Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA throwaway line of dialog actually establishes that in this continuity, Bruce Wayne became the Batman before Kent went public as Superman; while Kent ponders adopting a costumed alter ego, Martha Kent actually refers to "that nut in Gotham". In most other continuities, Kent's emergence as Superman predates Bruce Wayne's emergence as the Batman since Action Comics#1 came out before Detective Comics#27 (the respective first appearances of Superman and the Batman). The Earth-1 Kent began his champion career as Superboy well before the Earth-1 Wayne became the Batman. However, two stories indicate that the Earth-2 Batman was active as early as 1937 (Detective Comics#65 and World's Finest Comics#60); since the first Batman story in Detective Comics#27 was not an origin story, this may indicate that the Earth-2 Batman began as an adventurer before the Earth-2 Kent became Superman.
- Quotes
Jonathan Kent: No, son. It doesn't matter where you were born or what you can do, you'll always be Clark Kent. Superman just helps out now and then.
Martha Kent: Still, it wouldn't be bad if people knew a little more about Superman. I don't want anyone thinking you're like that nut in Gotham City.

Featured review
Superman Begins In A Good Way
Superman: The Last Son of Krypton is a movie that serves as the three-part series premiere to Superman: The Animated Series. In this, Jor-El sends his infant son when Krypton is destroyed, the knowledge kept from the planet's people by Brainiac, who also escapes. The baby grows up under the name of Clark Kent, and after learning of his heritage after saving a little girl from an exploding RV, he moves on to Metropolis as an adult and becomes Superman. And at a good time, as Lex Luthor is plotting to give a battlesuit to terrorists from Kaznia.
A show released four years after Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Last Son of Krypton has the same great storytelling as its predecessor, despite being set in a lighter tone. The action sequences are great, and there is even a reference to Batman (since his cartoon came first). This is a good start to one of the greatest animated shows of the 1990's.
