The animated history of Superman is much older than Batman but smaller. I am not counting Justice League nor Superfriends.

Superman: The Animated Series (1996-2000)
Superman: The Animated Series (STAS) was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and originally aired on The WB Television Network from September 6, 1996 to February 12, 2000. The series was the first of several spin-offs of the acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series, and was equally praised for its thematic complexity, quality animation, maturity and modernization of its title character. Tim Daly provided the voice.
The New Batman/Superman Adventures (1997-2000)
It was a package series that combined STAS with The New Batman Adventures that aired from 1997–2000 on Kids' WB. Each half-hour episode in the hour and one half block, featured either a single repeat from the original Superman run, the original B:TAS, or a brand new story featuring Batman made specifically for this series. The two animated universes were united in the Superman episode "World's Finest", which tells the story of Batman and Superman's first meeting. New Superman episodes that later aired in the Fall 1998 season and onward are now considered to be the third season of Superman: The Animated Series.
