In the beginning, there were DC Comics heroes, and it was good. Then there were the Superfriends and similar shows, and the public was exposed to some of their favorite heroes in animation for the first time. In The Nineties we were introduced to them all over again with the DC Animated Universe. Now we have the next era of animated excitement for Batman, Superman, and company. The DC Universe Original Animated Movies have the advantage of having independent continuities so the creators can experiment with new voice actors, art styles, and so forth.
Now, the videos have DC Showcase, a companion series of shorts featuring lesser known characters such as The Spectre, Jonah Hex, Green Arrow, and Captain Marvel (though Marvel's short features him teaming-up with Superman).
