[quote name=\'davemackey\' date=\'Jan 24 2004, 10:15 AM\'] The 1960's "Superman"/"Superboy cartoons were indeed produced by Filmation Studios, under the supervision of their longtime producers Norm Prescott and Lou Scheimer and director Hal Sutherland. Filmation also did similar series for Batman and Aquaman under the same DC Comics license. (Eventually, DC took the license to Hanna-Barbera, which premiered "Super Friends" in 1973.)
You are probably thinking of the 1960's Marvel Heroes cartoons, which were done by two separate units - one headed by Steve Krantz and Ralph Bakshi, the other by Bob Lawrence, Ray Patterson and Grant Simmons. [/quote]
But to add to the confusion, Filmation was able to license the Batman and Robin characters to produce a new version in the late 1970s (running as part of an hour with Tarzan, plus a lot of other incarnations)--and the show ran concurrently with SUPERFRIENDS (obviously on different networks). At least here, Adam West and Burt Ward voiced the characters (Olan Soule and Casey Kasem doing the honors on SUPERFRIENDS).
Man, did I love those Marvel cartoons! While I got the SPIDER-MAN tapes via E-Bay, the quality isn't the greatest. I understand Canada's Teletoon network has shown these cartoons recently (in much cleaner quality). ABC Family dusted off a few episodes last year, but the video quality was very disappointing.
