World Favourite Animated Superman design

[ganon51]

I love character designs in 80s cartoons

I think he looks too big

 

[Young Superman]

I love the design of Superman from the Robb Pratt made "Superman Classic" shorts. These are the most beautifully animated Superman cartoon since the 1940's Fleischer cartoons.

Interesting how Fleischer's design is second only to STAS, and only by 6 votes.

Love this! I'd watch this in a cartoon series.



That supes is just endearing for some reason. I also love how they made him move in the animation. Impressive for those days and very similar to how I imagine superman moving.

That's because Fleischer studios had an animation crew that was of a level equal to Disney at that time.

Those are the 2 best designs imo

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I think he looks too big

His shoulders are kinda wide
But the design looks mostly fine

 

[B:TAS]

Voted for the Fleischer look. I find it is a very lasting look, and is the look I grew up with!

 

[Young Superman]

Is it just me or does the Superman from The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians cartoon look somewhat like Christopher Reeve?

He does!

I went with TAS. Partly due to sentiment, but mostly because I personally cannot effing stand seeing the whites of the eyes or the pupils being drawn in. I stopped with the animated stuff when that happened. Wonder Woman was the only one on whom those details looked good to me.

BTW, that's not a knock on the quality of the DCAU. LOVE it. Just a odd little pet peeve I have.

Which Wonder Woman?

The Superman suit was awful on JL TAS, but perfect in STAS. The changes were unnecessary.

I couldn't agree more. The problem was a few things; they made his torso so huge he looked like Johnny Bravo at times, he was drawn less consistently, and his colours were duller, not to mention his shoulder edges were more squared:

Had they left the STAS design alone and used it for JL and JLU that would've been perfect.

I really think that the Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Supes looks like a more realistic version of the STAS design:

 

[Young Superman]

I really like the design of Superman from the Superman: Origins 3D Animated Fanfilm.

The Brainiac design is great too.

And here's the trailer.

[LEVITIKUZ]

That Brainiac design is good but Brainiac's head....

He looks like a Stormtrooper and not a main villain. Where's his face?!?!?!

Agreed, love this design.

Young Justice

 

[Young Superman]

I'd love too see this look animated.

 

[ganon51]

Agreed, love this design.

Almost makes me wish I put it in its own category

Fleisher's has always looked awesome to me.
