				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".
