Superman: Man of Tomorrow New DC animated movie.

With so many blockbuster films held up by the pandemic there's actually more than just live action pictures available to entertain. For some years now I have (almost) been avidly following DC's animated movies where even more than the TV market they have outshone Marvel.  

I had in fact skipped the last one because it featured Deathstroke a character I have never been that keen on and certainly a villain with an over-rated reputation within the DC fictional universe itself. Superman on the other hand is the premier superhero and the granddaddy of the genre ready to entertain n a variety of formats.

This latest film see's a slightly different take on the legend, one that incorporates elements of the now defunct "New 52" reboot as Clark Kent don's goggles and a balaclava to fight evil or save the day, at least till Ma Kent makes him his iconic uniform out of his bay wrapping (there must have been a lot of it...just saying.

All the usual elements are there: Lex Luthor, Lois Lane the Daily Planet and Perry White. Add to this mix poor old Rudi, the Parasite, Lobo, and the Martian Manhunter. and the adventure begins. There are elements of this movie that didn't sit easily with me. metropolis was far to advanced for the period and there were some creeping Mangaesque elements which were not to my taste for the source material but overall an enjoyable distraction from the bad weather that left me in front of the TV.

There's a trailer for the upcoming Batman: Son of The Dragon which is all so very seventies and deliberately so. I'll probably give that a go although I'm not a great fan of martial arts.
