5 OF THE BEST

Taking a simple but effective premise (what if the Justice League were arseholes?), this adaptation of the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson comic takes a walk on the seedier side of superheroism. Jack Quaid stars as Hughie Campbell, a man whose girlfriend is inadvertently liquified before his eyes by high-speed hero A-Train (Jessie T. Usher). Traumatised, he teams up with foul-mouthed former spook Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) has a stand-out turn from Antony Starr () as dead-eyed superpsycho Homelander, and a scene with an airborne dolphin that you won’t forget in a hurry.
