Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for superhero fans and anyone who loves watching the truth get chased down. Comic-book roots, so expect big stakes and bigger set pieces. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Wastes no time getting going, at 10 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1941: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

After The Daily Planet receives a letter from a mad scientist threatening to wreak destruction with his Electrothanasia Ray, Lois Lane heads out in the hopes of getting more information for a news story.
