I like the designs where he has actual eyes better.
 
I like the Fleischer, Ruby Spears, and Brave and the Bold appearance the best.
 
This.

I agree. However, I voted for the YJ design.
 
I thought it was about the character not physical appearence. In character TAS is the better by far!!!

Definitely. But even I admit he could've been portrayed stronger in that show.

You thought it was about character when the thread title specifically references design? :huh:
 
Not trying to hate but it would be nice if you posted in the OP all the photos of the animated Supermen so we knew what all of them looked like.

Just some advice.

that would've taken forever, and I'm too lazy to
 
Got to go with the design from the SHAZAM short, along with the design from YJ.

My dream would be to have the new DCAU be based off of the shorts, but, that ship has sailed it seems.
 
Which sucks, because Superman looks ****ing awful in the new continuity.
 
I can't understand why they just don't use the MOS design in the comics if they are SO adamant about the trunks not being there. It's a superior design to that high collared piece of crap Jim Lee design.
 
Wow, I really should've put the Shazam design on here. Everyone loves it
 
Superman TAS, followed by JL: Season 2/JLU are my favorite animation designs.

Superman: TAS is also my all time favorite Superman as far as story and characterization goes. My only complaint about his portrayal on the show is that I wish they made his power levels a bit higher than they were on the show, but I enjoyed the show anyway. (It was nothing to how depowered they made him in season 1 of JL at least...that was terrible)

I agree, I would MUCH rather have that than that Jim Lee disaster. The MOS suit oddly enough looks more like classic Superman than that New 52 travesty suit. The no collar/classic cape/exposed neck look and "M" boots are much better designs than what Jim Lee did, should've just left that alone.

No Legion of superheroes superman? people always seem to forget that LOSH was a superman cartoon through and through.
As for favorite superman animated version I have to say the Galactic Guardians version since is based on Jose Garcia Lopez's design (who happens to be my favorite superman artist of all time next to john Byrne).
 
I never cared for LOSH. Was hardly Superman to me after the first episode....wasn't too keen on the design either.
 
Although the project was canned, what about these cartoony Jose Garcia Lopez inspired (in terms of the bold colors) JLAers, the Superman in particular of course - what do you guys think? I'd have been fine with a show like this:

Just curious as to what some think of the style...?
 
Honestly.... It looks "cheap". Like for some flash type digital shorts availably on online or the like.
 
Kinda reminds me of something you might see in one of the DC Nation shorts (loved those, btw).

What was LOSH?

I was actually quite a fan of The Batman Superman look.
