Warner Bros. Animation developed Superman: The Animated Series for Kids WB following the success of Batman: The Animated Series. Debuting in 1996. The series aired 54 episodes over three seasons. Alan Burnett and Bruce Timm developed the series. Its voice cast includes Tim Daly as Superman, Dana Delany as Lois Lane, David Kaufman as Jimmy Olsen, Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor, Corey Burton as Brainiac, and Michael Ironside as Darkseid.

Superman: The Animated Series helped establish the shared DC Animated Universe. The three-part episode “World’s Finest” episode in the show’s second season first aired as a movie that saw Superman teaming up with Batman from Batman: The Animated Series, but redesigned to fit into Superman: The Animated Series‘ style. This set the stage for The New Batman Adventures, offering new stories in the Batman: The Animated Series universe but with an extended cast and new designs. The two shows aired back to back on Kids WB, eventually ending to make room for Justice League, which saw Batman and Superman joining forces with Martian Manhunter, Wonder woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl. After two seasons, this series would expand into Justice League Unlimited, featuring scores of heroes from the DC Comics universe.
