Storyline

Trivia
The sound used for Lobo's space bike is the characteristic sound produced by Harley-Davidson V-Twin motors, overlaid with some science fiction noises. The chugging of the engine, however, is unmistakable seeing as Harley-Davidson wanted to patent the sound in the 1990s.

Goofs
Within the story, it is never revealed who offered the bounty for Lobo to 'collect' Kal-El from Earth, so there is a question as to who "out there' knows about him. Also, Lobo has a reputation of always 'getting his man' yet he leaves Superman on Earth with no comment about giving up his bounty.

Quotes
Martian Manhunter: ...The last thing your mother ever said to you was: "to dwell in the past, is to lose one's path "

Crazy credits
There is no post-credit scene on this movie.

Good story, but we didn't need another alternate origin story...

Well, truth be told, I can't really claim to have been much overly excited when I sat down to watch this 2020 animated "Superman" movie. Why? Well, it is a superhero movie, and I am really overly keen on those. But still, two things made me sit down to watch "Superman: Man of Tomorrow". First of all, I hadn't already seen it, and I do like to watch movies I haven't already seen. And secondly, it had Lobo in it!

Now, I will say that the storyline actually turned out to be good. I was enjoying it, for sure. But truth be told, why do we need another alternate origins story to Clark Kent and Superman? Haven't there been enough of those made already? To me, it grows tiresome when they keep re-writing origins stories for characters.

It should be said that they had a good ensemble of voice actors and actresses brought in for this animated movie. And that is a very important aspect for an animated movie's success; having the right voice cast. I was very thrilled to know that it was Ryan Hurst adding his rough voice to Lobo, because that was just a superb fit.

The animation style in "Superman: Man of Tomorrow" was adequate, although it bordered on being a bit too edgy at times. I mean, the style of drawing, not the way it was presented. Of course, this is a matter of personal preference. It was good, but I prefer a bit more smooth art style for animated movies.

"Superman: Man of Tomorrow" will definitely please fans of the DC universe, I believe that much, and it was actually well-worth sitting down to watch.

My rating of the 2020 "Superman: Man of Tomorrow" lands on a six out of ten stars.
