Should be called the "Parents Raise Their Kids Instead Of Plopping Them Down In Front Of The TV All Day Because It Keeps Them Quiet" Rating. We have enough censorship issues as it is. Slapping a label on something doesn't mean anyone under the "appropriate" age is going to become a criminal deviant just by watching it. Ratings are such bullsh*t. I miss the '80s, when people were responsible, parents knew what their kids were into, and we had cursing and naked tits in PG movies and nobody pitched a damn fit about it.
Anyways... Superman, obviously. Batman gets 3 shows for every one that Superman gets. Not counting the Justice League shows, where he was by necessity really under-powered and under-used, or Super-Friends, which was also an ensemble (and also under-powered and under-used there as well), he only had three shows: The '60s Filmation series, the short-lived Ruby-Spears show which only ran for 13 episodes because it cost too much to make, and the awesome 1990s series.
Batman, Spider-Man, and the X-Men all get a new show seemingly every 5 years or so, while Superman gets one every 20 years or so, and that's ridiculous. Since it's more or less impossible to do a really good live-action Superman series (doing it right would cost a bazillion dollars), you'd think animation would be a no-brainer.
Of course, if it would have to be CGI like the new TMNT, Green Lantern and Batman shows, then skip it. It's not that I dislike it in all of the shows I mentioned, but... I don't *like* it, either. It would never, ever be my first choice for an animated series, but in GL it kind of made sense only because that world is so fantastical and sci-fi. But I don't like the look of the new Batman show and I don't think I'd like a Superman series done that way, either.
