==Home media==
A DVD titled ''Superman: The Last Son Of Krypton'', compiling the first 3 episodes of the series was released on February 3, 2004. Much like ''Batman: The Animated Series'' and other Warner Bros. cartoons adapted from popular DC Comic books, ''Superman: The Animated Series'' was released on DVD January 25, 2005, though it did not receive the same disc transfer as ''Batman'' did (the second disc of each volume was given the Side A/B treatment). The DVDs present the series' episodes in their airing order along with special features. Volume Two was released on December 6, 2005, and Volume Three was released on June 20, 2006. On November 24, 2009, [[Warner Home Video]] released ''Superman: The Complete Animated Series'', a 7-disc boxed set that includes all 54 episodes of the series as well as extensive bonus features.<ref name="tvshowsondvd1">{{cite web |url=http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Superman-Animated-Series-The-Complete-Series/12439 |title=Superman: The Animated Series DVD news: Press Release for Superman: The Animated Series – The Complete Animated Series |publisher=TVShowsOnDVD.com |access-date=2011-01-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100611181246/http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Superman-Animated-Series-The-Complete-Series/12439 |archive-date=June 11, 2010 |df=mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title= Superman: The Animated Series Volume One|work= DVD Talk|url= http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/14326/superman-the-animated-series-volume-one/|access-date=2010-08-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title= Superman: The Animated Series Volume Two|work= DVD Talk|url= http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/20133/superman-the-animated-series-volume-two/|access-date=2010-08-16}}</ref> On October 26, 2021, Warner Bros.

A direct-to-DVD feature, ''[[Superman: Brainiac Attacks]]'' was released in 2006, although it is not considered to be part of DCAU continuity, despite featuring the same character designs as ''Superman: The Animated Series'', as well as both [[Tim Daly]] and [[Dana Delany]] reprising their voice roles as Superman and Lois Lane, respectively.

"Apokolips...Now!" was later altered from its original airing on February 7, 1998. Originally, [[Dan Turpin]]'s funeral was a homage to [[Jack Kirby]] and featured several of his comic creations as attendees to the funeral including [[Nick Fury]], the [[Fantastic Four]], [[Big Barda]], [[Mister Miracle|Scott Free]], [[Orion (character)|Orion]] and others, alongside Kirby's friends and fans [[Mark Evanier]], [[Bruce Timm]], [[Paul Dini]], [[Alex Ross]], his father Norman Ross, and [[Stan Lee]]. These characters were later removed and the scene pacing was re-edited for subsequent airings and its DVD release on ''Superman: The Animated Series'' Volume 3 Disc 3. Neither DC nor Warner ever commented on the decision to alter this particular scene, but it has been speculated that copyright issues regarding the use of the likenesses of [[Marvel Comics]] characters and the long-time rivalry between the two companies might have motivated the deletion. When ''Superman: The Animated Series'' was released on [[HBO Max]] and [[Blu-ray]] in 2021, the original version was used.
