Nice collection of shorts of different characters from the DC Universe. Aside from the two in the title, there are also shorts featuring Green Arrow, The Spectre, and Jonah Hex. All are well done and well voiced, but be warned- these shorts are rated PG-13 for a reason. They are NOT for very young children, as they are quite violent, so parents, take the rating seriously. Comic fans should enjoy this collection.
I had already seen the other short animated films, but the Superman/Shazam was a lot better than expected. The director of all these shorts, Joaquim Dos Santos< has a really cool anime style that really seperates itself from the other DC long films. He also knows how to get good action sequences, which is key in these type of stories. Well done, although they're short stories.
I loved the Superman/Captain Marvel (I refuse to call him Shazam) and Spectre shorts but I was disappointed that the Green Arrow and Jonah Hex additions had already been included in Batman:Under the Red Hood. Both were good but there should have been newer inclusions. Don't let that disuade you though, the first two are worth the rental
