Reign
of the Supermen is a great addition to the DC animated universe. This movie
picks up immediately after The Death of Superman and is about four new supermen
who all show up as the city figures out who to trust. Jerry O’Connell does a
great job voicing Superman. He makes the role his own while feeling like a
classic version of the character. Rebecca Romijn gives a fantastic performance
voicing Lois Lane and her portrayal might be the best the character has seen.
Rainn Wilson makes a shockingly fantastic Lex Luthor being equally charming and
intimidating. Khary Payton gives a good vocal performance, but his character is
severely underused. Cameron Monaghan gives a great performance voicing
Superboy. He is very funny, but you also care about him in key emotional
moments. Charles Halford and Patrick Fabian give fantastic voice performances
in small but crucial roles. Rosario Dawson and Nathan Fillion are still
absolutely perfect as Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, respectively. Jason
O’Mara and Christopher Gorham are very good as Batman and the Flash in smaller
roles. Sam Liu did a fantastic job directing. The action sequences are as
thrilling if not more so than anything in their live action counterparts. The
script is really strong with great character development and actual stakes that
make you feel like everyone is in danger. The animation, while not on the same
level as a big budget movie, is still really good and fluid. At 87 minutes this
movie flies by. It starts almost immediately and never stops moving. Overall, I
had a blast with Reign of the Supermen and am excited to see where the story
goes next.
8/10
