I really tripped out on the late Michael Turner’s art, and I think the best looking comic I have ever seen is his work in Superman/Batman Supergirl – written by Jeph Loeb and inked by Curt Steigerwald. It’s a retelling of Supergirl’s arrival on earth – and is, as far as I know, unconnected to the main DC timelines.
The animated version was disappointing. The biggest hink was finding Darkseid voiced by Andre Braugher – instead of Michael Ironside.Not even the presence of squee queen of the SciFi genre, Summer Glau, could undo this.
The second was the art. The art was supposed to resemble Turner’s rendering of the characters, the way that Public Enemies art was supposed to resemble Ed McGuiness’ work on the original comic title. But the art seems off. The actual art just does not come anywhere near the brilliance of the work Turner and Steigerwald put in the comic.
