Ep. 258 - Elseworlds - Superman vs. The Elite

The Good Brothers are taking a trip around the Multiverse for their 5th Saturday of the month as they review the 2012 Direct-to-video film Superman vs. The Elite. The film, which is an adaptation of Action Comics Issue 775, features a plot that needed to be expanded to meet the needs of a feature length run time which means the hosts take a little extra time discussing it which leads to a longer than normal episode of the pod. When discussing the plot they compare and contrast the additions not found in the original issue, while also noting the difficulties of adapting comics into animation. They also talk about the temptation to project human faults on the Superman character, why it needs to stop and how the character's innate goodness differs from any real life heroes we see in the world. Cal & Liam also tackle the unique character designs and animation style of the movie, the movie quality soundtrack and the immense voice cast which features more than a few DCAU crossovers! All of this and much much more await you on this giant-sized Elseworlds episode of the DCAU Review!
