Official Rating PG-13 ClearAge 14+ Quality ★★★☆☆

No Australia rating available — showing United States

Why our age differs

Official is PG-13. We say 14+ because a teen girl is taken and used as a weapon. The fights are cartoon, but the kidnapping is not a joke

Our take

This is a 79-minute DC cartoon, heavier than kids TV. A teen girl with super strength is hunted, kidnapped, and trained to kill. There are monsters, mind control, and big fights. You will hear hell, damn, and the b-word. Watch with a parent from 14. The abduction of the girl is the part that may stay with younger teens

Uplifting themes

Family and friends keep trying to bring the girl home without turning her into a tool Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman argue, then work together to protect a lost teen

Story (may spoil tone)

Batman discovers a mysterious teen-aged girl with superhuman powers and a connection to Superman. When the girl comes to the attention of Darkseid, the evil overlord of Apokolips, events take a decidedly dangerous turn.

Talk after watching

  • Adults argue over how to raise a powerful teen. What does care look like, not control?
  • Someone tries to turn her into a killer. How do you help a person find their own mind again?
