Superman/Batman: Apocalypse is #9 in the DCUAO, and serves as a direct sequel to Batman/Superman: Public Enemies. Supposedly. But really it this should have been billed as Supergirl's own movie. Or at the least, should have been a Justice League movie given that Wonder Woman actually plays a bigger role here than Batman does. After the amazing Batman: Under The Red Hood, Bats is relegated to just kind of being around in this movie. But the Supergirl stuff was pretty cool. Some of my favorite takes on the Kara character was always the kind of fish-out-water stuff - so the montage here of Clark showing her around Metropolis and bringing her shopping and stuff was a good touch. And THEN the involvement of Wonder Woman when Kara hasn't learned to control her powers yet, also good stuff. But then there was some questionable stuff. Like... an army of Doomsday clones. You're telling me that ONE Doomsday can kill Superman, but a small army of Amazons can keep up with a march larger army of Doomsdays? And I don't know, the story kind of breaks down towards the end and doesn't stay super compelling. I feel like this should have just been a proper Supergirl movie instead of a shoehorned thing where she's introduced and then vanishes during the second act. Shrug. Also, I don't understand the physics of Kara's hair. Haha. This was kind of mid-tier in the series for me.
