The DCAU Review

Ep. 362 - Superman: The Animated Series - The Last Son of Krypton, Part 1 (Revisited)


Listen Later

Liam and Cal return from last week's interview with Robin to celebrate the Man of Steel's return to the Big Screen with a #SuperFantasMonth celebration and a look back at Superman's first appearance in the television movie, later split into three parts for syndicated broadcast, known as "The Last Son of Krypton." The Good Brothers first reviewed this episode over seven years ago, so they're taking a look back and giving a thorough once over of each of the parts of this iconic launch of the DC Animated Universe with the pilot of Superman The Animated Series. Amongst the topics discussed are the slight departures and tweaks to the origin story from anything that came before this show, the eerily relevant concerns from Jor-El about the elevation and cultural reliance on Artificial Intelligence and the surveillance state's use of the technology. Plus how the show's mandate to look different from previous Superman shows and media and to set itself apart from Batman The Animated Series is showcased in the very first episode. Plus a review of the music composition from Lolita Ritmanis that returns for an equally tragic sequence in Justice League Unlimited, name checks to 90s cartoon ReBoot and why Corey Burton remains the GOAT. All of this and the hosts talk about their original scores for the episode and much more that awaits you on this week's all new DCAU Review!
