Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Superman: Man of Tomorrow earns its spot. What makes Superman: Man of Tomorrow work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. It’s the dawn of a new age of heroes, and Metropolis has just met its first. But as Daily Planet intern Clark Kent – working alongside reporter Lois Lane – secretly wields his alien powers of flight, super-strength and x-ray vision in the battle for good, there’s even greater trouble on the horizon. Darren Criss and Zachary Quinto lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It was released in 2020. What separates Superman: Man of Tomorrow from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
