I honestly can not express how I feel about this film. I mean on one hand the geek in me and Superman/Batman comic fan in me say that this is a great adaptation of the comic to cartoon. The Parent in me is outraged at DC Entertainment. My son LOVES the Superman/Batman comic. I thought it was the one safe Comic I could rely on for a 10 year old boy. I know that comics codes are getting more slack as the time goes on and the culture we live in gets further away from any kind of Biblical morals. And it makes it hard for me to accept that. But DC and especially this Superman/Batman series seems to be some what Kid friendly. More than lets say the actual Batman series or Even Green Lantern and such. I am out right leaving Marvel out of it because they have gone off the deep end a long time ago.
My son has been so excited (as have I) for this DVD to come out. I had just bought the green Lantern:First Flight DVD and was also disappointed with the language in it as well so I knew that if Superman/Batman was PG-13 I needed to watch it first.
With in the first 2 min of the movie .. I turned it off. I didn't even get to the main Title. There was a Daily Show-like host providing political commentary and he says "also like getting (beep)ed in the (beep) with a red hot poker" ... I was speechless.. I mean the beeps were there.. but come on.. Why? Why did they have to put that?
It is already getting hard for me to enjoy movies that have foul vulgar language in them as it is, but when you start tainting the movies my kids love.. that vexes me. I mean, why not add more violence and keep the sex and language out?
Okay, from what I have read (because I am not watching the rest of the movie on principle) there is a reference to Powergirl's large chest and Lex calls his female assistant a bitch as well as at least one "what the hell" that I heard. These are not the things I want my kids repeating. (not even if he was over 13) That is not the kind of people we are. But guess what, this stupid culture we are in will say that I am too strict and that you can not avoid stuff like that. Well I am angry that I HAVE to make that kind of a choice.. I HAVE to tell my kid that he can not have this movie that he has been wanting ever since he has heard of it, I HAVE to tell him that it is a bad movie and he is not allowed to see it. because I am a responsible moral parent and I actually love and care about my kid and do not want him to be like the garbage that uses this kind of language.. I am forced to make this decision by the modern media and culture because I answer to some one greater than them or me, ...Christ.
My rating: I give it no rating
