 | | Like the animated Superman series done a decade earlier, the creators of this show, Bruce Timm, Paul Dini and Alan Burnett, took their inspiration from the Max and Dave Fleischer cartoon series of the 1940s, and even went further with this concept, with a spare, simplified design, bright colors and confident lines. |
 | | Lois was played by Dana Delany, who had starred in the television series China Beach and in the film Tombstone, and Lex Luthor was played by Clancy Brown, an effective portrayer of villains, most notably Captain Hadley, the brutal prison guard in The Shawshank Redemption and the Kurgan in Highlander. |
 | | The show was a greater success than any animated version of Superman since the Fleischer films of the 1940s, and it continued on for several seasons, eventually culminating in the current WB series Justice League. |
