With his home planet of “Krypton” now obliterated our eponymous, red-caped, hero has taken up residence on in Earth where his mild-mannered alter-ego “Clark Kent” works for a newspaper. When a mad scientist sends it’s editor a threatening note, he summons ace reporter “Lois Lane” who seems to know e ... xactly where to go to find this dastardly villain. She is fairly easily apprehended and with the megalomaniac now firing his electro-ray to dissolve bridges and turn skyscrapers into blancmanges, we just know that this is going to be a job for “Superman” to thwart his menace and save his intrepid colleague. Can he make it in time? Does the sun come up in the morning? No, jeopardy isn’t high on the list of priorities here, indeed the whole story is a bit thin - but it’s an action-packed adventure for ten minutes and it looks like the old bird of “Maleficent” has strayed fro the set of “Sleeping Beauty” to give the baddie an hand as this sharply drawn animation goes through the motions.
