Trivia

The producers of the first season of Batman - The Animated Series patterned their artistic style in the tradition of the old Fleischer Superman episodes.

In 2001, the comic character, Superman, briefly changed his chest emblem to reflect the red-on-black style used in the 1940s Fleischer cartoons.
