It’s just another day for the heroic Man of Steel… only this time, for better or for worse, he has his unpredictable cousin, Supergirl, by his side. The gritty adventure begins as Superman learns about the ruthless force known as Brainiac, who has seized and miniaturized Krypton’s capital city of Kandor.

Notes et avis

"Earth- it's my home, its my heart! It gives me strength!" Worst lines I've ever heard. Just flat COOOORNNNNY! An aMAIZEingly bad line. I'm a BIG fan of Supes world, but I should have waited till this hit Netflix. Glad I didn't rent HD version so I at least saved a whole buck. Brainiac. The most powerful computer life form created in every existence future and past, wimping out on some bugs, mud, rush hour traffic, and the sound of babies crying was a bit much. My 3 stars are generous.

There's a great dynamic between Superman & Supergirl. She's unsure & lost; he's confident & steady. Their scenes keep you engaged. Lois Lane is also written well. Brainiac is menacing at times & John Noble's voice acting is spectacular, yet this movie isn't his greatest. Superman's visit to Kandor under the red son, & visiting w/ Kara's parents are great scenes. I personally enjoyed the animation. It reminded me of the Flashpoint Paradox animation style.

The story was a great delve into Superman mythos, truly it shows what the depth of a character Clark when he learns he is not alone. Kara being portrayed a person with deep emotional issue due to the loss of her city and then planet is new.
