Superman | Doomsday - Requiem & Rebirth: Lives! | Warner Bros. Entertainment 

What exactly are you talking about? A cash cow effort (with the exception of Louise Simonson, the only person involved who seemed truly sincere in her desire to write a good story and pay respect to a character she clearly loves) to reignite interest in Superman with tactics akin to yellow journalism is hardly what I call something that proves Superman is THE MOST IMPORTANT,ICONIC,AND GREATEST SUPERHERO OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, I love the character, but what has made the character so endearing and such a powerful icon of inspiration for over 75 years can be found in the uttermost core essence of the character: Superman's moral fortitude. Some people see this as a negative aspect and view Superman as nothing but a mere boy scout, but that just goes to show the growing cynicism of a world in which the concepts of truth, justice and hope are increasingly being seen as the stuff of fairy tales. Wanna know why so many people disliked Man of Steel? This characteristic was seldom found in the film. In place of this was a more paranoid and distrusting character who has little to no faith in humanity until he has a discussion with a priest. Snyder and Goyer missed the point of the character entirely. The point was and has been for Superman to be a character that elevates the world around him and refuses to allow it to drag him down. New interpretations are fine, but ignorance of what makes the character the character and what separates him from other comic book superheroes is not.

Superman’s been around for 80 years.

@@BrandonKohout 85 years 👌

@@classifiedtopsecret4664 Exactly!

@@stuckinthemiddle6851 You weren't paying attention to the video. The WHOLE Superman writing team were passionate about this story. They knew the weight and great responsibility they had in creating the death and resurrection of the greatest super hero ever created, and they rose to the challenge and delivered. Superman is about perseverance and altruism. He's the mythological, the human, and the hero. He is the ultimate adoption story. 10 years ago, Zack Snyder gave us that in Man of Steel. Superman is universal; many thing to many different people. He didn't earn becoming one of the most popular and recognizable symbols on the planet by being just one way, and the diversity reflects in his lore, and in that film. So many people "disliked" Man of Steel because they failed pay attention to the fact that this version was about Clark finding out about who he was and why he chose to become humanity's protector, instead of having be it written off as a matter of destiny.

There was a time in DC I think that Superboy was owned by the Siegel- Shuster family, and they can only show the character provided they get license form the family. Or something like that.

i cried the first time i readed this part

How dare a creator get emotionally attached to her stories!!!? :) Of course she cried, it was a sad moment in the books.

Will Common Yes you got a problem with that? It was a emotional comic you should try reading it.

wolverine Well, too late. DC wasted the story. XD

I don't think you can recreate the atmosphere that existed when the comic came out like not knowing if he would return, the mystery or the anticipation.

Ad block is your secret weapon against ads.

You have got to be kidding me.

And yet DC have done the exact same thing with Batman just recently by killing him then bringing him back a number of months later...

It's stated in the Reign of the Superman storyline that Superman does in fact die in his battle with Doomsday. It was only years later that DC (specifically, Geoff Johns) decided to retcon his death into just being "weakened" or "comatose."

What are you talking about? The death of Superman is an essential comic book storyline. Plus, multiple film adaptations have already been made about the story arc. Try watching them sometime. Also, if you're not going to watch this, why did you even comment?

STAY TUNED!

The sun

READ THE BOOK!

You misspelled CREATIVITY.

he died in the film just seen it today lmao

+Dez Ivory *SPOILERS* He will come back to life somehow. There is no Justice League without Superman.

+Benny 117 of course lol

+Dez Ivory but they are going to make another one because the coefen he was in move at the end

i guess i saw the future

Tobias Walker She died in Kingdom Come, killed by the Joker.

Giovanni Alckmim Russo Thank you and yes never heard that one!

Tobias Walker It's not a canonical story. It's set in an alternate future where after Lois's death and Joker being murdered by a new superhero, Superman exiles himself in the Fortress of Solitude, while other heroes exiles as well or continue to fight crime. Search about this story on google and wikipedia, it's very amazing. Probably the best superhero comic book I had ever read.

Giovanni Alckmim Russo And no doubt the basis for Injustice Gods Among Us, thank you!

For good storywriting

Said by someone who likely did not live through that time. I was a teenager when this whole thing first went down, and it was truly Earth-shattering to most comic fans.

Moviefan2k4 Agreed I remember this and non comic fans at the time even grown adults waiting for this issue. Christopher Reeves Superman was still in there memories at this time.

Moviefan2k4 also no other character I believe has been killed off like this before. And it’s Superman of all characters. That’s why it was a big deal.

Read the book to find out!

@@theunknowncommenter725 ... there's a book?! i think i'll wait for the movie to come out. oh, wait, it already did.

+Kenton Morales Since Hulk is a ripoff of Solomon Grundy, is right back at you. DONE.

Amonny nah. solomon grundy was first but he became more hulk like over the years. why do you think justice league unlimited did a defenders homage with grundy as hulk? its a common trick dc does. brainiac used to be hominoid but they made him more ultron like. Timberwolf was initially nothing like wolverine, but became more wolverine like. Superman initially couldn't fly but started flying after captain marvel. I could go on and on. done.

Kenton Morales Yeah, try more.

Amonny don't have to. R.I.P. dcu

+Kenton Morales superman can fly because animators didn't want to animate the jumping as it was harder.

I liked Bruce Timm version more

Final Crisis

Courtney White less of impact batman is human so it is natural he dies but superman is supposed to be the one above us all super strong, heat vision, xray,flight,speed,super breath superman seem to be like a god unstoppable and so when he died it had more of an effect on people then Batman

GothamKnightRX wow chill

No, these are the CREATIVES who crafted a great story.

Shut up troll

The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here.

That was never going to happen.

I agree that Death is meh But Reign is completely awesome. It brought a lot of cool new ideas to the table, like Superboy that has his bioelectric field fucked up so it's telekinesis. Eradicator and Cyborg Superman where one is AI inside flesh and blood and other is human mind inside technology. Then there is also badass Superman in black with guns, that arrives in mecha. Plus Jurgens then explored Doomsday further in Hunter Prey and added even more ideas to the Superman mythos.
