“Wealthy person actually goes to jail.”
Had a good chuckle at that, as well as many of the other sly jokes sprinkled throughout the first act of this mainstream DC animated feature. “Fireworks suck!” was also a choice, dog-centric gag I can appreciate. Although whoever chose to have Clark wear khakis outside the pet shop oughta be cast into the sun and come back as Nuclear Man. It was so blandly-colored, I thought ol’ Supes was letting his super dong out for air. I really believed the joke was going to be that he somehow forgot to wear pants, but nope, just a bad color job.
The Warner Bros. Animation Department has an impressive track record, counting Mask of the Phantasm, Teen Titans Go! to the Movies, Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Summer Vacation, and Superman: Red Son among their many accomplishments. And let’s not forget Batman vs. TMNT.
Most of these direct-to-video (and occasionally theatrical) features put several DC live-action pictures to shame, usually because they’re both smarter and able to utilize a vast array of characters and locales. Here, being that this is very much a kids movie, it has to straddle an awkward line between the self-aware, DCEU animation world and the more Illumination/Blue Sky style and humor that mainstream audiences unfortunately crave. It doesn’t always work, but there were enough laughs and even some surprises that made this a good doggo of a flicker show.
