Just when you think the superhero genre has been flogged to death, every modicum of originality extinguished by umpteen-million variations on the same concept, a production comes along that makes you think: hmm, yeah, Iâll watch that. The twist in Jupiterâs Legacy is that the superheroes are old codgers who received their powers in the 1930s and must adapt to a changing world. An ageing hero is largely what made Frank Millerâs classic graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns so interesting: long since retired, Batman returns Rocky Balboa style as a much older man â but every punch hurts, and the olâ knees ainât what they used to be.
