SUPERMAN-RUBY SPEARS (DVD/2 DISC/13 EPISODES)
Amazon.com:
One of the lesser-known chapters in the Superman story, this 1988 one-season wonder was produced to coincide with the Man of Steel's 50th anniversary. Set to a reorchestrated version of John Williams's Superman theme from the 1978 feature film, the show's rousing opening packs a potent retro charge, with narration courtesy of the vintage George Reeves TV series ("More powerful than a locomotive…"). Superman fans who prefer superhero action to romance will take heart when within two minutes of the first episode, Superman and Lois Lane's idyllic nighttime flight over Metropolis is interrupted by a Lex Luthor-devised tank attack. In addition to Luthor, this series offered other memorable villains, including Cybron, a cyborg from the future; Morpheus, a deranged doctor who strips Superman of his powers; and the Hunter, a cunning and adaptable beast created by General Zod to exterminate Superman. Perhaps the highlight of the series is the episode in which Superman teams up with Wonder Woman to recapture an escaped evil sorceress. Some bona fide super talent guided the series, including Marv Wolfman, who, with John Byrne, cowrote the 1986 comic book reboot of the franchise, which, among other changes, transformed Luthor from mad scientist to corrupt industrialist (with a kryptonite ring and an impertinent habit of calling Superman "Supes"). Legendary DC artist Gil Kane did the character design. The animation is a marked improvement over previous Superman animated series. The voice acting is less inspired, but there is a cheesy charm to dialogue such as, "I've got to stop this comet before it hits Earth." A highlight of each episode is a "Superman Family Album" segment that traces Superman's rambunctious (and not a little bratty) adolescence in Smallville. A bonus feature, "Corporation of the Corrupt: The Rise of Lexcorp," is geared toward older viewers as it places the evolution of Lex's character in historical context, from the fear-of-science '40s and '50s to the "greed is good" '80s. Beyond its obvious nostalgic appeal for those who fondly (or dimly) remember this short-lived series, this two-disc set comprising all 13 episodes fills a gap in the Superman universe. --Donald Liebenson

My first memory of what would become a life-long love of Superman is from watching episodes of this brief series on Saturday mornings when I was five years-old. I've thoroughly enjoyed reconnecting with these cartoons through these newly released DVDs. Each episode, while classically cheesy, is a kid- (and adult) accessible adventure with Clark, Lois, Jimmy, Luthor, and Supes. Based on the John Byrne relaunch of the Superman universe in 1986, each episode also features a "Superman Family Album" ... Read More

Somehow I completely missed this series growing up. I was addicted to SuperFriends as a kid and LOVED Superman the Animated Series as an adult, so when I read that this series was kind of a cross between the 2 I was excited. Unfortunately, it seems to have combined the worst of the 2 instead of the best.
In this series Lex Luthor is the recurring baddie. He's now an evil, yet respected businessman and throws all kinds of things Superman's way while keeping squeaky clean in the public eye. ... Read More

My husband desperately wanted these cartoons for Christmas. I found them easily on Amazon and they arrived at my doorstep before I even knew it. Wonderful seller I was very pleased and would order from them again. Thanks for the excellent service and wonderful product!

I have been waiting a long time for this set. So when it came out, I purchased multiple copies. Superman has never been drawn as well as this series. Like many cartoons from the 80's (ie. Pryde of the X-men, Inhumanoids, JEM, Visionaries, Super Powers: Galactic Guardians etc.), the character designs were very well done and this series was no acception. Superman has a hyper real, larger than life, comic book look, that most, if not all contemporary Super-Hero shows lack today.

This was always a tough Superman series to track down, even on the bootleg market. With only one season, it was never re-run anywhere that I know of and kind of forgotten.
The quality of the series was standard for its time. While the stories are a little more mature than the previous animated Superman incarnation in "Super Friends," it wasn't quite as groundbreaking "Batman: The Animated Series" (and later it's own Superman spin-off) which premiered a few years later.
