River is portrayed by actress Summer Glau in the 2002 TV series Firefly and the 2005 film Serenity. In 2005, Summer Glau won the SFX magazine award for Best Actress for her role as River in Serenity. Glau later won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress, again for her role as River in Serenity in May 2006. Glau was also runner up for Best Actress/Movie in the SyFy Genre Awards for 2006. Joss Whedon selected Summer Glau for the role after having previously worked with her on another of his shows, Angel. River Tam was Glau's first major role. In many of the hand-to-hand combat scenes featuring the character, particularly those in Serenity, Glau's own experience in ballet dancing was incorporated into her fight choreography. #river #summerglau #sfx #saturn #serenity #josswhedon #angel #rivertam #ballet #fightcoreography #choreography #fight #SpeedAndGrace #Speedandgrace2 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnyELaxopor/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (2010)

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse could have been so much more than this. While superhero fans will probably enjoy this story, it never rises above the mediocre source material.

A sequel to Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, the story begins when a meteorite impacts Gotham City harbor. From the crater emerges Kara Zor-El (voiced by Summer Glau), Superman’s lost cousin. Batman (Kevin Conroy) is suspicious. Superman (Tim Daly) is overjoyed. When the evil Darkseid (Andre Braugher) kidnaps and brings her to his hellish homeworld of Apokolips, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman (Susan Eisenberg), and former Apokolips resident Big Barda (Julianne Grossman) embark on a rescue mission.

To its credit, this is a faithful adaptation of the graphic novel. While Michael Turner's artwork is simplified, you can still recognize his style. All the characters, plot points, and battles are preserved. If you’re a fan of the book, you’ll be pleased with this story.

Therein lies the problem, however. This story is filled with flashy moments that make little sense. A perfect example is a scene that pits Wonder Woman, her Amazon sisters, Batman, and Superman against an army of Doomsday clones. Remember Doomsday? Introduced in the 1992 Death of Superman storyline? How cool is it to see hundreds of him? Not at all. When the monster shows up once, fights Superman to the death, that’s epic. When both are resurrected and fight a second time, the stakes are diminished. A hundred Doomsdays is just silly. Doubly silly when you realize it's the same model copy-pasted over-and-over with more than a few layering errors on-screen.

Too many story decisions don't hold up under scrutiny. Why would Darkseid get into a fistfight with Superman? He’s a god! Isn’t close combat beneath him? What his armies are for? Why do Wonder Woman and Batman immediately begin conspiring against their friends instead of talking to them? Just so we could get more action sequences?

There's no effort to rework or polish the story originally penned by hit-or-miss Jeph Loeb. Once accustomed to Earth, Supergirl proves herself a bore by shopping for clothes and shoes, by complaining that she's broken a nail. She's simply a gender-swapped version of Superman with stereotypical female attributes slapped on. If you think they'll resist an opportunity to overly sexualize her, you're wrong.

While you'll get a kick out of hearing Conroy, Daly, Eisenberg, and Ed Asner (who voices Granny Goodness) return, the voice acting is another miss. Andre Braugher is awful as Darkseid, having no presence or menace whatsoever. Inexplicably giving the lord of Apokolips the ability to fly doesn't compensate. All it does is create a bunch of plot holes during the conclusion. At least the action scenes - despite being utterly ridiculous - are kind of cool and well done.

Less discriminating comic book fans will not dislike the film as much as I did. I saw the sequences with Wonder Woman and Big Barda - who are well developed and never feel like they’re weaker or less valuable than their male counterparts - and glimpsed at what the film could have been. With a story that tries too hard to be cool, a villain that's as intimidating as a kitten, and a story that's mediocre at best, you'll be more entertained by the Green Arrow short included on the DVD/Blu-ray than the main feature. There are some good moments in Superman/Batman: Apocalypse but this may be the weakest of the DC Animated films. (On Blu-ray, July 22, 2015)
