Superman: The Animated Series ran from 1996 to 2000 on Kids WB!, and followed the adventures of Superman as he defended the entire Earth from evil.

The series was the first spin-off of Batman: The Animated Series, and was also the first in the DCAU to feature multiple superhero guest stars (Batman, Aquaman, Doctor Fate, Flash and Green Lantern). The title for episodes airing under The New Batman/Superman Adventures was The New Superman Adventures, as acknowledged by The WB.

In January 2009, IGN dubbed Superman: The Animated Series the 36th best animated television series.[1]
