Young Justice probably has my favorite character designs for basically every (especially Hawkman).

The constast almost-closed eyes give a great feel to his facial expressions.

Cool!! I think the Fleischer cartoons had great animation even by today's standards. Realistic too

In all honestly, I haven't particularly liked any animated Superman design enough to call any of them my favorite.

Its mostly due to the weird theme when animating him. I mean just about all of them have him with a giant torso and tiny (in comparison) legs. It just looks awkward.

The Young Justice one doesn't do this - at least not as obvious as other designs - but I'm not a fan of the red underwear/speedo on the costume.

@fallschirmjager: Giant Torso and Skinny legs? you must be referring to the Justice League designs.

To disprove your theory, here's a great image of a proportionate Superman in his solo series:

@ganon15: "Just about" all. He looked like that in both movies, iirc.

And I also mentioned I don't like red underwear/speedos....

@fallschirmjager: Ah, but here he had black underwear with a red highlight, so it's red but not really red.

I personally liked the design in Superman: TAS. But it was also the first Superman I was introduced to, so I'll always like that one more than others.

@thecannon: Same here. It'll always be my favorite design of him. It's like the Max Fleischer design with a modern twist.

@fallschirmjager: So you find the Man of Steel design best?

New 52. Man of Steel was good, but the New 52 has a red belt to give the color scheme balance. MoS was a tad dark without it.

@fallschirmjager: Ah, well I've grown up with the classic red-underwear Supes so that's the way I've always liked him.

@ganon15: I grew up with that scheme as well, but I've never liked the underwear on him - or anyone. It was always silly to me. My opinion /shrug

@fallschirmjager: Underwear outside look? silly and very 1930's-like, but it's what I'm used to seeing on superheroes.

I really like TAS/JL/JLU design. Not because I think it's the best but because it was my first.

@ganon15: The designs are ultimately the same. JL/JLU is just more refined than Batman and Superman.
