Until very recently with the release of James Wan’s Aquaman, the film side of the DC Universe has had patchy track record to say the least. Warner Bros are clearly still finding their feet, while also chasing the tail of their Disney competitors. On the animated side of the spectrum however, things have always looked a little brighter. DC have always been comfortably reliable in terms of their animated output, dating all the way back to the critically acclaimed Batman series of the 90’s. Now, Warner Animation have taken another stab at the renowned ‘Death of Superman’ comic storyline.The well-documented and heavily-adapted plotline of the early 90’s is something even casual audience members will have an awareness of by now.

Guy Lodge Film Critic Quick, silly and lent weight only by the costume department’s copious wigs and furs, “The Crime Is Mine” finds tireless French auteur François Ozon in the playful period pastiche mode of “Potiche” and “8 Women.” It’s a film less about any frenetic onscreen shenanigans as it is about its own mood board of sartorial and cinematic reference points — Jean Renoir, Billy Wilder, some vintage Chanel — and as such it slips down as fizzily and forgettably as a bottle of off-brand sparkling wine. This story of an aspiring stage star standing trial for a top impresario’s murder (and making the most of her moment in the tabloid flashbulbs) may be based on a nearly 90-year-old play, but for those versed more in Hollywood and Broadway than in French theater, Ozon’s adaptation resembles a kind of diva fanfic: What if Roxie Hart went up against Norma Desmond, except in rollicking 1930s Paris? As it happens, Georges Berr and Louis Verneuil’s 1934 comedy “Mon crime” has twice been adapted into Hollywood screwball romps: 1937’s Carole Lombard vehicle “True Confession” and the lesser 1946 remake “Cross My Heart,” starring Betty Hutton.
