Viewing Notes
It’s nuts that they can make a perfectly good - great, even - Superman animated film like this but totally shit the bed with the live action versions. Just like here, Lex doesn’t always have to be the bad guy. Let someone else do it. This story is neat bc it’s right after Doomsday kills Superman and then a bunch of other “Supermen” show up and there’s conflict. This would be so cool to see in live action. Ugh, so annoying that WB/DCEU couldn’t figure this out when it’s right in front of them.
