Superman Versus The Elite

Supes takes on an edgier and deadlier crew of heroes. It's good but I hope Joe Kelly gave Warren Ellis about 90% of his royalty money since it borrows heavily from the Authority.

It was good. Better than expected.

I'm pretty sure Kelly was riffing on the Authority quite deliberately...that was the point.

Haven't seen it yet - did they include the part where ColdCast abruptly disappears and then Superman shows up and says "Oh yeah, I flew him into space at Mach 10 and he experienced explosive decompression..."?

That was my favorite bit in the original.

I don't recall. I was a few beers in by the end. It's worth the watch.
