    Very Good

    The concept of superman is sometimes forgotten, but in this movie it is revived and does not disappoint. The story was one of my favorites out of all of the DC animated films. The fight scenes were just so glorious. They did add some nice plot twists and very creative people. The only thing I found confusing was the "Bunny" ship thing. I'm not to sure what the point of it was in the story besides be the hideout for The Elite. Overall, great movie. I would recommend this for any superman fan.

In the comics medium this question of new versus old, and noble vs. realistic was dealt with and for some answered by the amazing graphic novel Kingdom ComeIt is a question that should be asked. Would the world or at least the world Superman inhabits be better if he were a killer. The same could be ...
