Superman is preoccupied with Lois Lane and training Supergirl when he learns that Brainiac has set his sights on Metropolis. An unstoppable juggernaut, Brainiac will put The Man of Steel's true strength to the ultimate test. An unstoppable android on the horizon. A mysterious fireball hurtling toward Earth. A fearless -- and beautiful -- reporter who'll stop at nothing to get her story. It's just another day for the heroic Man of Steel...only this time, for better or for worse, he has his unpredictable cousin, Supergirl, by his side. The gritty adventure begins as Superman learns about the ruthless force known as Brainiac who has seized and miniaturized Krypton's capital city of Kandor. Determined to liberate the captured metropolis and protect his home planet from Brainiac's increasing power, Superman takes on his most menacing enemy. (official distributor synopsis)

A thoroughly enjoyable film based on the comic book "Superman: Brainiac." This is the second animated film where Supergirl gets a lot of space. We get her origin in Superman/Batman: Apocalypse and here it's all about a fast flawless ride.

Animation at a decent level, but ultimately nothing special. A story about Superman and how he can save the world. Hm, I feel like even this is nothing new. What the film must be praised for is the fact that it is grittier than classic mainstream comics and there is blood spraying around. Of course, that doesn't save the script, which is very transparent and heavily relies on the assumption that you know the mythology and it will tell you something. I do know the mythology but it definitely didn't really touch me.
