I must have missed that. I'm surprised D hasn't gotten it from Netflix. The last Spidey cartoon I watched regularly was Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.

But I liked how cohesive it ended up being, with little things from previous issues popping up later. It was rather clever in that way.
Did he say, "I'm the Gosh Darn Superman"?
No. Nor did anyone pop in and say, "I'm the gosh darn Middleman."
All-Star Superman was an intense little series, out of continuity from the rest of the DC universe, it was written by Grant Morrison, who is infamous for the kind of brilliant, mad ideas that he includes in his series. AS-Superman was an attempt by him to update the larger than life Superman of the Silver Age into something modern audiences could relate to...
