    Superman: The Animated Series
    Jul 8 2025

    This week, James Gunn’s Superman hits theaters and reintroduces the Man of Steel to a new era. But before you fly off to see the new movie, let’s revisit a version of Superman that’s often overlooked, but remains one of the most definitive takes on the character. Today on Toonology, we’re diving into Superman: The Animated Series. From the team behind Batman: The Animated Series, this show gave us a Superman full of hope, humility, and restraint... a hero who didn’t just punch problems away, but tried to understand them. We’ll explore its origins, standout episodes, greatest villains, lasting legacy, and why it’s still the gold standard for Superman stories almost 30 years later.

    In this episode of Toonology, we dive webs-first into one of the most influential superhero cartoons of the ‘90s — Spider-Man: The Animated Series. From its wild rogues’ gallery to the multiverse finale that beat No Way Home to the punch, this show shaped how an entire generation saw Peter Parker.

    We break down the history, the censorship battles, and how a surprisingly stacked voice cast (Mark Hamill as Hobgoblin??) helped elevate the series. I also talk about how this show juggled 5-season arcs, why John Semper Jr. is a name you should know, and what made Spider-Man: TAS one of Marvel’s most defining animated moments.

    There are no radioactive spiders in this lab. Welcome to Toonology!
