For DC Shows My Adventures with Superman is a great spin on the character. Not everyone is comic accurate but the vibe of Superman is dead on.

Also the DCAU is pretty good starting with Justice League War. It’s a pretty comic accurate retelling of the first volume of Justice League New 52

Don't listen Yasheen, Justice League War sucks. If you want good recommendations, check out Flashpoint, Batman Under the Hood and JL Doom.

For Marvel: Hulk vs Wolverine, Spider Man 1992 and Ultimate Avengers

For Marvel, heavily recommend both Spectacular Spider-Man (the best Spidey cartoon by far) and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (the one and only good animated Avengers thing). Both series aren't that long-running, btw.

For DC, Batman: The Animated Series is simply the most consistently great incarnation of Batman in any medium imo. Ofc some comic arcs may be of similar or even superior quality, but the overall consistency in comics is just not great as a rule of thumb.

It's also essential to watch Mask of the Phantasm. Probably right after B:TAS. What a gem of a film.

The New Batman Adventures (TNBA) acts as basically the final season of B:TAS despite kinda being separate from it. I'm not a big fan of it, tbh, but if you're gonna watch the amazing Batman Beyond show (part of the DCAU, so same continuity as B:TAS), you are gonna need to give it a watch to have all the context.
