It did seem a bit disjointed and rushed though. The plot was convoluted and giving Lex access to so much superadvanced tech including subdimensional spaces, clones and enslaved martians(?) was a bit too much without it being explained and justified (even if they had just shown us alien collaborators per CADMUS). Lex was just a bit too campy villain too, especially with the ex-girlfriend thing. And whats with Gunn wanting to put a Harem subplot and Eve Teschmacher being obsessed with Jimmy - ehk!Supes not being all powerful and actually needing the others was a good change, made him more relatable and able to show his morality.I also liked the the reporters of the Daily Planet got to be important to the resolution too. I even liked the Lois-Supes interview with her pushing him to actually justify his actions, its what she'd do and gave a nod to the whole super-legal authority premise the Justice Gang was meh, although Guy was well done, Hawkgirl was a bit pointless and the portrayal of Mr Terrific just a bit dodgy. I like Mr Terrific but the Fairplay aspect of his character should have been more apparent.I'm also trying to recall what superman show used the 'sent to rule earth' point previously 0 was it in one of the TV shows or a movie? cant recall</blockquote>
