A Darker Shade Of Superman... November 10, 2008
Bindy Sue Fronkuenschtein (under the rubble)
I loved the original storyline back in the early '90s comics (yep, I still have the black plastic-sealed copy of the death issue). I also enjoy the Superman animated movies. DOOMSDAY is very well done. I wasn't expecting it to be exactly like the comic books. I knew it would be different, and it is. Better? Worse? No, just different. The epic battle between Big Blue and Doomsday is fierce and catastrophic. Lives are lost, buildings are demolished, and there appears to be no hope. This serves as the mere intro to the bulk of the story, where we get to see just how evil Lex Luthor actually is. Using the basic idea from the Superman resurrection plot, DOOMSDAY gives us a nice, wicked world-domination twist! Who comes up out of that grave? What is it that seems strange about him? Why does he seem to have a new agenda? Can Lois get to the bottom of things before Luthor has his way? Will Metropolis ever have it's true guardian back? Great stuff! Highly recommended...
Superman is dead...or is he???? November 10, 2008
The Wickerman (Austin, TX)
This was a really nice surprise for me. I watched it not really expecting much of anything, but this is a really exciting and well-written animated movie. Based loosely upon the "death of Superman" issues of the comics, it is a retelling of the Man of Steel's untimely demise following his epic battle with Doomsday. There are many discrepancies from the comic, particularly Doomsday's origins, and the fight is considerably scaled down, but the fight sequence between them is still spectacular. br / br /I was a bit disappointed at first to find that Doomsday is actually a smaller part of this story than you might think. However, that disappointment is short-lived, because the rest of the story is fantastic as well. As you might guess, Superman's death is only temporary and soon he's back in action, but it's quickly apparent that things are not what they seem. br / br /Overall, this is just a really great story, especially considering it's "only a cartoon". I found myself more than once wishing this were live action, because that really would have been amazing. Still, as it is, this is easily up there with most of the live action superhero movies made recently (and it's WAY better than "Superman Returns"). I really like the sort of "oldschool" animation, that is, not computer generated. You don't really see this kind of thing that much these days, which is kind of sad, in my opinion. This animation style reminds me very much of the cartoons I used to watch as a kid. However, it should be noted that this is NOT for kids. With a PG-13 rating, it is considerably darker and more violent than any Superman cartoon I've seen. Plus, there's a bit of mild language and a more mature and emotionally complex story than what you might expect. br / br /The voiceover work is great as well. Adam Baldwin has the Superman voice down perfectly, and Anne Heche is a surprisingly good Lois Lane. James Marsters, who of course plays Brainiac on "Smallville", this time provides the voice of Lex Luthor, and his performance is spot-on as well. Other vocal talents include Ray Wise, Adam Wylie, Cree Summer, and there's even a funny cameo from Kevin Smith. br / br /If there's one thing here that didn't really work for me, it's Superman's goofy robot butler, which was really just cheesy and probably unnecesary. I guess it did provide some comic relief to an otherwise dark story, but I don't know, I could have done without it. He was voiced by Tom Kenny, the guy that does Spongebob, so I guess that's kinda cool. br / br /Anyway, I think that for any Superman fan, this is more than worth checking out. Great action, and a great story. You can't go wrong.
 Much Better What Has Been Written Hear. October 28, 2008
----john J. Butera (WOODLAND PARK, CO USA)
I had read so many bad reviews I did not get this. I eventually did and was pleasantly surprised. To start this is NOT the Doomsday of the Comic Book as it would be impossible for them to do so except in a 4 hour movie. This is its own story though quite similar to the comic but takes its own course in a very different direction. Similarly there is a Doomsday though not a tortured son of Krypton, it is an Alien creation. Superman does "die" and a replacement appears. Luther is quite the villian and Superman does have some interesting challenges. br / I liked it my wife liked it and the EXTRA BONUS feature is Very Good and as another reviewer wrote Worth the price of the DVD. So I hardily recommend this DVD enjoy but DO NOT expect a video version of the comic book, its not hear and probably never will be. This is its own creature and as I said a good one at that. Great colors and clarity of DVD! JB

The animation is very similiar to the justice league dvd. I thought this would be very similiar to the comic but it wasn't even close, and it was a summarized version of the comics. It didn't even involve the other supermen... br / br /It wouldn't be bad if i hadn't read the comics, which i suggest over this...
