The Death of Superman Trailer (Animated Film Summer 2018)

[Woodrow]

the death of superman storyline was a cultural touchstone but any event advertising the death of superman would have gotten the same attention. the story itself is a huge dud and the character hasn't recovered since.

doomsday in particular is like the dumbest, most least inspired villain there is.

No offense. But damn near everything you just said is wrong.

Doomsday was a commercial success and still plays an important role in Superman’s rogues gallery.

Cyborg Superman and the Eradicator are still major players in the DC universe. Cyborg Superman also played a role in one of the greatest Green Lantern arcs of all-time.

Arguably the greatest Superman story of all-time (All-Star Superman) was written more than a decade after DoS.

Some of the best Superman stories of the past 20 years have happened in the last 3 years. In fact, the direction of Superman in the comics has rarely ever been on surer ground with the reintroduction of Lois as a love interest and the introduction of his son.

Oh... and the most popular mainstream comics writer in the country is currently handling both of DC’s Superman titles. And the guy who brought us Night of the Owls is handling Justice League.

The only reason you could possibly try to make this argument is because of how bad the DCEU is. Which is fine. But to say the character hasn’t recovered is some lazy, message board bullshyt.

of course it was a 'commercial success'... it was the death of superman, it was advertised as a huge event. doesn't change the fact that it's a lazy, uninspired story.

superman, the indestructible icon of 50 years, finally meets his end... because he loses a fight against a newly introduced discount hulk knockoff.


no grand story, no profound ending... nope... superman dies in a fight with a monster. wow. okay. goes against the whole concept of superman... but okay.

and to make matters worse it's not even like anything was learned or gained from it. no greater insight into superman as a character, nothing. he just dies... everyone is sad... there's a funeral... and that's that.

and i'm sorry the character really hasn't recovered. that was the last time superman was really at the center of any kind of cultural moment and was during the late 90's-early 2000's in which his popularity began to sink dramatically in favor of other more 'edgy' heroes.

I need animated adaptations of Batman: Knightfall and Marvel vs DC.. or any of the Marvel/DC crossovers

Speaking of which, it’s crazy how Marvel is running the film industry so much that they stopped making animation films

That's never happening outside a comic book

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Probably gonna rent this one tomorrow night from Redbox.

I love that era of Superboy, before he became a boring emo dude in a black t-shirt and blue jeans. Can't stand him on Young Justice.

saitama can fly now?

 

[T’Challa’s Heir]

Just watched. shyt was fire. I thought they did a good job setting up the reign of the supermen. And it did a good job of blending Post crisis stuff with the New 52 elements.

 

[(ALi)]

Is the second part out?

 

[kingdarius]

Is the second part out?

next year

 

[blankstairz]

Lex walking around LexCorp clowning the sh*t out of all of his employees.
Clark telling Lois he is Superman, and Lois still not recognizing him until Clark takes his glasses off.



Action was pretty good. Just about everyone in the League got washed except for WW and Supes. Batman did the best he could considering he is human.

Great fight between Supes and Doomsday.

Good movie.
