Superman Vs The Elite (2012) 7/10

Starring : George Newbern, Pauley Perrette, Robin Atkin Downes, Catero Colbert, Melissa Disney, Andrew Kishino
Director : Michael Change
Running Time : 75 mins

Superman (Newbern) meets a brand new team of superheroes that call themselves the Elite, and soon learns to respect their abilities and hopes they will join him in defending mankind from the evils of the world. But when they start to use tactics that are both violent and over the top, the Man of Steel starts to feel that perhaps they aren’t as heroic as he first thought they might be. But with public opinion siding with the Elite, does this mean that Superman’s non-violent approach might be outdated?

It’s hard to say who to support in this movie. The only reason that the Elite go after Supes is because if they don’t he’d try to stop them, claiming that they are villains for killing criminals. But it has to be said that some criminals in the DC Universe should be killed, because innocents will die if they are allowed to live. Fans of Superman might actually find themselves disagreeing with his stand against this team of heroes who want to save mankind by killing criminals, but hardcore fans will want Supes to win with his unrealistic ideals.
