Style can go a long way in making even a limited animation series (done on fours rather than twos) look superior. Recent examples of this include Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack and Clone Wars, which all share one common denominator: Genndy Tartakovsky.
It probably helped too that they didn't depict Batman and Superman as whiny little men-bitches who want to throw in the towel every time they get a paper cut or stub their toe or some other accident befalls them, which is what Peter Parker seemed to do almost every other episode after a while of the DIC-1994 cartoon. Angst can be fun when done right, but the '94 show made their angst too absurd and repetitive.
