Description: Superman: The Animated Series - Volume 1 & Volume 2 DVD Lot Volume 1: From the creators of Batman: The Animated Series comes DC Comics' polar opposite: the Man of Steel in Superman: The Animated Series, Volume One. Like the Dark Knight's series, Superman: The Animated Series is a successful, modern telling of the classic story. Superman's tale is already known to most people, enduring as a modern American myth. The challenge for the producers was how to make something old and familiar new again. Quite successfully, they managed to modernize the Superman environment and its characters enough to attract a new audience but also maintained the integrity of the mythos to satisfy longtime fans. What lifts Superman: The Animated Series above all past Superman shows is its high-quality animation, strong dramatic scripts, a star studded cast, and the creators' willingness to present the show more like a series than a cartoon. It begins with a three-part episode ("The Last Son of Krypton") chronicling the last days of Krypton, the introduction of Braniac, Kal-El's trip to Earth, his development into Superman, and finally his introduction to the world. These three episodes lay the foundation for the next 15 adventures that follow, including confrontations with rivals Lex Luthor, Metallo, Braniac, the bizarre Lobo, and others. For fans of Superman, DC Comics, superheroes, the comic genre, and action tales in general, Superman: The Animated Series is not to be missed. Volume 2: The creative team behind the Emmy® Award-winning Batman: The Animated Series chronicles the adventures of Superman, the World’s Greatest Super Hero. Fly with Superman in this all-new collection of adventures. As the Planet Krypton is destroyed, its leader, Jor-El, secures his infant son, Kal-El, in a rocket that will transport him to Earth. There, as Clark Kent (voiced by series star TIM DALY), he discovers the truth about his interplanetary heritage and, upon reaching adulthood, assumes the identity of Superman, the Man of Steel. In the city of Metropolis, he battles the forces of villainy and continues his quest for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way." In season two, Krypton's most notorious traitor, Jax-Ur (recurring guest voice RON PERLMAN), escapes; Brainiac (recurring guest voice COREY BURTON) returns for revenge; and Bizarro (also voiced by series star TIM DALY), a genetic double of the Man of Steel, tries to take Superman's place as Metropolis' hero, among many other adventures.
