This on boggles my mind I mean WTH , Superman hasn't had a solo animated series since the 90's ( I do not count the JLA Cartoons). What happened cause Batman has a ton of animated series attempts after his famous animated series. Didn't the Superman one almost win a Emmy I don't get it.

While I can understand difficulties with creating good Superman’s game (which doesn’t meant that I like it), I’m quite baffled because of lack of new Supes’ animated series.

Hopefully there will be one in the future, especially with Beware the Batman's recent cancellation.

Agreed, it really doesn't make sense and they should have had one in the works for when the Man of Steel came out

"Because Superman isn't cool enough anymore." would be DC's response.

But they made a film Smallville, it only seems logical that a cartoon would have been next

I don't quite understand this?

should have said made a film and Smallville

The film was MOS, Smallville had ended long before his anniversary so that still confuses me (sorry mate), but I totally agree an animated show should have been in the works in addition to the failure that is Superman Unchained to capitalize on everything Superman.

@arturocalakayvee: Sorry, what I was saying is they have made films (like Man of Steel) and tv shows (like Smallville) both popular and recent so that shows that Superman is still a popular character

I want a new JL cartoon >:|

I want an animated series based off superboy prime.

Ah okay now I get you! I totally agree a Superman series would be successful and that Superman most definitely still is a popular character - hell he's the WORLDS most popular character along with Batman - but business wise, I don't think popularity would bring in viewers for a Superman animated show. Casual fans of Superman would go and see his movie but they wouldn't sit down to see an animated show on Cartoon Network.

I want Superman animated series & Young Justice continued and the 2 of them in the same universe and then I want then to put in supergirl & powergirl.

I never really noticed that. I do wish they came out with another animated series for him. Base it off the new 52 version.

Superman got 10 seasons of a teen soap opera, an animated series should be easy. And people will watch it.

They need to do a superman animated show that takes place right after the end of season two of Young Justice,so we can get superman,both his parents,Conner being a part of that family(and grow into TTK),have Kara,Steel,and others show up.

An animated series based in the New 52, or Smallville Season 11 being adapted into an animated series would be pretty cool... To be honest, I'll be happy with any animated series with Supes as a regular at this point.

I definitely would like to see another animated Superman show. I'm shocked that they haven't done one since the 90s.

Superman is just a figurehead for DC. Batman is the real cashcow, so they'll keep going in that direction.

It is tHe rule of DC: If it isn't Batman related it isn't important.

Well he DID have smallville for many years...

I'd rather see a story about a guy who can fly, shoot lasers out of his eyes and have fist fights that could level mountains, than a story about a dude who hides in the dark and throws a boomerang correctly, Im sure kids would too.

At least he's had one. I'm still waiting on Wonder Woman the animated series.

You think? I think Superman gets an extra special treatment too.

So Smallville was about Batman?

Actually yes, it was originally supposed to be a series detailing Bruce Wayne's life before he became Batman (a la Fox's new series Gotham)... It was later redesigned as a Superman show.

You know, if I had to choose between last 4 or 5 seasons of Smallville and Superman’s animated series, I would have chosen the latest

@archizoom: YeaH Supes gets some attention too. I mean He is considered tHe first SuperHero but... c'mon if it ain't Batman tHat it isn't as important.

June'sVeryOwn

Yeah. Never noticed that.

@black_arrow: You're really going to bring up Smallville like if tHey didn't bring Green Arrow in tHe sHow to act like Batman. Not to mention, tHat tHe current Arrow sHow is like Batman as an arcHer.

Are we really suppose to act like Batman isnt tHe priority for DC and Superman is tHe one getting 2nd place treatment?

EDIT: I mean because Superman came out on tHe sequel to Batman Begins... rigHt?

June'sVeryOwn

if they use a darker superman and not the boyscout kind i think that they could pull off a fantastic cartoon but it would have to be smilar animation to that of young justice which is probably the best dc animated series in tearms of how everything was drawn

I'm pretty sure it's on hiatus. But that could be Cartoon network talk for cancelled. In all honestly, if a Batman cartoon failed, what are the chances that any other hero would be successful? I'm not saying that Superman couldn't get a series. But with WB's partnership with Cartoon network, I doubt it would last.

I just want the YJ continuity to continue. I could careless of who it's would be about.

DC and WB should be pulling out all the stops to create a new and endearing Superman series. Instead they're resting on Batman's laurels and not diversifying their DC cartoons. And that's a massive shame given what kind of potential a Superman show has to offer.

Well Superman isn't really diverse though... he and Bats are the only ones that get multiple cartoons (based on their franchises). Diverse would be if DC made a Flash or Wonder Woman cartoon. Batman AND Superman have monopolized the DC market. Having one or two cartoons less than Bats doesn't mean much. Superman had Krypto the Superdog, Legion of Super-heroes(who was clearly the protagonist).

By diversifying, I'm referring to DC releasing shows like Young Justice or JLU that expanded the wider DCU into the series. Not enough DC cartoons like that are around nowadays. Let alone other DC characters like Wonder Woman or Flash as you mention.
