Parents Need To Know

Positive Messages
Superman could just let his astounding powers go to his head and become a self-righteous super-vigilante or demi-god, but he doesn't. We see this trait in others (Lex Luthor among them). Lois is fearless and smart, but she still needs rescuing almost continuously; ditto the less resourceful Jimmy Olsen.
Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
Intense animated violence, to the point that Superman bleeds. Characters are killed, including (off-screen) a child. There are beatings, and (off-screen) heads are broken, spines are snapped -- animals as well as people. One character shot to death.
Sex
Nothing overt, but it's clear that Superman and Lois are lovers and cohabitate when they can. Naked male superbodies in cloning chambers have private parts obscured (rather amusingly, a la Austin Powers) by gravity-defying mounds of liquid.
Language
"Hell," "ass," "rectum," and the euphemism "frigging."
Consumerism
Tie-in to vast quantities of related merchandise.
Education Value
Ease of Play
Privacy
Drinking under duress by Perry White.
