The Review: The Death Of Superman



The Death Of Superman 8/10

This one movie did more to endure me to Superman as a character than Man Of Steel, Batman V Superman, and Justice League combined. The Death Of Superman is not like the comic book version. This animated DC Universe takes bits and pieces from different areas and timelines of DC Comics and makes it its own thing which I appreciate. The biggest thing that this got right was that it showed one thing that movies have had a problem showing: Superman being loved. There is a big difference between being loved and being appreciated. In the movies Superman is appreciated because he saves people and leaves. He isn't trying to be famous for what he does. I mean, in those two times we saw him do it in the latest films. In these movies Superman is welcomed. He has friends. He has a personal life. He is a well rounded character, not just a guy that punches big things and destroys the city. Yeah, the city gets fucked up in this but not as much as I expected.
