My main issue is the time travel story. Yes, there are time paradoxons in time travel stories (of course!). But the way they did it is a reverse time travel paradoxon which defies logic.
Correct Time Travel Paradoxon:
1. We have someone from the future in a certain "state" 2. a time traveler goes back to prevent this "state"
Here we have the reverse. Adam Strange travels back to save Superman. But before he traveled back Superman would not EXIST. He would not have a REASON to travel back, if Superman only exists BECAUSE he traveled back. It only would work if he traveled back to PREVENT Superman from existing. Or if he traveled back from a future in which Superman did not exist (but then he would not know of him) to make him exist.
But without his actions (at least that's what the series claims) Superman would not exist. So in the "mainline" future he would not exist. And why then would he travel back, if Superman does not exist and he cannot know that he COULD exist?
Time Travel story does not mean to forget about all logic.
Still, the movie was fun to watch (first episode only right now).
I do not object to the British accents. Superman learned language from his Earth-parents, not from his Krypton-parents. So he can have a different accent than them (and actually he would speak not the same language, Superman speaks English, his Krypton-Parents speak the language of Krypton - which Adam Strange seems to have learned in some way, BTW? (Well, maybe Superman teached him, not much other candidates as teachers available... and appearently he spoke it good enough that nobody took him for a non-native-speaker...). Still I see this as a minor logic issue compared to the time travel one...
