Superman: The Animated Series, Volume Two, the second of the series' three season run, continues the modern telling of the American myth Superman. Where the first season focuses on introducing Superman, Metropolis, and a few key bad guys, season two is all about the villains. A few key villains return, including Lobo, series favorite Metallo (voiced by Malcolm McDowell), and of course the evil genius Lex Luthor. But what defines season two is the introduction of new villains such as Superman's evil twin Bizarro (in "Identity Crisis" and "Bizarro's World"), Livewire (voiced by Tank Girl herself Lori Petty), and Luminus (voiced by Airplane!'s Robert Hays). Also new to the series is Mr. Mxyzptlk in one of the best episodes of the series, "Mxyzpixilated," starring the great Gilbert Gottfried as the quirky, interdimensional leprechaun. One of the series' highlights is the three-part episode "World's Finest." This trilogy is a great cross-over story with guest appearances from the other popular DC animated series Batman. Here the man of steel joins forces with the caped crusader to fight Gotham's arch villains the Joker (played by Mark Hamill) and Harley Quinn, who have recently teamed up with Metropolis's Lex Luthor in a plot to kill Superman. Superman: The Animated Series, Season Two is a sharp telling of the Superman story and not to be missed. --Rob Bracco

 Superman the Animated Series Vol. # 2 December 27, 2008
Bernardo Rivera, Jr.
If you like superheroes you have to like Superman because he stands for truth, justice and the american way. Since he first came on tv either in live, animated or in comic book. He always find a way to beat the bad guy. And watching this dvd you can see why. He shows a side that few even knows about such as stand up for a friend or just helping out a person in need, he will be there.
 Great content. Lousy DVD/Package design and quality control of DVDs December 9, 2008

The episodes in this volume are top-notch. Unfortunately, Warner Brothers Video went the cheap route (again) and Disc 2 and Disc 3 are on opposite sides of the same disc. This may or may not have been the reason, but after the first play of Disc 3, it would no longer play (or even be recognized) on any of my DVD drives (a Panasonic DVD-R, a Panasonic DVD Player, a Toshiba DVD-R PC drive, a Panasonic DVD-R PC drive and an external Panasonic DVD-RAM PC drive (which normally plays DVDs just fine). There's no visible damage to the DVD surface. It just won't play.
I wrote WB Customer Service and eventually got a response saying my e-mail had been forwarded to corporate, but I have not heard anything after that.
I'm well past my return window for returning to Amazon without paying postage plus a 15% restocking fee, so unless Warner Brothers corporate eventually gets back to me, I guess I'll just have to shell out the bucks to get a replacement set.
Update: Warner Brothers Video sent me a pre-paid postage label, so I sent it back, and they quickly turned around and sent me a new set that worked just fine. I'm very impressed with their customer service.

I applaud this release of "SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES - VOLUME TWO". The first volume was amazing, but this one exceeds that and more. In this second set of episodes, we learn much more about Superman, along with his various friends and enemies. Most entertaining and interesting is the introduction of Mr. Mxyzptlk in "MXYZPIXILATED" and the Joker (usually a Batman villain) to the series in "WORLD'S FINEST". This series still, even though it has long since been cancelled off the air (except for syndication), proves to be a great homage to the Superman universe, and to comic books in general. It is an excellent example of outstanding ideas, insight, animation, action, a bit of romance, and suspense. Below is a list of episodes contained in this two-disc set.
