Great movie perfect plot what if superman was evil as a child but not call him superman or Clark Kent it's such an original ideal Jackson a Dunn plays Branden the boy who might an alien is amazing in the role and Elizabeth Banks as his mother also brilliant left it open for a sequel which I would like too see

The adaptation of one of DC comics most favorites heroes is done well in this film. Reeve plays and looks like Clark Kent. The movie is fun,suspenseful and full of action for an 80's movie. Each character in the comic that needs to be involved in the first one is done right. The movie spawned 4 sequels and then was remade more times over. In this case for this series only 2 were needed.

After the first 15 minutes, I was convinced this was going to be 90 minutes of Clark Kent being a little bitch and being called 'kid' by everyone. Turns out it's actually 90 minutes of Superman, Lobo, Martian Manhunter, and a Godzilla sized Parasite smacking the shit out of each other, and it's pretty great.
Really nice animation, a decent voice cast, and an interesting alternative take on the early days of Superman's career. Not much to grumble about with this one.

I don't know about you, but when I think of Superman I tend to think of his Clark Kent early Daily Planet days, back when he was a reporter and when Lois didn't know his alter-ego.
That seems to be the period in which most of the Superman films have been set in (and is probably why I think of that), with his earlier teenage/Young Adult days explored more in TVs Smallville.
I'd never come across a 'mainline' story with a hook just like this before: Clark Kent is no longer a reporter at the Daily Planet, is now married to Lois who knows his secret and has kids (teenage twin boys) of his own.
Yes, I know that's been covered in the comic books.
Anyway, this is another entry in what-is-sometimes-known-as The Arrowverse, with both Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane having previously 'popped up' in some of it's sister shows - I think first appearing in the second season of 'Supergirl' - before putting in an appearance in some of the crossover events.
Having said that, this is largely a self-contained series (post Crisis), although there are points where you just have to wonder why Kal-El doesn't put out a call to his cousin Kara Zor-El to help! Setting that aside, however, this is beautifully shot (and generally written/performed better than most of the other Arrowverse shows), with Tyler Hoechlin continuing to prove himself a far lighter, more comic-accurate (I feel) version than that shown by Henry Cavill in 'Man of Steel' and 'Batman Vs Superman' or 'Dawn of Justice', and with Elizabeth Tulloch also winning me over as Lois Lane.

It's funny, but while - like, I'm sure, most people out there - I may know (of) the origin of the Man of Steel, I've never actually seeing it written down anywhere.
Thinking about it, I think that knowledge comes from the Christopher Reeve Superman films, and the more recent TV series Smallville.
That TV series was still running when this graphic novel series was released.
This goes back to Superman's earliest days in Metropolis, with a brief flash-back to his high school Smallville days, to present a new take on the origin of the character - Jimmy Olsen? Check. Ma and Pa Kent? Check. Perry White? Check. Lois Lane? Check. Lex Luthor? Also check!
As such, I found this an interesting take on the character, with some dynamic action sequences and some stand-out visuals (Clark Kent soaring over a herd of stampeding Zebra's, for instance).
