The handsome man in the red shorts has darkened and the result is a destructive contest in two halves, driven mainly by a clever script that delivers a suspenseful plot and likable characters. The only hindrance is the cheap animation, which will be appreciated only by early birds watching weekend TV.

So mom wanted me to find a kids’ movie. This was the only one available. Doomsday is super cartoon, packed full of action, perhaps a little surprising for its toughness and destruction. Metropolis in ruins, people dying... wonderful! If only the drawing had been a bit better.

Admittedly, I still have some reservations about Superman's standalone adventures, and for now, I'd rather accept him as part of a duo with Batman, or better yet, as a member of the JL. Yet I have to admit that the evil plot of Doomsday is very catchy, taking place shortly after Kal starts dating Lois and a new ace from Lex comes on the scene. The drama is interspersed with suspense and an interesting twist, the action is well-measured and overall, I'm looking forward to more and more from the DC Nation animation workshop.
