Episode 59- All-Star Superman Commentary

sfr59albumSuperman Forever goes to the movies month continues- this time with the animated adaptation of Grant Morrison‘s All-Star Superman.

Much to David‘s surprise, the commentary doesn’t go the way he thought it would- as he makes his way through the movie, certain realizations set in, and his perception at the end of the film is completely different from how he felt at the beginning.

Fire up the DVD player and stick some popcorn in the microwave because this episode begins “Superman Forever goes to the movies” month.

And, I’m kicking off with a commentary for Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.

When the World’s Finest find themselves on the wrong side of the law, it becomes a race against time to clear their names, and stop an asteroid made of Kryptonite from destroying the earth.

Based on Superman/Batman issues 1-6, this direct-to-DVD feature is based on the art of Ed MCguinness, and boasts the return of familiar voice actors.
