Customer Reviews
Not quite an origin, but an introductory of Superman
This was honestly a pretty good introduction to character and makes for a pretty decent prequel, the only things I would probably critique it for is the absence of the fortress of solitude as I felt like Superman would’ve went to it to inquire about the green ore (kryptonite) that weakened him, and then with the movie coming out I’m just not sure where Krypto and Supergirl fit into it narratively. But like I said, it’s a pretty good opener, just leaves some answers unanswered for the time being, which I hope the movie itself will cover. Comparatively I would say like it felt like I was almost reading an episode of the animated series, but with its own razzle and dazzle.
