So I was on the way home from my Tablet PC class in Louisville. I got a late start (as I'll explain shortly), and I wanted to stop in Dayton to see Apollo 15 at the Air Force Museum. So I checked into a hotel for the night. And I turned on the TV, flipping through channels for something to watch on a Saturday night.

And I came across the world premier of Superman - Brainiac Attacks on Cartoon Network. This premier was, naturally, intended to promote the DVD release on Tuesday (as well as to hype interest in the film that opens on the 28th, of course). And as usual for the recent Warner animated superhero shows, it was quite well done.

Tim Daly, one of my favorite underrated actors, returns as the voice of Clark/Superman, and Dana Delaney returns as Lois. The story has two primary threads: Clark's desire to share his secret with Lois and his fear that he might put her in danger, and Luthor's plan to rebuild Braniac and work with him to conquer the Earth. The two threads come together when the new, improved Braniac tracks Clark down in his secret identity, and Lois gets injured and infected in the ensuing battle. Will he have to choose between Lois and his responsibilities as Superman? Well, that would spoil the ending, so I'm not going to say.

I missed the first half hour, so I hope I can see it again soon.
