TLSoK is the first three episodes of
Superman TAS put together into a one-hour TV Movie. The join could've been better, but the pacing is pretty good. It's the now-familiar origin story of Krypton's finest son, but familiarity doesn't dull it. In fact, the scenes on the doomed planet are the best part. So too is the voice work; the Earth cast are good, too, but not as impressive as Krypton's.
Clark/Superman's (
Tim Daly) adolescence is a little hurried, but the key players do each get time in the spotlight, as does the series main villain, the follically-challenged billionaire Lex Luthor (
Clancy Brown).
Being sold as a pick-up-and-watch movie makes the open ending feel a little awkward, so you might want to get
TAS afterwards for the rest.
