Just over 26 years ago, a comic book event took place that shook the industry, and its readers, to their core. That event was the infamous “Death of Superman”. This story was so big, so powerful, that it made headlines in newspapers all across the world. It changed comics forever. Then, in 2007, DC launched their animated film line with an adaptation of this story, called Superman/Doomsday. Now, while this was a decent adaptation for the time, it was severely lacking in many ways. This was a story far too broad to be contained within the film’s 77 minute runtime, and it took over a decade before DC was willing to take another crack at it, and I’m so glad they did.
