tavm Review of Superman: Eleventh Hour

Superman: Eleventh Hour (I) (1942)

Eleventh Hour is interesting World War II era Superman cartoon

[6/10 · 6 December 2006]

In Eleventh Hour, Lois and Clark are in Japan investigating Japanesse military plots. Every night Superman sabotages any Japanesse action. Finally, they threaten to kill Lois if Superman again causes sabotage to Japan. When he does, Superman is trapped under falling steel as the enemies prepare to execute Lois. Of course, Superman gets out in time to deflect the bullets meant for Lois. And the eleventh hour strikes again...Interesting topical World War II era cartoon of Superman. May offend some Asians today but at least Superman doesn't kill them. Certainly worth a look to anyone who's curious about U.S. propaganda during the second World War.
