Abstract: The noinfty continuum limit of super-Toda models associated with the affine sl(2n|2n)(1) (super)algebra series produces (2+1)-dimensional integrable equations in the spacetimes. The equations of motion of the (super)Toda hierarchies depend not only on the chosen (super)algebras but also on the specific presentation of their Cartan matrices. Four distinct series of integrable hierarchies in relation with symmetric-versus-antisymmetric, null-versus-nonnull presentations of the corresponding Cartan matrices are investigated. In the continuum limit we derive four classes of integrable equations of heavenly type, generalizing the results previously obtained in the literature. The systems are manifestly N=1 supersymmetric and, for specific choices of the Cartan matrix preserving the complex structure, admit a hidden N=2 supersymmetry. The coset reduction of the (super)-heavenly equation to the spacetime (with a line segment) is illustrated. Finally, integrable N=2,4 supersymmetrically extended models in (1+1) dimensions are constructed through dimensional reduction of the previous systems.
