When Brainiac gets
loose on Metropolis, it’s up to Superman, the son of Zod to stop him.
The Good
The characters, designs and all were really good in this
short. I was cool to see Amanda Waller and Dr. Sivana in it, and nicer to see
Amanda back to her original design. The changes were interesting; making Amanda
Waller president was a cool twist though I’m not sure how Dr. Sivana fits into
it. Hopefully that will be explained further in the movie.The Brainiac twist
was great and very sad at the same time.
Onto Superman – this version is interesting and his
different moral code makes him more unexpected also his entrance was very cool.
Though he is willing to do what’s necessary he’s by no means a monster and that
makes his reaction to the ending more fascinating.
The background and city designs were very beautiful and the
tone fit the story very well.
The Bad
(This does not impact the score) But this short was just
dark and depressing.
The Ugly (The Verdict)
The second short of the first season was better than the
last. It had much more character and heart to it than the Batman one and also
gave us much better feel and view of this different world. The character twists
were interesting and the ultimate conclusion that came out of them was very
good, even if a bit dark. The darkness was there but handled in such a way that
it was intriguing and not dissuading. A very good short and maybe the highlight
of the season, though it remains to be seen.
