Batman Beyond
Set in a futuristic Gotham City, Batman Beyond follows teenager Terry McGinnis as he takes on the role of Batman. With guidance from a retired Bruce Wayne, Terry navigates the challenges of being a hero while also dealing with school, family, and friends. The show, featuring the voices of Will Friedle, Cree Summer, Frank Welker, Stockard Channing, and the late Kevin Conroy, examines themes of legacy and what it means to grow older.
This show, which aired from 1999 to 2001, was highly acclaimed for its unique approach to the Batman story. It featured a younger Batman working alongside the older Bruce Wayne, creating a compelling dynamic. Combining a futuristic, cyberpunk style with familiar Batman themes, the series delivered a complex and engaging narrative.
Wonder Woman
Nearly fifty years ago, the Wonder Woman TV series, which aired from 1977 to 1979 on ABC and CBS, revolutionized superhero television. Starring Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) and Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor and his son, the show initially focused on Wonder Woman’s World War II adventures fighting Nazis alongside Steve Trevor. The second season then updated the setting to the modern day, featuring her battling contemporary terrorists and criminals.
Carter received widespread acclaim for her performance on the show. Her natural charm and engaging personality infused the story with a hopeful and inspiring tone, marking a fresh approach to superhero narratives. By keeping the storyline straightforward, Carter and her team created a portrayal of the character that continues to connect with fans today.
Green Lantern: The Animated Series
Between 2011 and 2013, Green Lantern: The Animated Series followed Hal Jordan, Kilowog, and others as they explored mysterious Red Lantern attacks in a distant part of the galaxy. The show, featuring the voices of Josh Keaton, Kevin Michael Richardson, Jason Spisak, and Grey DeLisle, aired for just one season on Cartoon Network.
The show was well-received for its interesting characters and how it delved into the Green Lantern world, going beyond typical hero versus villain storylines. It also thoughtfully examined the far-reaching effects of war, issues that resonate even outside of the DC Universe and fictional settings.
My Adventures with Superman
Premiering in 2023 on Adult Swim and HBO Max, My Adventures with Superman offers a fresh, anime-inspired look at the classic Superman story. The show features Jack Quaid as Superman, Alice Lee as Lois Lane, and Ishmel Sahid as Jimmy Olsen, and follows Clark Kent as he balances his work at the Daily Planet with his life as a superhero, battling familiar foes from the comics.
My Adventures with Superman successfully combines updated animation styles with the timeless stories of Clark Kent, and delivers a heartfelt portrayal of its main characters. It’s a great entry point for new viewers, while also offering plenty of depth and excitement for longtime Superman fans.
Aquaman: King of Atlantis
James Wan, the director behind the live-action Aquaman films, brought us Aquaman: King of Atlantis, a three-part animated series from Warner Bros. Featuring the voices of Cooper Andrews, Gillian Jacobs, Thomas Lennon, and Dana Snyder, the show presents a new look at Arthur Curry’s journey to becoming king of Atlantis, where he faces both old enemies and new challenges, including dealing with criminals on the surface world and his formidable half-brother, Orm.
The latest Aquaman installment was a hit with audiences because it successfully blended a more serious portrayal of the character with the lighthearted and fantastical elements fans expect. Its distinctive animation and clever, self-aware humor made it enjoyable for everyone – both new and longtime fans – and introduced the classic Justice League hero to a wider audience.
Bat-Fam
Following the 2023 film Merry Little Batman, Bat-Fam delves into the complex relationships within the Batman family and how they work together.
