Superman: Contra a Elite

I recently revisited Superman vs The Elite (2012) on MAX. The storyline revolves around Superman in a society where some believe he is too lenient on villains, prompting a new wave of superheroes who advocate harsher consequences, even death. As these newcomers push the boundaries of punishment, Superman faces the risk of becoming obsolete. Can he prove to the world that due process is essential?

Directed by Michael Chang (17 Episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold), the film features the voices of George Newbern (Adventures in Babysitting), Pauley Perrette (NCIS), Dee Bradley Baker (American Dad), and Robin Atkin Downes (The Conjuring 2).

While not my favorite DC animation style, this film is still a solid and enjoyable addition to the DC animated universe. The villains are compelling characters, ruthless and unpredictable. The depiction of Superman and Lois is well-executed, with entertaining interactions between them. The action scenes shine, showcasing excellent use of the villains' superpowers. The final showdown is well-crafted, making the unfolding narrative a fun experience.

In conclusion, Superman vs The Elite is another worthwhile contribution to the DC animated universe, featuring a solid premise and great villains. I'd give it a 7/10 and recommend watching it at least once.
