The Dark Knight team tackled the Superman franchise and had
some fun sinking their teeth into a time we don't know much about: the
young adult years. And when you fill in the holes, you have a lot of
fictional room to run in.
Clark Kent is aware of his power but his father Jonathan
keeps encouraging him to wait to use it. Somehow, Clark
searching for his real parents, makes his way to the North Pole where he
encounters the Jor-El hologram who, in an Emperor Palpatine way, tells him of
the history of Krypton.
No Lex Luthor here but the new villain is General Zad from
Krypton. There's a lot of characters whose name we don't quite find
out: who cares about Jenny right? We're too busy paying attention
to Lois Lane (nicely done by Amy Adams), Clark, the Kents and of course Perry
White, the editor.
With something as all-American as Superman, this movie takes
a familiar twist and flavors it up. It still owes a lot to Spider Man,
Iron Man and even the Iron Giant.
