Animations pretty solid for the time but the dialogue and voice acting is just cringey this is probably the first cartoon to have have Lex Luthor as the rich Tech Guy versus the super smart Criminal

I just love it for what it is. I remember watching as a child and then later in life trying to find it without much luck.Until of all places Cracker Barrell had it on dvd. Yes it's a bit campy and most definitely made for children but I loved the design of Superman in this. Very comic book. Hope one day they do a remastered version . But it's great fun
