Why our age differs

Official is PG-13. We say 10+ because the fights are animated and the language stays mild. There is kill talk, but little blood

Our take

This is a 67-minute cartoon, louder than kids TV but not a live-action crime film. Superman and Batman are framed and chased while a meteor heads in. Expect superhero fights, guns, explosions, and talk of murder. You will hear hell and the b-word. Fine from 10 with a parent if your child already watches DC cartoons

Uplifting themes

The pair keep working together when the country is told they are the enemy They refuse to kill, even with a bounty on their heads

Story (may spoil tone)

United States President Lex Luthor uses the oncoming trajectory of a Kryptonite meteor to frame Superman and declare a $1 billion bounty on the heads of the Man of Steel and his ‘partner in crime’, Batman. Heroes and villains alike launch a relentless pursuit of Superman and Batman, who must unite—and recruit help—to try and stave off the action-packed onslaught, stop the meteor Luthors plot.

Talk after watching

  • The heroes are told they are the problem. How do you stay calm when a crowd turns on you?
  • They say they do not kill. Why does that rule matter when everyone else wants a bounty?
