Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is a charming show that probably newer generations may not appreciate as it has quintessential 1990s style and is cheesy, but I had a lot of fun re-watching with Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher having great chemistry.

All-Star Superman arrives on 4K Ultra HD from Warner Bros. and features the voice cast of James Denton, Christina Hendricks and Anthony LaPaglia.
The Superman: 5-Film Collection has four movies making their debuts on 4K, though really only two of them are worth a damn. I suppose if you’re a Superman fan, maybe it’s worth it, but probably only when it’s on sale.

The less said about Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, the better. It was a misfire from the go and even the charms of Christopher Reeve could make this watchable.

Superman III was pretty much the beginning of the end of the Superman franchise. It’s not terrible but not very good either, moving to full-on goofy humor (versus a more wholesome variety of the first film), and an awful villain.
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut does a valiant job giving viewers Donner’s original concept for the sequel and utilizing not only some new visual effects but some rehearsal footage to give as complete of a vision as possible.

Superman II is hardly perfect and with Richard Lester replacing Richard Donner probably made for a whiplash of a movie in terms of tone, but this still managed to be an entertaining sequel though the goof levels were taken up a notch.
Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons isn’t a great animated movie nor does it really move the needle in terms of storytelling but the animation was solid and I was entertained throughout.

It’s that time of year again, a time to spend with family after more than a year of hardship and while there might be issues with a supply chain and more and more are going back to work, there’s still time to spend indoors especially with the weather getting colder and I’ve got a list here of some great titles from a variety of genres, there’s something for everybody.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is an okay, if not exceptional lengthy, film and well worth checking out, especially if you’re a DC fan or just curious, plus splitting it into parts does help if you don’t want to watch in one sitting.

Supergirl: The Complete Fifth Season still has similar struggles from its previous season with the writing and storytelling, and similar troubles to the later seasons of Arrow, but I still like Melissa Benoist in the role.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow is the beginnings of a new animated universe now that the previous New 52 inspired one concluded. The animation style is my biggest question mark but I did enjoy the introductions for both Lobo and Martian Manhunter.

Legion of Super Heroes: The Complete Series is a show that only lasted two seasons from nearly 15 years ago, so I can be forgiven for not ever heard of it before. However, it’s a fun enough time for most ages though I’m not a big fan of the animation style.

Supergirl: The Complete Fourth Season might on the heavy-handed side in its dealings with current events, but even so the performances for the most part have been respectable especially from Melissa Benoist who embodies the role so well.
