In the beginning, there were
DC Comics heroes, and it was good. Then there were the
Super Friends and
similar shows, and the public was exposed to some of their favorite heroes in animation for the first time. In
The Nineties we were introduced to them all over again with the
DC Animated Universe. Now we have the next era of animated excitement for Batman, Superman, and company. The
DC Universe Original Animated Movies have the
advantage of having independent continuities so the creators can experiment with new voice actors, art styles, and so forth.
Now, the videos have
DC Showcase, a companion series of shorts featuring lesser known characters such as
The Spectre,
Jonah Hex,
Green Arrow, and
Captain Marvel (though Marvel's short features him teaming-up with
Superman).
