Superman: The Animated Series

Uh, he's Count Dooku and Cad Bane in the Star Wars franchise.

He's Brainiac in Superman: The Animated Series.

Did a, d- has done a ton of other stuff.

This was a really early role for him.

...

in Superman The Animated Series, I don't see-

I, I get your point.

Yeah.

There's been rumors that he'll have up to three different suits in the movie.

People are commenting that he may have a white suit, something similar to what we saw in Superman the Animated Series as far as a space suit of that kind, where you can have a helmet and breathe and that kind of thing.

That's all speculation at this point in time, folks.

There's been no actual confirmation from anywhere or any source that I've seen that there is three different suits or what have you.

because we're gonna we're gonna fight over this you know you're not snyder bros um but no you take out the drama of like exile where he's going into space and he has the oxygen tank and at one point it gets it gets damaged and he loses consciousness and that how that's how he ends up on war world Now, you can get there in different ways.

Like, he stumbled across Kryptonite.

But I always liked that that was kind of their compromise there, that it was a mask and everything, that he didn't need a full suit like he wore in Superman the Animated Series.

But again, that's more toyetic, and the comics don't really have to concern themselves with that.

Fantastic.

Bruce Timm at the height of his powers coming off Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series.

You get the whole Justice League.

You get Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman.

He's amazing.

Yeah.

Um, He really sounds like Tim Daly from the Superman the Animated Series.

So it's not really much of a shock getting into the new performer, but I think he nails it.

Joining me to talk about these is my good friend from across the pond.

He has been on the show before to talk about Superman: The Animated Series, and I have been on his show, And Why Not, a bunch of different times to talk about various things, some not involving superheroes.

And I'm not gonna call him Stuart Milligan-

[laughs]

Uh, I, it honestly is a lot like what Tim Daly would later do-

Yeah

... on Superman: The Animated Series, where it's just kind of a goofier Superman.

[laughs] Yeah, basically.

We'll see some sort of bundle first, and then we'll see like Paramount Plus stuff popping up on HBO Max, HBO Max stuff popping up on Paramount Plus.

And by stuff, I mean like, you know, the Superman the Animated Series.

I don't mean like big stuff.

And then within the next year, my theory, because David Ellison said this, is that HBO Max will be sunsetted and it'll be mixed into Paramount Plus, and then that'll just be called Skydance, Stream Skydance or some bullshit.

After KGBeast kills his father, Batman is revealed to be trudging through the snow on the way to the cabin.

Why is that? Because he's voiced by Michael York in Batman the Animated, or Superman the Animated Series.

That's right.

I forgot about that.

It's not old Jor-El.

It's, it's basically, I don't wanna say it's 1996 animated series Jor-El, where you have Christopher McDonald voicing the character in the Superman: The Animated Series cartoon, but it's, it's a young J- like, I think it's cool.

I think it's great.

I don't see any issue with it here because you have a young mother and father taking care of their kid and their dog.

Oh my God, what in the hell is going on now? Don't you dare.

Like, uh, how dare you? And I like how we're seeing Krypto's journey throughout.

Like, it's, again, like we mentioned earlier, it's like you're taking Superman: The Animated Series, even though this isn't that, but it's like you're taking that origin, twisting it, making Krypto the main character instead of Kal-El/Clark, and figuring out how he would f- figure out his powers, figure out where he needs to go, and it's all through the lens of a dog's eye.

It's all through the mind of a dog and figuring that out.
