Reign of the Supermen (2019)

I've been waiting for this since The Death of Superman, but this is not that l excited about. It has so many pointless jokes which kill the serious story. l mean every scene except fighting has a joke tagged along. There were moments that l thought l was watching Marvel movie. There are too much humor in it! And the movie wasn't even delivered good boss fight, the final boss had a poor unrealistic motivation. But it is still enjoyable to watch.

Fmovies: The Death of Superman was decent, had some good moments... and served to set me up for a horrible disappointment with this, the sequel. It. Was. Horrible. I literally cringed, clenched my teeth at some of the scenes. Easily one of the worst DC animations I've seen in a while (though a lot of the more recent ones like Son of Batman etc were pretty horrible as well). Forget the action scenes, they're pretty bad but it's irrelevant when the plot, the writing, dialog and characterization is as wretched as it is in these recent flicks. It's mind boggling how bad the writing has gotten for DCAU productions; none of this is Oscar nomination worthy stuff but they used to be much, much better.

The stilted timing in the dialog animation doesn't help; so many awkward, weird split second moments where the dialog just stops dead, and there's dead space (not meaningful pause), before the banter awkwardly resumes... lost count of how many times this happens (noticeable in Death of Superman as well... wth is this about?).

Prime WTH moment, Lois suddenly becomes den mother giving a pep talk to Superboy, gets interrupted by a call from JHJ/Steel who calls to report a discovery related to Superman with all the urgency/importance of someone saying that there's a girl scout at the door selling cookies; Lois essentially says 'ok, call me back if you find out anything important', goes back to talking to Superboy like 'Whatever'. What in the world?? It was such a pointless exchange that my head nearly exploded.

I also don't think most (there are exceptions) of the current crop of DC animation voice actors/actresses (the women from JLU were especially amazing) can hold a candled to the older gen, though it could be that they have to deal with making their voices match the weirdly timed talking heads.

I'm sorry DC, this was just bad. Such a huge letdown after Death of Superman sort of hinting at better things to come.

Not the best DC animated movie but it's entertaining that's for sure. Great action and good enough story line. However the use of the justice League was woeful and there wasn't much character depth. But at least for once Lois Lane is actually interesting!

Reign of the Supermen fmovies. DC does it again. While not the best DC Animated Movie to date, it is pretty fantastic. Good actors, and talented artists and writers bring "The Reign of the Supermen" to the screen. Good job DC!

The rela action justice league writer should learn something from animated movie writers. Great work with the reign of the supermen 👍🏻

Same as with Death of Superman this isn't one to remember. They are not bad like Batman and Harley Quinn, but they are a step back from the quality DC has us used to. I would not recommend this movie or it's predecessor to anyone that isn't a fanboy and I will probably not remember them after a while.
