 Pretty good. June 15, 2009
Kevin S. Abraham (Long Island, NY)
This film does not have the "Death of Superman" story in its entirety as depicted in the comics. It's an extremely condensed version of the story. But for what it is, it's a pretty good film. The special features included in the DVD are very good and contribute to making the DVD a worthwhile purchase.
Doom for Doomsday? May 27, 2009
Kona
Nothing wrong with a makeover. More adult oriented than expected, but still a great show. Didn't like how they drew the Man of Steel - looked more like Samuri Jack's long lost cousin (face). Expected the fight with Doomsday to last a bit longer, but they had to move on to the real plot. Buy it - you'll be glad you did.
Good if seriously condensed film version of graphic novel May 25, 2009
Michael Andrews (New York, NY)
I have the three graphic novels in the Death of Superman storyline: Death Of,World Without A Superman, and the mega-epic Return of Superman; all excellent. This animated adaptation is good solid fun although it lacks the complexity and scope of the original books, but you cant totally translate everything on the page into an animated film since you only have a limited timeframe anyway unless it were a live action piece. Still, very good addition to the DC Animated Universe films.

The discs are great and the story is told in the right measures for all audiences. The plot is well known by most people and if not those people would enjoy the show.
Not as bad as folks are proclaiming May 16, 2009
alaskanseminole (San Antonio, Texas)
I read a lot of the negative reviews before watching this, but decided to purchase it anyway so I could judge for myself. After watching it with my kids (who loved it, btw) I can honestly say it's not as bad as many have proclaimed. First off, I really enjoyed Adam Baldwin as Superman (surprisingly so, since he was the opposite of a "superman" in the Firefly series) and James Marsters was brilliant as Lex Luthor. I will have to admit, though, that Ann Heche was a poor choice for Lois. I couldn't get her face out of my head from Six Days, Seven Nights, which was quite annoying as I got lost in the actual character when it came to the rest of the cast.
As for the story I agree it would have been nice had the writers focused more on a world without Superman, but as to including storylines dealing with other heroes reactions I can't see how that would be prevalent in a Superman movie. Had this been a Justice League film I can see where that would be justified, but this wasn't the case.
All-in-all I think this was a solid film with pretty good animation. My only complaint in this area would be the harsh lines on Supes face. They made him look rather old. Bottom line, if you're a casual Superman fan I can't see why you wouldn't want to add this to your collection. If you're an obsessed comic book type fan, then you might take issue with the liberal take on the story of the death of Superman.
