Superman: Unbound
Dir: James Tucker
2013
***
Superman: Unbound is by far the best Superman animation in the last decade but that isn't really a huge compliment. It does stick to the Brianiac story arc quite well and fans of the comic shouldn't be too disappointed but it's still no masterpiece. There is enough material in the comics to warrant a longer and better film but that seems sum up DC animation of late. It all seems rushed and half-hearted. I'm not sure I liked this version of Supergirl either and Brainiac seems far more menacing in the comics but it's bright, fast paced and of a much higher quality than the previous few films. Fans only territory I would say but always read the comics first kids!
