From 1998 to 1999, my young life was dominated by one thing: The New Batman-Superman Adventures.
A compilation of episodes from Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series, this was the highlight of my every week. For an entire year and a half, Star Wars lay forgotten as I delved into my new obsession. Unfortunately, just before my tenth birthday, my mother decided that I was too young to be watching Batman, and I was thereafter forbidden from watching the show. (For the next few years, at least.)
When Justice League premiered, however, my superhero obsession was renewed.
I honestly can't describe how much those episodes affected me. Even today, if I read a Batman or Superman comic book, the characterizations must match the animated series versions or it just feels wrong.
The DC Animated Universe is primarily comprised of:
- Batman: The Animated Series / The Adventures of Batman and Robin
- Superman: The Animated Series
- The New Batman Adventures
- Batman Beyond
- Justice League
- Justice League Unlimited
