Superman: The Animated Series, A BRBTV Report
With "Batman: The Animated Series" striking such success among fans in the early '90s, it seemed only natural that Warner Bros. Animation - in particular Bruce Timm and Co. - would follow it with a focus on the other huge, iconic figure in the DC Comics stable, Superman.
"Superman: The Animated Series" proved faithful to the famous Superman mythos originally created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and so well-explored in many pop culture media over the decades, from other animated series to live-action TV series and theatrical movies, to newspaper and radio and of course, the printed comic-book page. This new series took Superman / Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Lex Luthor, Perry White and many, many more of the well-known characters and gave them a fresh look and fresh appeal, all keeping to the style of "B:TAS."
The half-hour animated series encompassed three seasons on the Kids WB! from 1996 to 2000, contributing a few of its own unique elements to the enduring Superman mythos along the way. Introducing new BRBTV writer Will ("The Voice Man") Rodgers, this Report delivers up a magazine-length feature story examining the history and impact of this TV series. In addition to the feature story, you'll see Will's own fun, original episode synopses, along with a cast list for the show. It's all in a convenient, portable, Kindle format with photos appearing in color where available. And it's the meatiest BRBTV Report so far -- the equivalent of 87 letter-sized pages!
From the same place you'll find print reference guides to classic
TV shows like "Dallas," "Dynasty" and "The Dukes of Hazzard," the BRBTV
Reports are not designed to be "books." They're shorter, snappier reads
-- and oh-so conveniently electronic -- to celebrate the great TV shows
