Chad, you remind me that “all ages” (meaning truly appealing to multiple generations) is a rare thing. Too often it’s used interchangeably with “for kids”, but they aren’t the same thing. There’s nothing wrong with doing entertainment for kids that bores or isn’t otherwise appealing to adults. Trying to be all things to all audiences is a trap superhero content can fall into.

Anatole, great! Glad you found this writeup helpful.

My 6-year-old is currently watching SuperFriends volume something-or-other with Zan and Jayna (via Netflix), and loves it. I was disappointed that there were so few episodes available, so it’s good to know Volume Two is out.

2) parents who want to let their kids watch superheroes but are leery of the PG-13-rated material that’s being created now (such as older-skewing Batman: Under the Red Hood, which is one of the trailers on this set, although inappropriate for this audience) I fall into that category. It's great that there are so many superhero cartoons coming out these days, but I mostly find myself reaching back to the past for my young kids. For example, my kids love the old Filmation Batman cartoons with Adam West and Burt Ward. I can't stand them (and I love the Batman TV show), but they're harmless fun without some of the harsher aspects of many of today's cartoons. I will say that Marvel's Superhero Squad is a nice exception, as it'd explicitly geared toward younger kids.
