Review of Reign of the Supermen: 4-Star animated movie
"REIGN of the Supermen" is another 4-star DC Animated movie!
It is great and well worth the $16 purchase price (What I paid, at least).
Although it is closer to the storyline of the comic books of the early 1990s than its predessor ("Superman Doomsday"), it still had plenty of plot twists to make it very surprising and fresh.
My only real complaint was that they didn't spend enough time showing how Superman's body ended up at the Fortress and how he was revived.
The voice work and animation is first class and the Lex Luthor character kind of stole the show at times with his subtle humor.
-Again, DC/Warner Brothers, how come your live action movies are never as great as your animated movies are?

"Justice League: Gods and Monsters" review
WITHOUT revealing any spoilers, "Justice League: Gods and Monsters" is a very entertaining DC animated video, where there's no way anyone is going to predict the outcome to the story.
Yes, it was well worth the $17.99 I paid for the DVD, with shipping to my home.
This is an alternate universe tale, unique in its unorthodox characters. There were at least three pivotal moments in the 76-minute storyline, where I was totally surprised by the outcome.
Thus, this movie is more about "what if" and "Wow, I didn't expect that" rather than all about its action scenes.
I'm still mystified why DC can produce such great animated movies, well ahead of Marvel, and yet fall short on the big screen of live action movies.
While I'm still waiting for DC to do a "Secret Identity" animated movie, I'm not disappointed by their Superman projects otherwise.
-Regarding the related "Justice League: Gods and Monsters" limited comic book series, I thought that it was ever better than the animated movie. It is surely one of DC's best comics series of 2015.
