If you’re looking for an animated adventure to watch, here are the thirty best superhero cartoons of the last thirty years. And since 1992, with the one-two punch of the revolutionary Batman: The Animated Series and X-Men, we’ve gotten a nice helping of them.

How does one translate what’s effective on a comic-book page to a world of flesh, blood, and Chris Hemsworth? In short, it’s a constant battle of: “Is this gonna look dumb?” Cartoons, on the other hand, might be the most natural format for the superhero adaptation, providing a more liberating canvas and allowing for all manner of fantastic derring-do without the limiting factor of having to stuff real people in the frame. Live-action superhero efforts are a precarious balancing act.
