Sadly this is the last season of this great cartoon series. This is by far the darkest of all of the Superman seasons. The finale ("Legacy") is done brilliantly, ending the season on a rather bleak note. Additionally the last episode leads straight into the first episode of Justice League season 2. The JL episode does a fantastic job of continuing the dark tone set in the "Legacy". Highly recommended.

Great chapters of this series. There is nothing like seeing your favourite superheroe in a nice series, and nicely made. Great item for your collection.

"Lois, help! It's worse than kryptonite. My legs can't support this obscenely large hulking torso, when they draw me like this. It was so much easier in the Filmation days, when I had an even build."
"I know, Clark. They draw me like a stick insect midget. You look like the Hulk by comparison."
The only other disappointment in this series is that kryptonite needn't exist. Just about everything else affects Superman to some extent as well. In a commentary in Vol 1 or 2, the producer said, "you got no show, if you don't do that." (Superfriends writers Hanna-Barbera got half hour stories out of a fully invulnerable Supes).
BUT APART FROM THAT, IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT SHOW.
This set may confuse collectors who didn't buy vol 2. The DVD set releases are not grouped as seasons 1-3.
Vol 1 gives you the shorter season 1 and the first few episodes of Season 2.
Vol 2 gives you most of season 2.
Vol 3 (this one) gives you the last few eps of season 2 and the whole of season 3.
I particularly enjoyed the premier appearances of other DC characters not on tv before. Rather than take a chance on giving them their own shows, Warner came up with a brainstorm. Almost every second episode of Superman in this DVD set teams Superman up (in the comic book style of DC Comics Presents...) with another Super Hero, including 2 more Batman appearances (one with Tim Drake Robin), the New Gods, Aquaman (drawn much better than his half naked long haired nose ringed appearance in Justice League), Legion of Super Heroes, and the first tv appearance of the Kyle Rayner Green Lantern (all but ignoring Hal Jordan, but it's good to see Kyle).
The Legion story is set in Clark Kent's college years, before he became Superman, and adapts the premise for Legion of Super Heroes: They go into the past from the 30th Century to young Clark's time, and team with him. A great prototype for the Legion series that aired last year.
Also, if you're wondering what happened to Batman's enemies Ras Al Gul and Bane in his own series, you'll get your answers here in two team-ups with Superman. "Knight Time" adapts the long running Knightfall Batman plotline of the early 1990s, using Superman as Batman's stand-in, rather than Jean-Paul. "Demon Reborn" pits Ras against Superman and Batman, whose Worlds Finest relationship is developing at just the right pace to continue in Justice League season one.
Buy this one for sure,
Peter
