DVD Reviews of Superman - The Animated Series, Volume Three (DC Comics Classic Collection)DVD Review: Don' buy this for the coupon, but for the episodes! Summary: 5 Stars
In case you don't know what I'm talking about, "Superman, the Animated Series: Volume 3" and "Superman: Brainiac Attacks" both come with a free movie pass to see "Superman Returns" on theaters.
Anyway, some reviewers have ranked this product low because their box-set did not come with the free movie pass. I don't know how this could have happened because I myself received the free movie pass inside the DVD case. Also, I really would not mind not receiving the free movie pass because I bought this for the episodes. Who would spend about $20.00 on this just because it came with a free movie pass? It's cheaper at the theaters! Like anyone who actually likes and enjoys watching Superman, I bought this because it contains the final 18 episodes of the animated television series.....not because it's supposed to contain a free movie pass!!! Plus - correct me if I'm wrong, but usually animated series end up being better than the live-action movies. Remember "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" (great animated movie) and "Batman & Robin" (bad live-action movie). I'm not saying that "Superman Returns" is going to stink (I actually look foward to seeing it), but I'm just saying that you really, really, really should purchase this final superman box-set because it concludes the series we all loved as a kid.
Like I said before, the episodes are absolutely great, and they should be the true meaning on why you're spending your money on this product. Here are the episodes included on this box-set, a short description of them, along with the grade that I give them.

Overall, these episodes are fantastic! If you like Superman, or if you like Batman, or if you like comic books, or if you like The DC Animated Universe, or if you like good quality animation, or if you like old and great telivision shows, or even if you don't like any of these wonderful things - buy "Superman, the Animated Series: Volume 3." This is the kind of show that will be enjoyed by parents and children for centuries! With great plots, complex characters, and awesome action - this is definitely (without doubt) one of the best things that you can buy in the ENTIRE amazon.com website! Trust me. If you're looking for something good to buy, this it it!
Note: The "Apokolips...Now" 2-parter and the "Legacy" 2-parter as well as the episode "Unity" might be too strong for little children, in some parts.
