There are many independent animated films of Superman, but I have only seen "All Star Superman" and "Superman vs. The Elite". "All Star Superman" is unquestionably the best, and I think it's on the same level as "Superman vs. The Elite". "All Star Superman" discusses what Superman will do at the end of his life as a god, as well as showing Superman's divinity through Lex Luthor. "Superman vs. The Elite" discusses Superman's views on violence, as well as his own behavior. And this one is to reflect the human side of Superman's life through the inner human nature of cousin kara and the contradiction between Lois and Superman.

Superman is different from Batman. There are so many things in Batman that can be discovered, whether it is the discovery of Batman himself (the death of his parents), the rationality of Batman as a vigilante, or the game between Batman and the villains. , or just talking about Batman's villains in detail (Batman has too many famous villains), can make the story very exciting, and Superman's divinity is too obvious, it must be used to add his own human side to maintain balance, can Make the story stand out.

Audiences are accustomed to seeing superhuman beings in various media and omnipotent, but in this animated film, kara, as a fugitive, is full of fear of the destruction of her hometown. At this time, kara is this Superhumans are not gods, but as a human being, in the face of past disasters and impending disasters, they appear helpless. This is the cowardly side, allowing the audience to see the human side of kara as a superhuman. At this time, the god Superman, as an older brother, senior, and mentor, can only use actions as an example to encourage kara to overcome her fears (this part is made up by my own brain, and the movie has a stroke on this plot that is conducive to shaping the character) If skipped, points should be deducted)

In fact, I think the contradiction between Superman and lois in the movie wants to express the divinity of Superman (continue to hide the relationship between clark kent and Lois Lane from the public to achieve the purpose of protecting lois, because there may be a day when the world will find out that clark kent is Kal- El, Kal-El is clark kent) and human nature (opening clark kent's relationship with Lois Lane so that lois can be satisfied and fulfill his desire to marry and have children with clark kent), in the end Superman's humanity prevailed, he knew, Lois's position in her mind, he is willing to take risks for her, in layman's terms, it is the power of love.

Personally, I really like the image of the characters in this movie.

As a mature man, Superman is full of patience with kara, a cousin who has little experience, encourages her gently and patiently, and gives care to her elder brother; he is full of tenderness for Lois, a confident and capable woman, not only for being a Superman girl The security of a friend, but also the tenderness of a boyfriend; he resolutely resists Brainiac, a powerful villain, and uses his own wisdom to destroy its conspiracy; it can be said that Superman is the most perfect person.

A special mention is lois, who expresses her own abilities and arrogance to the fullest. Only such a woman can make Superman so fascinated...

Personally, I also like the soundtrack and sound effects of this movie very much. Even if there are no commercial blockbusters, it is very It has a sense of impact and strength, which is reflected in all the fighting scenes at the beginning and end of the film. Even if it is not good, it should be qualified.

Very typical American style, I like it very much, it looks very comfortable. (Can be compared with the style of "Justice League: War")

    Lois Lane: You're something else.

    Clark Kent: I don't care what he thinks about me.

    Lois Lane: I know that. I'm surprised you didn't think of it yourself. It's the perfect cover.

    Clark Kent: Then what?

    Lois Lane: You don't want anyone knowing that we're together, but at the same time, you don't let another guy even talk to me. It's like I'm going out with my own stalker.

    Clark Kent: Him? Lombard? You want that guy hitting on you?

    Lois Lane: No. That's not the point. The point is you need to ease up a little.

    Lois Lane: "Away" as in spend some time with your folks in Kansas or as in somewhere just past the Crab Nebula?

    Clark Kent: More like the latter. Can we deal with this when I get back?

    Lois Lane: Men. Always finding an excuse to leave when things get scary. Of course, you're the only one who literally disappears off the face of the earth.
