Overall, I think the show struck the appropriate tone for Superman, especially when compared to a darker animated series like Batman. However, I will say that the series ended on a surprisingly dark note. The episodes dealing with Darkseid were very dark. |

Zack Snyder was quoted on Ain't It Cool as saying that the stories about General Zod being the villain in the new film are not true. The main problem with Superman Returns is that it didn't have enough action so they have to give Superman more to do this time. And please, no more 'Superkid' subplots.

I can see how casting Michael Keaton as Batman might have raised a few eyebrows back in 1988 or whenever it was announced.

He was also rather short to be Batman. He turned out ok in the end though.

There are people today still consider Keaton as the real Batman.

Johnny Depp was considered. He would have been about 25 at the time.

How would Batfans react if Bruce Wayne was to have a ponytail in Batman '89?
