Superman Doomsday. 

The clone Superman in this movie is my favorite interpretation of an "evil" Superman. He feels so much like Superman, he cares about protecting Metropolis, he cares about protecting the innocent, but he's missing Clark Kent. He's so in control of his own actions that it's chilling. That and he doesn't fall for the red sun + kryptonite trick. Dude dealt with that like a pro.

The red solar radiation room scene is my favourite Lex Luthor scene in any form of media.

yo A an exchange of lines from All Star Superman: Lex: If it wasn't for you I could've saved the world. Superman: If it had mattered to you Luthor, you could've saved the world years ago

Lex’s monologues in this movie are top tier and to this day I can recite them from memory. One major thing this movie taught me was imitating Superman’s humble nature. His line “it’s why I’m here” is something I started saying immediately after watching this movie when it came out. I remember it fondly even if I don’t watch it often.

Yeah Superman sleeping with Lois without telling her he's Clark is just weird

Martha Kent's "That is *not* the boy I raised." is so good for some reason.

Lex's biggest problem is not Superman, it's the face he sees every morning in the mirror. For someone who's so brilliant he always falla in the temper trap he's subject to the tantrums of a infant. I don't know if he's the highest level intillect in the universe, he's up there up there but his emotional flaws detract from his potential. The temper trap is a very powerful thing if you have ever been in one it becomes a feed back loop that leaves you wheel spinning and you just flooring it and wondering why you ain't going anywhere you can't see your fault. I think this is partly what attracts people to Lex he connects to a part in all of us. Theres a saying I like to think I came up with but I've noticed almost everything has already been said maybe just in another way. If you don't have ambition your dead, and if ambition is all you have your the devil. That being said Lex stands pretty close to the edge and we sometimes see some humanity. CS Lewis wrote this. I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern. I think that last bit is Lex. The devil in a nice suit.

before this movie, my only introduction to Superman was with the JL/JLU cartoons, and as a young kid, this movie shook me in more ways than one. The deaths The brutality of Doomsday as he gutpunched Superman, how he bled, thecoldness of seeing somebody that looked like him drop Toyman, and the things I didn't pick up then like the grief from his friends all shaped my appreciation for the boy scout.

"The other remains evil and bald" Of course he's going to stay bald!

That scene with Lois and Martha though. I love it.

I personally prefer the Death and Reign of Superman I feel like that's the only way you can adapt the Death of Superman story is make it a 2 parter because you get Superman Doomsday that feels rushed or in Snyders case combining the Death of Superman and the Dark Knight Returns into a cluster fuck of a movie.

"One is a love story." which is precisely what makes the 2018 adaptation better, imo! I love it when the Clark and Lois dynamic is essentially a love story between Clark and humanity; with Lois Lane being the personification of all we are.

I hadn't realized Bruce Timm was involved in this. Now everything makes sense.

No way, I just watched this film yesterday and was looking for videos on it just a few hours ago lmao. Amazing timing.

Man I adored this movie as a kid. The fight between Supes and Doomsday was my favorite superhero battle ever.

This movie made me cry. The scene where Lois goes to Ma Kent and just breaks down completely broke me

I honestly enjoyed Superman Doomsday from start to finish, and thought it was a good Superman movie that adapted the death and return of Superman with some interesting differences. The fight between Superman and Doomsday was especially brutal. Also, the fight between Superman and his misguided clone did start with a talk, but the clone was just too misguided in his ways. The clone was even willing to kill, and Superman needed the kryptonite and black suit because he simply didn't recover his full strength. Even when Superman was forced to kill his clone, it's clear that he didn't want to do it, and made sure that the clone knew that he would protect the people.

Honestly out of all the death of Superman adaptations I gotta give it to death of Superman animated movie we got years later because personally for me that movie told that story way better then it had ever right to be at least in my opinion.

it's like lex hates superman because despite clark being as human as possible there's always someone faster, stronger and thinking faster than lex.

