Kryptonita (transl. Kryptonite) is a 2015 Argentine action drama fantasy film co-written and directed by Nicanor Loreti and starring Pablo Rago, Lautaro Delgado, Juan Palomino and Diego Capusotto and based on the novel of the same name by Leonardo Oyola.[2] The story uses Elseworlds' famous structure of alternative stories to adapt DC's Justice League superheroes to a suburban setting in Argentina, where Superman and his team are a gang with a low class background battling a corrupt police force and local versions of Doomsday and the Joker.[3] It was officially released in the 2015 edition of the Mar del Plata International Film Festival.[4][5]
After the success of the film, it was announced that the story would be adapted as a TV series sequel for the Argentine cable television channel Space. The series is titled Nafta Super and it premiered on November 16 of 2016. Nafta Super is a direct sequel to the film, picking up a few months after the story for Kryptonita ended, and with most of the original cast returning for a total of eight episodes.[6]
