Born in the 70s

I bought and watched Superman: Doomsday last night, and it's pretty darn good.  It moves very quickly, the voice-acting is really good, and there's a terrific cameo thrown in there.  My only real complaint is Superman's character design - the cheekbones are drawn really strangely.  The DVD is packed full of extras, including a look at the upcoming Justice League: The New Frontier.

My wingman at the office is taking a 2-week-and-change vacation at the end of the week.  The additional workload's not going to be any real problem, but she's a lot of fun to work with, and things will become even more boring.  Tomorrow, I'm slated to be part of a focus group (which I'm hoping doesn't become the plural form of moron) for a new online initiative the company is launching.  Whee!

So I just watched Superman and, apart from a couple of niggles, I pretty much agree with your assessment. The cheekbones didn't bother me as much, it was more a couple of points where the voice acting wasn't quite as sharp as it could have been.

Oh, and James Marsters can play Luthor again any time he wants.

(I haven't got the actual DVD, I aquired it through other means. Looks like we're in for a wait for the real thing)

Marsters gave us a good Lex. I think I still like Clancy Brown better for sheer rumbly menace, but Marsters ... well, he did exude a little more charisma from ol' Lex, and I like that.
