Animated feature following the caped hero adapted from Geoff Johns' 'Superman: Brainiac' comic books. With the help of his cousin Supergirl (Molly C. Quinn), Superman (voice of Matt Bomer) goes up against extraterrestrial villain Brainiac (John Noble), who has been wreaking havoc across the universe, stealing cities and destroying planets, including the hero's home Krypton. With Brainiac now on Earth, Superman does all he can to prevent it, and its people, from meeting the same fate. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

A thoroughly enjoyable film based on the comic book "Superman: Brainiac." This is the second animated film where Supergirl gets a lot of space. We get her origin in Superman/Batman: Apocalypse and here it's all about a fast flawless ride.

The animation is top-notch, but ultimately, it's nothing special. A story about Superman and how he saves the world. Hmm, I feel like even that isn't anything new. One thing that must be acknowledged about the film is that it's grittier than typical mainstream comics and there's bloodshed. Of course, that doesn't save the screenplay, which is quite transparent and relies heavily on assuming you know the mythology and that it will resonate with you. I know the mythology, but it definitely didn't resonate with me much.
