there’s a lot of competition among
animated superhero TV shows these ones
muscled their way to the top welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 animated
superhero TV series you see no more
doubt in yourself for this list we’re
focusing on animated TV series with a
superhero or superheroes as the star now
grab your cape and your sidekick and
let’s fight crime
number 10 Superfriends I shall now bring
the Drecker nights before the
interstellar tribunal to answer for
their crimes
meanwhile we’ll infiltrate the
underworld auction in disguise good luck
my friends I’m sorry I can’t join you
based on DC’s Justice League comics
hanna-barbera Super Friends follow
characters like Superman Batman and
Robin Wonder Woman and Aquaman as they
teamed up to fight crime pretty cool huh
sure it wasn’t the most brilliantly
executed superhero show but it ran an
astounding 13 years
as a result it’s a touchstone for a
whole generation of TV superhero fans so
what if the animation is sort of limited
and the stories are geared toward
younger audiences the joy and Wonder
that permeated Superfriends makes it a
fanboys favorite guilty pleasure I’m
using powers to warm the ship to a
decent temperature ah feels good Balkan
number nine Superman the animated series
mind if I borrow something
a big step up in the animation
Department Superman the animated series
breathed new life into the Man of Steel
while still respecting his iconic
origins
and in fact it’s now considered one of
the most authentic adaptations ever of
Superman by Professor you make it sound
like I go out looking for trouble Bruce
Timm took some inspiration from the
classic Fleischer cartoons but added a
distinctly modern twist hang on
oh you can count all the familiar cast
was there but the characterizations were
tweaked a bit the plots were clever the
writing sparkled the mood was mature and
most of all it was fun number eight The
Avengers
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes it took a while
to blue shoes but in 2010 The Avengers
finally assembled on TV in the right way
The Avengers
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes lived up to its
promise
Iron Man Giant Man Hulk Thor Captain
America and the rest presented the team
of any Marvel comic fans dreams yeah I’m
not so sure I want to be part of a team
I have to rescue every week throw in
some scripts drawn from classic comic
story lines like the kree-skrull war and
some powerfully slick animation and you
had a show that delivered a hell of a
lot of bang for its buck I told you not
to underestimate them number seven Young
Justice finally I was wondering what it
got had to do to get a little attention
around here with such a high quality
superhero series ever more poorly
handled than Young Justice was by the
Cartoon Network Bob down kid
oh please focusing on DC’s teenaged
foils of the Justice League Young
Justice was intricately plotted gripping
Lee directed and filled with action and
suspense
plus it featured three-dimensional
characters and emotion filled storylines
tell me something you haven’t told
anyone else tell me who broke your heart
Toula the girl I love chose my best
friend Garth over me while my best
friend on the surface world Ames an
arrow in my chest it even made a
five-year jump in time between seasons 1
and 2 work despite introducing a whole
new team into the picture today’s the
day welcome to the Hall of Justice
headquarters of the Justice League and
that takes Talent congratulations team
you have won the day
number six Teen Titans maybe we should
just go out for pizza boasting anime
influenced visuals Teen Titans brought
DC’s famed teenage team to the small
screen in big style Titans go Robin
Starfire cyborg Beast Boy and Raven
we’re a tight-knit family whose
relationships were as much a part of the
show’s success as the considerable
action we cannot change the truth no
matter how much we dislike it viewers
were thrilled to see fights with the
villainous Slade or the unstoppable
Trigon but it was cyborg and Beast Boy
joki camaraderie or Ravens inner turmoil
that kept them coming back a pint-sized
Poindexter took me for a joyride and in
case you haven’t noticed I just became
left-handed enough number 5 Justice
League Justice League Unlimited you
really think you can beat me I’m not
trying to beat you I’m trying to stall
you stall me for what
Justice League took the familiar faces
of Superfriends farm more seriously
initially focusing on DC’s big seven it
eventually expanded to include just
about every hero in the Canon crowded
yeah but somehow the creator’s made it
work there are so many reasons why that
shouldn’t work whether concentrating on
cataclysmic wars between worlds or on
simple matters like warrior hero Orion’s
dismissal of the happy-go-lucky flash
Justice League did everything with flair
and style so it blows and he doesn’t
even move and I say are you alright and
he says this is the best part
he says fine and you number for
spider-man the animated series Jason you
remember Peter Parker but of course
wonderful to see you again
Parker my spider-sense is going berserk
following Peter Parker and his superhero
self during his college years this
iteration of the webslinger story had
action
romance I love you and more action other
spider-man series like the spectacular
spider-man are worthy but spider-man the
animated series is even better it will
become a few minutes yes some corners
were cut in animation but the stories
characters and excellent voice cast made
up for that I want this this was also
one New York set series that lived and
breathed the feel of the Big Apple all
in all this is the webslinger as he’s
meant to be I’m gonna find out for
myself and you’re coming with me if
you’re lying you’re Peleus by your pal I
get the picture Wolfie but have you ever
thought of seeing the manicurist about
those things number three
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I don’t
know who you are but thanks you’re not
human
bingo yeah we’re dealing with a real
mind here it started out as a small
press parody comic book but the Ninja
Turtles phenomenon grew like wildfire
say your phrase titles and millions of
people know it mainly through this more
lighthearted series yeah we were trained
to fight people not can openers
Michelangelo Leonardo Donatello and
Raphael joked you want your shell
Donatello kicked punched and pizza their
way into the hearts of a whole
generation
oh boy in the front groaning icecream I
want some of the jellybeans and
mushrooms yeah give me a slice of
anchovies and peanut butter this is
seriously grossing me out and the show
still holds up today with solid writing
good performances and just enough
wackiness to entertain and for that
matter whoever heard of talking turtles
turtle power
indeed give me a slice of the bananas
and sausage brilliant number two x-men
the animated series you wouldn’t hit a
man with glasses would you
so take come on yeah the animation
wasn’t as smooth as some of the other
series produced at the same time man but
who cares x-men the animated series
brought Marvel’s incredible mutant
wonders to the small screen in a matter
that did them proud today begins a new
world for all of us
a world where we needn’t hide in corners
and crawl in here I don’t know what
corner you crawled out above but we
don’t find nuclear missiles all that
liberating after all who wouldn’t get
caught up in the TV versions of
unforgettable comic scenarios like the
awesome Dark Phoenix saga after
depositing the crystal in the Sun
this primal force returned to the later
series like x-men evolution are
worthwhile but they’re not classic like
this not Jean
only her body only her delicious Enoch
before we unmask our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions soon they will
know me soon they will beat me
you don’t want to do that
number one Batman the Animated Series
this dark deco cartoon burst onto the
screen in 1992 and set the standard for
every superhero show that came after I
still feel that somewhere inside that
monster is my old friend
boasting incredibly gorgeous visuals it
looked great and with its incomparable
voice cast it sounded great too fine but
it was Bruce Tim’s dark-hued approach
reflected in the writing that actually
made it great this was first class
superhero screenwriting why should I
tell you if you want to suffer in
silence that’s fine by me delivering
taught tales that gripped and never let
go it’s the best screen version of
Batman ever
