Plots(1)
After a spaceship splashes down in Gotham City Harbor, Batman and Superman encounter a mysterious Kryptonian with powers as great as those of the Man of Steel. The Kryptonian is soon revealed to be Kara, cousin of Superman, who he takes under his wing to educate her about the ways of Earth. However, the villainous Darkseid has other plans. Seeing an opportunity to finally defeat Superman, Darkseid abducts and gains control of Kara, utilizing the powerful Kryptonian to do his bidding. It’s up to Batman and Superman to save Kara, but they’ll have to take the fight to Darkseid within his hostile world - where unknown, deadly threats lurk around every corner, including a brainwashed Kryptonian able to match Superman blow‐for‐blow.

Superman and his darker companion still work well together. While it lacks the complexity of Public Enemies, the action is still explosive, and Supergirl adds a nice fatherly subtext to the story. However, it is brought down to average by a completely incompetent villain. If there is something explicitly wrong in DC Comics, it is Granny Goodness. This bizarre and transvestite character has no place in an action comic. The perfect final battle saves it from being a weak four-star rating. 70%

The origin of Supergirl is a fantastic treat. The trio of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are here to defeat the planet Apocalypse, trading some great lines and setting the stage for an excellent final confrontation in Smallville. Everything has the right pace, humor, tension, and insight. The perfect combination. The book can be found under the title "Superman/Batman: Supergirl."

Who is this actually intended for? Probably seriously for teenagers who will appreciate that the second-rate heroine appears only in a towel here, even though it is completely unnecessary and she could have been dressed. The superhero comic is unbelievably sexist and even in this animated form, I didn't enjoy it twice.
