Our take
Jonathan Kent is 11. Damian Wayne is a trained fighter. They bicker, then team up when an alien parasite takes over people. The boys are in danger for most of the film. You will hear damn, the a-word, and a b-word phrase. Watch with a parent at 15. It is brighter than the grim Batman films, but the kids still get hit
Uplifting themes
The boys learn to work together instead of competing for their fathers' shadows Jonathan wants to help, not harm. Damian slowly chooses the team over going it alone
Story (may spoil tone)
After discovering he has powers, 11-year-old Jonathan Kent and assassin-turned-Boy-Wonder Damian Wayne must join forces to rescue their fathers (Superman & Batman) and save the planet from the malevolent alien force known as Starro.

Talk after watching
- Two boys with famous dads have to work together. What made that hard?
- Having power is not the same as being ready. When should a kid ask for adult help?
