Superman learns that there is a new superhero team around, The Elite. They quickly prove themselves a team of extraordinary power guided by a confident sense of direct practicality. As their popularity grows, Superman finds that they are outshining him with disquieting methods that grow more ruthless by the day even as the public appears to approve of their sneering dismissal of the Man of Steel's sense of moral restraint. However, as Lois Lane digs into the truth of the Elite, the secrets discovered combine with the team's escalating arrogance to create a menace determined to destroy Superman for their own power. Against that, Superman will have to resort to a disturbingly unorthodox solution to defeat them with a new perspective they cannot ignore.

| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseThe conflict between The Elite's way of doing things and Superman's sets up a "might makes right" allegory wrestling with national and global politics as well as, on a more personal level, civilian tolerance of capital punishment. [Blu-ray] |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonLike All-Star Superman before it, SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE is an exceptional animated superhero movie. It's violent and has some adult subject matter, but it also has a strong, thoughtful story and worthwhile messages. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesWith better visuals, it would easily be among the Top 5 DC animated films, but dubious designs keep it just out of elite class status. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A forgettable Superman vehicle and one I won't be re-visiting any time soon. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageRob VauxGreat story or bad art? You can't get one without the other in Superman vs. The Elite and that's a crying shame... |
| User ReviewChristo MGreat movie, 10\10. Had me torn throughout the whole thing on whether or not I agree with Superman or the Elite, but in the end it made me realize that if we have a high enough belief in humanity MAYBE, just MAYBE a non-violent solution will reign through. |
| User Reviewavraam dThis film exhibits one of the fundamental tensions of civilized society and shows what can happen when the wrong path is taken . |
| User ReviewYoshio CLoved it. The questions Superman asks himself throughout are questions I have been longing to hear him ponder. |
| User ReviewThomas PThe best of DC's animated features. This film explores possibly the most asked questions about superheroes, and does so extremely well. |
| User ReviewJacob M"Superman vs. The Elite" is a great little animated movie about the clash between the idealism of the past and the gritty reality of the Post-Modern world with Superman's refusal to kill unnecessarily being put to the test by the Elites, a group who believe might makes right and that killing evil is the only way to stop it. This is a movie that is very relevant to today and shows that, as Superman says, "Dreams save us" even, or perhaps especially, in the chaotic times we are living in now. |
