This right here was a excellent episode. It had everything you could
want, lots of action, great dialogue, very very good plot and the first
appearance of Darkseid.
Kanto approaches Bruno Mannheim about a supply of weapons--weapons
supplied to him by Darkseid. These weapons formed big hands, deadly
bolts of fire and some nifty rocket packs of light shooter things. All
of these weapons seriously pounded Superman down into the ground, but in
the end, he prevailed and the weapons were no more.
With this episode, not only do we get some extremely good shots of a
really ticked off Superman (Screen #11 portrays that well, I think), we
glimpses of Apocalypse, Darkseid and his minions and, like I mentioned
before, some really cool action scenes. This episode definitely did NOT
disappoint in anyway, shape, or form.
This episode just has to be seen to be appreciated in all it's glory, so
definitely keep an eye out for any airings of this on TV. I simply can't
say anything more about this episode, without going on and on and on.