At the time of watching this, and for awhile after, I admit, I was one of the ones who found superman boring, and didn't care for him. When the "evil" superman took over, I loved him. My typical teenager self loved the edge, scolding the old lady, lazering his own skull to remove a bomb. He was awesome. And it was an utter shame he had to die in the story.

I like this movie….but I still prefer The Death of Superman and Reign of The Supermen more. They were able to handle the stories better because they split them into 2 movies. This one tries to combine both and it’s kinda a mess sometimes.

Loved this movie as a kid, another awesome esaay IP.

i remember my dad getting an early preview of the movie when i was a kid that ended when superman and doomsday caused a shockwave from punching each other. It was the first time I saw superman cut loose and fight tooth and nail which was awesome to see. the connection between the clone and doomsday is a interesting one i never noticed before.

This movie also has my favourite Doomsday design. He looks actually menacing and powerful. And his only priority was to kill anyone that came in his way. No thoughts, no remorse, no words, just killing. And because of this, it feels more believable when Superman is struggling fighting against him. He was pretty much The Incredible Hulk, just without any limitations.

I like to watch the cartoon movie up to the funeral bit. For me, The Death of Superman is one of the greatest comic stories ever told across almost all of its iterations...So long as you ignore the part where they bring him back. If it were me handling the story, he would've stayed dead.

Wait how does Superman know what Lex taste like???

Honestly I heard about death of Superman before this movie but didn't know the clone subplot was actually apart of the story. So much death in this movie from Doomsday being Doomsday to even Mercy Graves being murdered by Lex himself was just off to me. Also I didn't know the Toyman in this film was closer to his comic appearance so I was put off by it compared to his DCAU appearance.

The editing here is top tier, alright I’m going back in

God Leo I absolutely ADORE your work. Belated congrats on the 200k subs!

2:16 that “ew” made me laugh more than it should’ve

i've always felt weird about that red room scene since i saw the film back in jr high. Glad it's weirdness was noticed.

This film was one of the first DC Animated movies I saw as a kid. I remember really liking it & after that my opinion kinda waned. But I'm glad to see it's remembered even now, it did have many great moments.

On another note, Lex Luthor developing a single inoculation cure for a horrible disease that he wants to withhold from the world to make a profit, and a couple of heroes finding out about him doing that and wanting to break in to steal the cure before he can patent it would make such a COOL heist story. I'd love the shit outa that!

Love all your videos, it I miss the previous end credits song.

8:20 Out of topic, i know, but how would Superman know what Lex tastes like?

You changed the credits music. Wasn't expecting that.

Still the best portrayal of Doomsday and the best animated fight of the DCAU. We talked about it recently on the r/Superman.

I want the previous video’s intro.

Funny enough in a video about a movie called “Super Doomsday” Doomsday is only mentioned like 2 times

I see you changed up the outro music

What's going on with superman cheekbones in this lmao he looks so funny

Death of Superman is better to me. It was so effective it fully made a Superman fan out of me.

Still Love the Movie, Despite the Flaws you mention which i agree with, disagree or think it's being overblown but by Far the best part is the beggining until the Death of Superman, Doomsday Especially in this movie was something else.

I will never get tired of you discussing DC animated properties

Actually, the recent Death of Superman animated film also asked Lois is everyone was safe before he died. That line was coined by the comics Death of Superman

It's not official but i've always thought this movie is a sequel to Brainic attacks, since in that movie there's this scene when Lois realize how much Clark and Superman look alike, she demands to Superman to enter into a real relationship and also in that they say they will send Clark overseas and in this one he's supposed to go and later is supposed to be missing, so nobody suspects when he's not around while Superman is death. Also for me this 8s the best conclusion to the fight between Supes and Doomsday. Since in the comic they both "put everything in this punch" at the same time, and in both BvS and the DoS movie he's just impaled because he attacks without thinking. Here the impact of the "super suplex" that is strong enough to kill Doomsday is obviously too much for Superman to survive.

I remember this movie, good times

the only disturbing thing about this movie was supe's face lol its like they took the dcau superman and added those stupid lines to his face lmao kinda like his face from jl season 1

What's the song you used in the credits? :3.

