Peace on Earth

December 5th: 20 days and counting…

Superman is the first of the superheroes, custodian of truth, justice and the American way courtesy of two scrawny Ohio kids. Yet he was four years later than Batman in making his animated Fox TV debut, appearing Sept. 6th, 1996.

In the wake of Batman’s success, Fox execs tapped the Man of Steel for his own animated show. Its final episode aired Feb. 12th, 2000.

Midway through the show’s run, it was combined with the New Batman Adventures to form The New Batman/Superman Adventures. The series further cemented an animated universe including guest stars Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl. Not coincidently, Justice League Unlimited spun off the series.

This Warner store exclusive was another late 1990s offering selling for a mere $8, less than $16 today.
