"Becoming a man means making these choices for yourself. Just be ready. Because each choice, each action, has consequences." - Jonathan Kent to Clark

Why watch this? This DCU animated Superman reboot has some really creative touches.

Plot Summary: Young Clark Kent begins working as an intern at the Daily Planet in Metropolis, secretly using his powers to help others while navigating life alongside Lois Lane. He is soon thrust into the public eye as he must confront intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo and the power-absorbing villain. As the world learns about Superman, he faces the daunting task of saving the city and proving his worth as a hero.

Dad's Preview: There is a lot here to like. A very novice Clark Kent is struggling with coming out. Will humans trust or fear him? He has questions? This story certainly shows that his first alien contacts are the crude and violent Lobo, a Czarnian, and the benevolent J'onn J'onzz, a Martian. I really liked Clark's interactions between J'onn, Lois and his parents. I also enjoyed the energy Parasite that grows to kaiju-size and poses a real threat to the Man of Steel. What felt out of place were a few unnecessary curse words. Regardless, this is a good start to what fans now call the "Tomorrowverse".
