex Luthor, forcing Batman and Superman into a reluctant partnership to defeat the crazed clown and maniacal billionaire. |

Alien warships instantly appear and attack Metropolis. Superman flies into action to save his beloved city, but his powers are not enough. This enemy is greater than any other Superman will ever know: the malicious Darkseid, a vicious dictator intent on controlling the universe and the one villain Superman is willing to kill ...or die trying. Darkseid vows to Superman, "If you will not be my knight, then you will be my pawn." No idle threat, he manipulates the Man of Steel to take over Earth in a plot that ultimately changes Superman's life forever! |
