...the DreamWorks animated film Master Mind, a spoof of superhero films.

According to The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i55545185203bc0b11f0e9df52c2 7b72e), Tina Fey is also going to appear in the voice cast.

The film centers around a super-villain who "loses his life's purpose when he accidentally kills his good-guy arch nemesis".

I like the premise of focusing on a super-villain, but I'm skeptical of DreamWorks animation projects (still haven't seen Kung-Fu Panda).

Does anyone really care when big name actors are signed to do animated films?

Also, the premise is blech. Satirizing/deconstructing super hero mythos is turning into a cliche of its own.

I like that premise. Certainly better than any of the other superhero satires (The Incredibles, SKy High, Hancock etc)

Good premise, but I bet they will somehow screw it up.

Hmm. I actually quite liked Sky High.

This, however, does sound better than Stiller's failed superhero satire, Mystery Men.
