The adventures of [[Superman]], only animated by [[Bruce Timm]]. It was the first animated incarnation of the Man of Steel since a failed 1989 series.

Generally, the Superman in the cartoon was changed slightly from his comic book incarnation, he wasn't nearly as big a [[dick]], his powers were reduced to a level that while formidable, didn't make the battles completely one-sided, and he wasn't excessively preachy like other versions of the character. His rouges gallery was equally varied, ranging from classic standby's like [[Lex Luthor]] to cosmic threats like [[Darkseid]] to bizzare opponents like a giant [[monkey]]. In his spare time, Superman worked at the Daily Planet with [[Jimmy Olsen]] and [[Lois Lane]], neither as goofy as their Silver Age versions.

S:TAS proved to be rather popular, reviving interest in a character many had considered boring or irrelevant in the age of [[Spawn]] and [[anime]]. This success would lead to Bruce Timm's next show and arguably one of his more ambitious projects, [[Justice League]].
