In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked you the following question:
Which Superman animated series is your favorite?
With close to 40% of the votes, the most popular Superman animated series is “Superman: The Animated Series” from the 1990s. It was a close vote for second position with “Justice League/Justice League Unlimited” just edging out the 1940s Fleischer Superman cartoons.

Wow, I can’t believe the Fleischer cartoons lost by so much!
I’m also continually astounded by how little-remembered Legion of Super-Heroes is. I don’t think anyone really actively dislikes it; most folks just don’t remember it exists.
I voted for the The Animated Series because its what got me into Superman again. But Legion of Superheroes was my favorite. Especially that last season with the Brainiac Arc (and with Corey Burton reprising his role nonetheless!!!) and that cliffhanger! It is most definitely under appreciated and deserve so much more credit and attention than it had/has.
Unfortunately it’s imposible to place more than one vote so I had to choose The Animated Series over Fleisher cartoon’s just because it is as good but lasted longer (in episodes, not in years) getting expanded to Justice League Unlimited.
But in terms of quality, they’re too close to choose one.
One good thing to add would be a point system. Sometimes one would choose more than one option and giving points to all of the options would give a much precise answer to those polls.
