Love it. Nice touch with the "cartoonification" of the TV and movie Supermans. Even nicer touch with the 50's style "woosh" sound of George Reeves flying by.

Considering Bruce Timm's involvement in the short, it's great that they threw in the brief glimpse of the STAS incarnation.

-3 for reminding me of Superman Red/Blue. So I guess that gets a 6/10.

Bonus points for using the Superman theme, though. And their iteration of the 'Man of Steel' suit looked tons better than the movie one. At least those guys got the colours right.
'Next time I let Superman take charge, just hit me. Real hard.'
'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'

Wait is there another one? I sort of figured once you got John Williams to write you a score, that was the definitive score now and forever.

Why do you think I called it 'the' score? :D And technically every score from a Superman movie/TV series is 'a' Superman score.
While none of them are as grand as the Williams one, STAS and Superman:Doomsday weren't half bad in my opinion.

STAS was okay, don't think I ever heard Doomsday.

Zack Snyder, nice. I thought Man of Steel could've been stronger, but generally I like his work.

I've got fond memories of it given it was my first exposure to Big Blue.
