EDIT: THERE HAS BEEN AN EDIT. A FEW LATE ENTRIES CAUSED SOME PIECES OF THE LIST TO SHIFT. If you saw this list shortly after it was posted, refresh your page because the contents have changed.

Hey hey hey (a la What's Happening). The list has been completed nerds. Some surprises may follow... friends will be made... loves will be lost... and Tom Hanks will likely win the Oscar. Well hopefully I've completely lost you at this point, so let's get to the list. Oh, I also decided to extend this list to ten.

So that's the results. Anyone surprised by anything? I'm honestly surprised TAS didn't top the list, but JLU is just as awesome. Well thanks your checking it out and voting, and as always, I'm taking suggestions for future lists.

The list has been edited due to some late entries.

yeeeahh

Never heard of the top 1 (Justice league unlimited). Will definitely recommend it to my kids.

Loved Batman TAS, if JLU is at that level, I may even watch it with them.

@bullpr: It's on Netflix! It's very similar to Justice League, but they added dozens of other heroes to the team.

Cool. :)

Not a bad list

I'm definitely old. They know it. They watched all of it (including this afternoon...).

Question from them: isn't Darkseid too depowered in the series?

@bullpr: Obviously yeah. But all characters on the show are depowered.

Didn't know JL & JLU were being counted separately. Glad to see JLU win though. Hate seeing Batman Beyond only at 9.

@thecannon: Yeah I probably should've made a note at the beginning that they're the same show.

Ok. But to be more precise:

"Yes, we know this show. But sometimes it's strange, for example, when Superman punched Darkseid, he should have broke his wrist."

@bullpr: If I had to guess, these animated series that are aimed for kids always give the upper hand to the hero. You'll barely ever see an episode where the villain actually has a chance to succeed.

Ok. It makes sense. But you just killed the show for me.

Batman TAS for the WIN!!! (I can't believe it lost)

Spider-man: The Animated Series.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

@symbioticspider-man: hahah it was at 11 until the very last entry.

I'm surprised JLU won!!!! but awesome!!!!! ANd I voted for JL/JLU together.

I'm surprised Static Shock came so low

I'm pretty surprised that Batman The Animated Serie is not not number 1. I still think it's the best one. JLU is number 2 for me though.

I'm surprised that Young justice made number 3, Teen Titans have been better as for me.

Superman The Animated Serie was cool too. Why isn't it in the top ten ?!? ;( :)

The rest is ok.

I like this list

I'm sad X-Men: evolution didnt make it, but good list. how did you count the votes of the people who voted for JLU, and JL together?

Damn, if only I spotted the voting thread. Although I agree with JLU being 1st, I would have liked Batman: Brave and the Bold, The Batman and Wolverine and the X-Men to at least be listed as honourable mentions.

@matthewparker: if they were grouped then I gave the points to jlu because it had already been receiving more votes

Sad not to see Green lantern in the top ten since it's my #1. Also if this list were done a little later Beware the Batman might have been on it since it's pretty much finished.

Ah yes, JLU/Batman Tas/Superman TAS, the essence of my childhood!

Yep, seems legit.

Spectacular Spider-Man is way too low IMO. Would have had Avengers EMH in the top three too.

Still a cool list.

Great list, missed the voting round.

Same here. I don't really see why JLU beat Justice League. Sure, it has more characters, but it became that much less focused.

Happy to see Green Lantern: The Animated Series was an honorable. The show started off enjoyable, but the final stretch was amazing.

Avengers EMH > Young Justice > Teen Titans

But other then that this is a pretty good list.
