While I did like tthis film, I don’t think that it should have won “ best superhero disk”. I would have liked to have seen the 40th anniversary of Superman the movie in 4K ultra HD disk win that title instead.
Still. A Superman related movie did win that title. So it’s still a win for Superman. And that’s what counts, and it’s still great news.
Hope it was better than War. Just watched that the other night on a lazy lark because it came up on Hulu and dear god all the heroes acted and sounded like kids trying way too hard to be “badass”. That’s even before Billy Batson shows up.
Yeah, DC movies , in general are trying to hard to be edgy. I want to share these with my kid, but because they are on this kick , I can’t.

Too mature IMO. And the stuff on Cartoon Network is “Spongebob” levels of stupid. I won’t even let my kid watch that trash. And the art and animation on these movies has gone downhill, Grotesquely misproportioned and just plain bad looking. the CN stuff too, it’s all that goofy, silly looking style that I cannot stand, that’s not just the DC stuff either, seems like everything on CN is using that style. We need an in between, I want something that we can watch together, not everything has to be adults only or aimed at toddlers. Young Justice is the… Read more »
It’s actually much better than I expected. I thought I’d hate it, given that they just *had* to shoehorn their “New52-lite” universe into this, but I enjoyed it – which surprised the heck out of me.
And RoS is even better, imo.
To the members of the Superman homepage. To the staff and my fellow Superman fans, I wish you a Happy, Peaceful, and Joyful Easter!
Peace be with you all.
