Millä vuosikymmenellä Teräsmies esiintyi ensimmäisen kerran animaatioissa?
Originally producer Bruce Timm wanted the show to have a more 1940s Fleischer Studios "Superman"-cartoon feel. Another original character design sheet showed the characters in a stylised 1950s style (not unlike that of the live-action "Adventures of Superman" TV series), suggesting that the producers also considered setting the series during that period, or possibly ending up like "Batman: The Animated Series" (set during modern times, but with an Art Deco feel) or as the producers said Gotham was Art Deco with Gothic elements, Metropolis was "Ocean Liner Deco". As with the first season of "Batman", the opening theme sequence of "Superman" lacked an on-screen title. Also like "Batman", the opening theme for "Superman" lacked any lyrics, instead being an instrumental piece played over various scenes from the series. Koko Enterprise Co., LTD., TMS-Kyokuchi Corporation and Dong Yang Animation Co., LTD contributed some of the animation for this series.
