I watched this the other day. The cover art kinda looks like the animation style, which is more anime than previous DC efforts. Of course, the main character of Superman doesn’t fit in at all and looks like those “Big Chin” heroes that Jez and a couple others customed from that cartoony RoboCop character figure. Meanwhile, Clark DOES fit in with the rest of the characters??

It’s been a good decade since I read the original story, but I think it hits all the bases, with the exception of the added Super-bots and cutting all extraneous ties to the ongoing Action arcs at the time. I also seem to recall the Final Showdown happened on an asteroid, not the moon?

Final Verdict: rental or wait for it on Cartoon Network.

As i expected the paint job on this is super sloppy, picked one up but will most likely toss it back and buy the BR if i get a better deal online.

Picked this up today. Pretty good for a Superman Cartoon reminds me of the old WB toon days. Definitely worth a watch if you’ve been digging the DC animated movies.

OK, so I failed to buy this today. Just completely forgot. Maybe it has something to do with that complete lack of advertising.
.
On consulting with my son, apparently he has seen 1 lone commercial that was run during Toonami at about 1 AM last weekend.

He looks like he does in the cartoon. Thanks for the reminder that the video is being released this week. Thank you for the BEST BUY photo of the figure. I have collected all of these mini-figures that come with the movies.

Look for an announcement at SDCC from DC Collectibles (DC Direct) about a 3.75″ – 4.0″ action figure line.

I had completely forgotten about this movie, much less that it was about to be released. I don’t think I’ll be buying this one.

That figure looks awful. first time i won’t be picking up the exclusive w/ minifig. It’s a terrible likeness and paint app looks way too haphazard and cartoony.
