One of the better Superman releases I've seen. Surprised to see The Elite in a movie, even an animated one, but they were great. Maybe in terms of the morality it explores, Superman vs. The Elite and I are not always on the same page, but at least it bothers to explore it. Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
