Bizarro Classic - Rob Pratt's Superman Returns


This mini animation is a Superman tribute, featuring a villian you might or might not be aware of. Bizzarro, also known as the 'reverse' Superman is the complete antithesis for what the superhero stands for, complete with a reverse S symbol on his cape. The hero was first introduced in 1958 and has become a staple in the Superman universe ever since.

This cartoon really caught my attention thanks to its adherence to the retro, heavy art deco aesthetics. This animated proof of concept cartoon was lovingly fan made, and Rob Pratt even got John Newton (TV's 1980's Superboy)  to voice Superman along with other choice cast members. I absolutely loved it, and look forward to seeing what Rob Pratt cooks up next. The reverse Superman music for when Bizzarro flies in was a nice, subtle touch.
