Years ago, a city was shaken by two super-brothers having a super-spat, but their legend lives on in a gang whose leader wants to continue the fight.

It’s not particularly superhero and doesn’t really establish any sort of franchise. It’s not bad, and it’s not great; it’s just fine. It’s vanilla, and sometimes that’s just what you want.

Some idiots go grave robbing to protect a thing, leading bad guys there to steal the thing, then a worse guy shows up, then assholes some fight instead of talk, and there is some dialog throughout and with all the action and dead men, no women are even hurt; equality!
