Last time on the Superman! The city of Metropolis was protected by the Man of Steel himself, Superman! The kingpin of crime, Lex Luthor, was atempting to destroy the obstical to his "perfect world" which was Superman! But now doom has struck the heart of Metropolis! How will Ka-Lel of Krypton get out of this one? Check out the answer, next Bat-time, on the same Bat-Blog!
Superman: Doomsday, the animated movie that came out in 2007. This is the animated comic book movie that alot of people saw, and they also go by. Whenever someone asks me:
People: "Ok, J. Julius who'd REALLY win? Goku or Superman? Those guys don't know what they're talking about, but you do! You're the expert!"
Me: "Well, those guys at ScrewAttack.com got it right. So, I'm sticking with Superman."
People: "But, Superman can die! He died in that cartoon!"
Me: "Ok, first off, no he didn't, it was a healing coma, second, read the freaking book! It's at the library!"
I go crazy. That just shows that people will go with a movie as the original source material, than actually read the source material, but I digress. I thought I'd review this movie because I got one of those 3 movies in 1 for 9 bucks deal at Target. The movies were Green Lantern First Flight, Justice Leauge The New Frontierm and of course Superman: Doomsday. If you want me to review those two other films, just comment below! Enough of me talking nonesense! Let's get to the review!
The movie starts with Lex Luthor talking about how much he hates Superman. He says that "all gods must die."
We then see Lois Lane and Superman being romantically involved. They're keeping it secret, so none of Superman's villains will find this weakness. Lois is complaining about how they don't really know each other, and that he need's to reveal his secret identity. Although, she claims that she already knows his secret identity. Weird couple.
Meanwhile, Lexcorp workers are mining, but they find a spaceship. Luthor tells them to open it, but the creature Doomsday comes out attacking. He attacks all the way to Metropolis, and he is being pursued by the military. Lois and Superman are at the Fortress of Solitude about to get jiggy with the revealing of the identities. When Superman is about to say his name, a Superbot comes to tell him about Doomsday. Well, that was a cool 30 second back story of the monster.
Superman goes to defeat the monster, but it seems that he CAN get his ass kicked. When Doomsday is about to kill the Man of Steel, he hears a little girl crying and is about to smash the living pudding out of her. This gives back Superman his powers, and he kills Doomsday. In the process it looks like Superman is dead.
Everyone is mourning the loss of their hero and are very sad. I'm surprised they didn't do a little nod to the "Funeral for a Friend" story. They could have had a couple of heroes. Oh well.
Ok. Long story short; Lex makes clones of Superman, Superman isn't dead, coma, Superman comes back, kicks clones ass, Superman is Clark to Lois.... Batman is awesome.
This is a cool little cartoon. I like the action, I love the intense parts, and I LOVE LOIS LANE! Her character design is beautiful! Thank you Bruce Timm! If you're going to show this to your kids, let it be known that there is some blood. Yes it is a cartoon, but it is very mature. This is a RENTAL!
