Goddammit. Batman: The Animated Series is so good. I should be doing homework but I can't stop watching it.
I just finished watching the 2nd and 3rd volumes of Superman. Y'know, 3 wasn't that great. The Darkseid episodes were okay, but the whole thing felt kind of lazy. I guess there's only so much you can do to keep an invincible superhero interesting.
On a similar note, I just saw the Fleischer bros.'s original cartoon and it was awe-inspiring. Sure we can laugh now at the ridiculous mad scientist and Clark Kent sneaking into a closet to change clothes and Superman punching laser beams, but you have to admire the wonderful quality of animation and the way the toon captures the essence of the Man of Steel. I'm told the budget the Fleischers were given was higher then for anything they'd done before and it really shows.
