Great Job, super-Hero!!!

Now let's discuss those skyscrapers you've punched your advesary through.
Is there something I don't know about the world portrayed in the clip. 'Cause otherwise I don't get how Superman thinks that this is finally a situation where he can cut loose since the isn't anyone nearby that his superstrong ass-kicking could hurt.

That was made before September 2001, yes?

Yep, it even has its own trope. Good stuff. I keep meaning to get around to watching that show...

It's indeed cool to see Darkseid get smacked around, but I prefer the cimactic scene from the original Dini & Timm Superman cartoon where Supes goes to Apokolips, goes on a roaring rampage of revenge that basically tears the entire place apart and then gets into the most vicious fight I've ever seen in kid's animation which ends with him quite literally blowing the back of Darkseid's head off.

And then the scene goes from victorious to the depths of despair with these few words: "I am many things, Superman. But here, I am God." And it works so well, and who would have dared to end a Superman animated series, of all things, on such a down note?
