Great!

I thought the animated series was great it had the feel of Superman and best of all it Superman looked like Superman. Great voices although I do prefer George Newburn in Justice League. The best episodes of the this where the three part Last son of Krypton and the World's finest episodes. It isn't as good as the Batman: Animated Series but still a damn good animated version of the Man of Steel.
