This is the first film to start the new continuity for completely rebooting the DC animated film continuity following Justice League Dark: Apokalips War. The biggest stand out for me is the complete shift in style in terms of animation for this film. If this is what they want to go with then that's completely fine with me. It definitely sticks out and distinguishes itself completely from everything before it from WB Animation, so it's appropriate to set the tone for this reboot. My biggest knock against the old animation style was that it looked too much like the style for Young Justice and made me think that those shows and the films were in the same continuity when they weren't in the least.
This seems like it's going to be a "proper" reintroduction to the Man of Steel that we need right now, despite the fact that I think that DC Comics should focus on their lesser known heroes right now over the Trinity. Then again, if you're going to restart your comics universe, you better start it off with Superman to get ball rolling properly.
