The background and abilities for these characters will be as in the animated series, not the original comic book source (for example, Supergirl is an alien from the same system as Krypton, not an earth-born angel; Captain Atom is an energy being in a containment suit, rather than a time-jumping soldier in a Quantum Shell).
Superhumans are not treated with universal scorn and distrust, however some superhumans have recieved such treatment for their actions (see: Batman).
The characters, in general, are less powerful in the animated series than in the comics, making it fairly easy to build most heroes on 350 points.

 Superman Fan & Collectors Convention of Hawaii
Introduced to us in 1992, the DC animated universe as envisioned by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, Batman: The Animated Series became an Emmy award winning show that helped to reshape the Dark Knight as well introduce a new character that would be popular enough to cross-over into the comics.
By the third season, the show changed its name to Justice League Unlimited, the team had grown to encompass much of the DC universe in general and the adventures scaled back to mainly one episode stories.
The introduction of so many new characters admittedly detracted from the original seven but fans of the DC universe got a chance to see many obscure favorites animatedÂ…something that may not have happened if not for the JLU series.

Heading the forces of darkness was Skeletor, the evil hooded skull face, residing on the dark side of the planet in his powerful fortress, Snake Mountain.
Particularly note-worthy is that each episode ended with one or two of the characters presenting a moral from that episode's tale - the consequences of thoughts & actions, which makes the series particularly relevant given the times we live in.
It seems using the term "Masters of the Universe" was an early issue because it was not clear if the masters were the good guys or the bad guys.

 The DCU - Television Tropes & Idioms
The DC Universe, spawned from many, many years of continuity from DC Comics, is also the setting of a number of TV series.
Generally speaking The DCU is set apart (from the Marvel Universe, anyway) by a marginally more lighthearted tone, a congenial "community" of superheroes, clear-cut division between heroes and villains, and a general populace that is more or less trusting of its caped watchmen.
A subset of The DCU is the Diniverse, consisting of Batman The Animated Series and every other series that takes place in the same universe.

 The Trek BBS: The DC Animated Universe
Which means that modern animation is more watchable by adults than it would have been if the violence level was toned down to say the G.I. Joe levels of the '80s where everybody shoots a load, but no one ever gets hit, wounded, much less killed.
I always thought it was a stylistic choice on the part of the producers to have the animation look like it came out of the '40s or '50s or something, to blend in with that atmosphere they created in the design of the show.
Part 1 was animated by Akom, one of the very worst animation studios working in TV at the time, and it was crude and clunky.

They expect the books to sell well compared to the regular DC line, perhaps outsell some of the DCU versions the way several Ultimate books do at Marvel, and to perhaps bring back some old readers who have drifted away from the company as the characters became less and less familiar to them.
Ever since the debut of Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, fans around the world have been able to follow the animated version of the DC universe through five different television series.
But DC is not really interested in publishing them at this time and they’ve got the license, which makes it tough.

 Welcome To Dynamic Forces
Bruce Timm was also a veteran of "Tiny Toon" and several other animated shows; ironically, he had tried to obtain employment at both DC and Marvel a few years earlier and was rejected by both.
The animation style stayed fairly well consistent between the two shows, however, making it clear to eager viewers that they were seeing another area of a shared DC universe.
While the show features animated DCU characters, the rendering style and certain continuity differences make it a questionable fit with the rest of the Dini/Timm ‘canon’, but the show has been an unquestionable hit and a favorite among many DCU fans.

She is one of the rare characters to have originated in an animated series and thereafter been added to the comic book continuity, as opposed to the other way around (other examples are Livewire, Renee Montoya, Mercy Graves, and Marvel's Firestar and X-23).
Quinn's DC Universe comic book origin, revealed in Batman: Harley Quinn (October 1999), is largely an adaptation of her animated origin from the Batman Adventures: Mad Love graphic novel.
She is next seen in the DC Universe in the Villains United Infinite Crisis Special, where she is one of the many villains who escape from Arkham.
