What are the similarities and differences between Superman in the comics and Superman in animated tv series?

I'm doing a project for my Mythology class on the evolution of Superman and I can't seem to find much on the similarities and/or differences between the versions of Superman in comics and the versions of him in different animated tv series.





Help?


If you can, sources would be much appreciated. :)|||Basically all non-Comic versions reset his arrival so that their story is set in or around the present.


I.e. Smallville had a 3yr old Clark land in 1989,


while Lois and Clark had him land as an infant in 1966


Superman The animated Series never really established dates, for the present or the past,


JLU followed the same rules using the 90 years in the future for the Batman Beyond centric Epilogue episode





the scope and scale of his powers varies across all Media, even within the comics depending on the writer and the needs of the story





another more subtle change is that Canonically Superman should have blue eyes, but live action projects neverexclusivelyy cast for it, so he's had both Brown (L%26amp;C) and Green(Smallville)





other variables are Villain origins and back stories


Lex has been...


a mad scientist,


criminal genius,


Billionaire Industrialist,


Politician,


Scientist / Billionaire,


and his own clone posing as his son.





some of these were progressive changes through the story, others ret-cons or rewrites to modernize him





Bizzarro has been


A failed Clone (either by Lex, or generic scientist)


parallel Universe Superman


and Alien Villain / phantom (who copied his DNA)





Lois' father has been


Scientist


General


even a Journalist himself I believe





Lex's father has been


A petty criminal


Billionaire


upper Middle class





Lois has been


either a terrible speller, or an exceptional one


Known martial arts or not


been a decent cook or couldn't boil water





really it can change anywhich way depending on what the writers need for the story they're telling Wiki is a fairly good catalog of all the changes, but double check just to be safe|||There are several differences between the comic depiction and animated depictions but for the most part the animated and live action portrayal of superman show him being much weaker than the comic book incarnation the origins may also be slightly different. One thing that usually isnt taken in to consideration is the fact that in the comics there a many alternate reality versions of superman some which greatly differ from the mainstream and that also have varying abilities, in fact they have rewritten his powers and origins so many times there is yet to a single definitive origin for him but they are soon to be releasing a new series that will give the final version of his origin.
