| frightening |
There are many instances of brutal violence, some of it graphic. The Atomic Skull and The Hat are very terrifying villains, with the later using black magic to summon demons. Superman's acting insane during the film's climax is very, very frightening. However, it is revealed to be a trick by the superhero both to defeat the villains and to demonstrate what he could be willing to do if his personal morals were abandoned |
