Trivia

The new-look Brainiac debuted in this series. Brainiac's new look came about as a result of the decision to alter the character radically in time to celebrate the anniversary of ACTION COMICS, Superman's debut title. After his radical transformation, Brainiac appeared as essentially a big metal walking skeleton with a giant pink braincase containing his altered computer brain - the same altered appearance that he boasts on this show.

User Reviews

Working back up

After the previous (and disappointing) Super Friends series, this was a vast improvement. The stories were once again creative and adventurous. Gone from the show were boring and dull characters. Now, there were only characters who everyone loved, like Superman and Batman, to name a couple.
