I remember the whole "Death of Superman" thing back in the 90's. They introduced four new possible Supermen under four different titles like "The Man of Steel" and "The Last Son of Krypton". All of which continue to this day in one form or another but none of them call themselves Superman anymore. So it's a given that DC would put out a video of this although I would have expected it to come shortly after the actual cartoon they made of the whole affair years ago.
Of course, like anything, this takes liberties with the story. For example Superboy was made by Lex Luthor instead of Cadmus and seems to be able to fly, something he couldn't do in the comics. But I get it. It's an adaptation and not meant to be the same story.
This movie involves the other members of the Justice League who obviously play a larger role in the whole thing. And on the whole it's okay. It's not a great story. It feels a little disjointed at times trying to cram all of the Supermen to one degree or another. The animation is good as is the voice acting. But in the end it just feels a little hollow. It's missing heart or something that makes us want to cheer for these characters.
Not the worst thing that DC has put out but it's definitely not their best work.
