Just Super (Helt Super in Norwegian) is an animated superhero movie directed by Rasmus Andre Sivertsen released in Norway in 2022 with an international dub set to follow shortly after. It tells the story of a young girl named Hedvig whose father is the famous and beloved superhero Super Lion. Wanting his daughter to follow in his footsteps and don the cape herself one day Super Lion seeks to have her succeed him as the next generation's Super Lion and keep the hero's legacy alive. The only problem is that Hedvig isn't much cut out for the role of a hero... at least not one like Super Lion due to a strong preference for video games over any sort of traditional heroics, unlike her more athletic cousin Adrian. Can this unlikely new heroine find a place for herself in the world of superheroes and please her dad in the process or will she just stay stuck on the sidelines her whole life?

Just Super provides examples of:
- Animal-Themed Superbeing: Super Lion of course, it's right there in the name!
- Cool Old Lady: Hedvig's grandmother is definitely one. In the trailer she's shown supporting Hedvig and helping her train to become a proper superhero. She even rides a motorcycle! (Illegally!)Hedvig: I didn't know you had a motorcycle license!Grandma: Well, I don't! Here we go!
- Gamer Chick: Hedvig herself, this is basically her main superpower.
- Legacy Character: Super Lion is apparently one, with the mantle being passed down the family tree from generation to generation.
- Power at a Price: As mentioned in the official trailer the supersuit strengthens both positive and negative traits, amplifying a person's best traits as well as their worst traits.
