ROFL

I hope that last scene was an intentional ID4 reference

[Brother Justin Crowe]

Walter Bishop, why are you trying to kill Neal Cafferty?

Got this hardcover on the shelf. Day 1 purchase right here.

[Evil Sneak]

The art style is lacking in certain scenes but all in all this looks to be pretty good.

It's got me waaaaaaaay more excited then any of the trailers for the Man of Steel movie.

I enjoyed this story arc in the comics

I like the animation style of this better the Superman vs The Elite

[Bo-Man]

Looking forward to this... Love Brainiac as a villain!

The visuals look good. Not sure about the voices. Likely rental.

[Red&Green]

John noble sounds great as Brainiac! Very distinct from the version in the Justice League show, sounds really menacing. Think John nobles performance might steal the show.

[Emissary of Justice]

John Noble? Good, manages to give that excellent merciless cold tone. Corey Burton's still better though.
Matt Bomer? Ugh, he sounds too soft for the role.

It's got me waaaaaaaay more excited then any of the trailers for the Man of Steel movie.

Fortunately, I can watch both.

Fortunately, I can watch both.

And I'll have a Kryptonian boner during both.

Can DC ever get a consistent look for their animated superman ? Every animated DCU dvd release has a different looking superman. I can understand mimicking the artwork of the DC comics that it was based on but that superman sure doesn't looked like anything that Gary Frank ever drawn.

I like the all-star superman animated look , superman vs the elite - superman face looks like a payaya with the big chin, in this one , superman has a long face with a pointed chin.

Not a Soupie fan. But I really am digging. Supergirl. So I will probably pick this up.

That's a good thing, as far as I'm concerned, because Frank's use of Christopher Reeve's face was a bit creepy. Besides, nothing about the art here actually resembles Frank's work; it clearly isn't actually trying to mimic Frank's "photorealistic" style.