"You taste like Lex". That about sums it up.

Still Problably The Best Portrayal/depiction of Doomsday and his fight with Superman

I remember watching this when I was, like 6 or 8 years old, and I did NOT expect this movie to be so mature. I'll have to give it another watch sometime.

8:49 isn’t that ratso from the Jackie Chan adventures 😂😂

When the first (and perhaps only) season of My Adventures with Superman concludes, wouldja consider doing a video on it? I think we're all curious of your opinion.

This is an excellent movie!

Can you please make an analysis of GotG 3? I rly want to see your view on this movie

Bro i wish u could go over jokers relationship with Batman

This movie scared me as a kid and that was just the trailer. To me Superman was this untouchable guy so to see him bleed was just scary. I warched this movie for the first time 6 years ago, and i warched the fight BACKWARDS (stupid when i read it back, i know. I'm not proud of it 😅) i was left feeling like i was watching something i shouldnt be. Now coming back to it, i realise that the fight still has that fear over me...but the rest of the movie is laughable 😂.

You cover any of Superman TAS yet?

the clone made me Homelander level anxious

Superman with a gun

Honestly I'm surprised they weren't tempted in making this clone of Superman the Bizarro of this universe as it would give us a more terrifying Bizarro that wanted justice but with the lack of morals and all of the strength of Superman. However I do think it was better that this unnamed clone is his own person as it does act as a living personification of what Superman's mission to protect others would look like if the humble farmboy Clark Kent was gone

The question is not why Lois taste like lex its how why superman knows how lex taste

I really like this movie I thought it was cool

2:04 extremely narcissistic

wtf those cheekbones,

As an aside, just regarding the art, I really don't like the design of Superman's face in this one. It's like they took the DCAU design and then were like "MOAR CHEEKBONES! MOAAR!" But it doesn't look like cheekbones, it looks like someone smooshed his face. And Lex looks like a weird bobblehead.

Could be worse, could be Texas power grid.

Frist!

So how do we get you hired as a writer for James Gunn’s and safran’s new Superman movie?

I haven't seen this movie since it first came out, so maybe I should come back to it to be sure, but I generally feel like Reign of the Supermen>Superman: Doomsday>Death of Superman. If Death was WAY shorter & a single movie with Reign, I'd probably say it was the better adaptation of Superman's death. Funny thing is that I actually had to get back up of bed because I was having internet outages I wanted to fix, so I'm now typing this comment at almost 4 AM.

Is albert wesker

There should’ve been a trilogy. 70 minutes was just not enough for one film.

I’m the fifth comment

Does anyone else think that this movie s art is kinda simillar to Under the red hood and maybe the 2 GL animated movies?

“Who’s your daddy”

1:38 Hold up, I thought this is Lex Luthor. How come he's Filthy Frank? wink wink

Theirs only one Superman.

Look at the first chapter: is simple and right.

Hola

Even when I was young, I thought this movie had so much wasted potential. The new 52 movie version did the stroy so much better.

I wouldn't even consider the clone superman to be that evil tbh, bro kills a child killer and tries the same with lex, kinda f'ed he kills the clones i mean they coulda been good clones. But he even gave superman the chance just to leave when he figured out they weren't matched. Bro just wanted to protect metropolis tho he totally mightve killed some of the military in the end 🤷‍♂️, but still bro shouldve just stole bludhaven or something im suprised noone in the movie looks up to him and hes just represented as evil in this movie. Sure he's not superman but like i wouldn't guarantee him as a villian either

Do you have anything planned for talking about "My Adventures with Superman"?

Lex Luther as a Creepy Sex Pervert is a hilarious thing! But not as hilarious and evil as him stealing all those cakes and not washing his hands!!!!!

You can't really out-do JL/U in general.

Eh I actually do like lex luther because he's cool

Superman is a simp and gets had.

I am disturbed Lois and Lex got it on. Or rather,, I hated that you showing him on top of her. Love is pointless, women will I was step out with evil.

Bring back the old intro😡😕
