Superman: The Animated Series is finally coming out on Blu-ray. This is one of the more beloved superhero shows from the '90s, following in the footsteps of Batman: The Animated series. It shares several members of the same creative team with that show, including Bruce Timm and Paul Dini. The collection is set to release October 12 for $69.99. You can preorder it now (see it on Amazon).
Preorder Superman: The Complete Animated Series
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the debut of Superman: The Animated Series. It ran for five seasons, from 1996 to 2000. All 54 episodes are accounted for in this six-disc collection. Each one has been remastered to look great on modern televisions.
From the press release: "All 54 episodes have been remastered from the original 35mm Interpositive sources, giving special attention to extensive color correction, dirt and scratch clean up, and adding a grain reduction pass to create a pristine picture, all while making sure not to affect the original lines in the artwork of the animation. The audio was retransferred from the original audio masters, and the series is presented in its original aspect ratio (4x3)."
Also included are several hours of new special features and bonus material, as detailed below (also from the press release).
