This was actually my first introduction both Doomsday and the death of superman. I have to admit seeing Superman cough up actual blood from Doomsday's gut punch was chilling. Really did a decent job showing how powerful Doomsday was, there's obviously more powerful interactions of him but still.

It is however the most accurate depictions of Doomsday in a film because in the Death of Superman film Doomsday was created by Darksied and in Batman V Superman they basically have a cave troll that's cosplaying as Doomsday.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognized Lex's strangely homoerotic relationship with Superman in this. I knew the moment he took his shirt off I wasn't tripping.

One thing I've always loved about this version of Doomsday is how he's completely silent. It makes him feel less like a monster and more like a slasher similar to Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees.

Man, I had my mom buy me this movie on dvd back then and I remember watching it and now that I’m rewatching it, there’s so much adult situations (like when Superman takes out the kryptonite out of his brain or even toy man’s death) that I hadn’t notice being too much. I keep thinking about how I still watched this movie at a young age

I always loved the animation in this movie. you can tell how much fun the animators were having drawing that much fighting and destruction

I can't help but feel like batman was watching the evil Superman in his bat-cave clutching some kryptonite saying "so this is it".

She always knew bro. She was mad at him for NOT revealing the truth himself as she was trying to be courteous about his secret. You can see it all over her face at the fortress of solitude. Explains why she didn't even think about Clark during the Doomsday attack.

Looking from the comic of the death of Superman. He says doomsday did the one thing no one has ever made him feel before, exhausted. He comments in his rematch with doomsday how in their initial fight he was just throwing deadweight from how burnt out he was getting from doomsday’s unrelenting assault. He felt like a normal man fighting an impossible battle. Maybe by the time he died he had given everything’s had and was brought down to a normal person and in that Lois could see Clark not just Superman.

Does anyone else kinda want a video where Mauricio discusses all his animated crushes from his childhood?

just finished watching, when they have their fight Lois tells superman "i know who you are, why won't you just tell me" so she knows that he's clark but she wants him to trust her enough to tell him😊

This movie single-handedly made me a fan of Superman. Went from not giving a shit to rooting for him in one fight. It's a complete babyface performance he gave against Doomsday the heel

I loved the shared brutality of this movie. They went all in just how much of a true monster and unstoppable force Doomsday was. Probably the only villian in the DC animated universe to actually kill Superman off in a brutal way. No wonder I still remember this movie.

She already knew he was Clark. She just wanted him to tell her the truth. 11:30

When I watched it I assumed that Lois already knew, and Superman kinda knew that she knew. He was just afraid of intimacy, and she was mad that he didn’t trust her enough to tell her.

This was my first DC animated movie and my introduction to Doomsday and the Death of Superman story. And man do I still love it to this day.

I look forward to you covering Superman Unbound. One of my favorite and most underrated DC animated movie.

You’re definitely right about the movie needing more breathing room. All the clone stuff feels particularly rushed.

I feel like Lois always knew or at least had known for awhile that superman was clark and just wanted him to trust her enough to admit it

19:36 That might be my favorite Browntable laugh ever. The childlike joy he gets from talking about how insane this movie is is hilarious

25:20 Lois' eyes grow to the size of saucers, "Chief, that's the biggest damn shot glass I've ever seen!" *Perry:* "Damn straight! -And don't call me chief..."-

She knew it all along, being indifferent to Clark going to another country when she knew she'd hug him later that night was definitely the reason she was indifferent to his announcement earlier.

You know the movie had me ask "where was bizaaro?!" And made the connections with the clone was a psycopath bizzaro

8:06, Come to think of it, I believe it was this movie where I first saw blood in animation (either that, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the Family Guy episode where Stewie shoots Lois or the few glimpses of Naruto I managed to catch before I even knew what it was). All I can vividly remember was how unnerved I felt seeing even the trailers for this movie. I had seen violence like in live action (Spiderman’s Goblin beatdown and Otto’s hospital escape come to mind, though I was prevented from seeing the latter scene in full back then), but what was unnerving was specifically seeing animation used portray violence in a graphic manner and to have such a brutal story that features the protagonist, especially one as prominent as Superman, being almost mauled to death by a giant, mindless beast. Looking back with the knowledge of other animated works, this film really opened my eyes as to the potential of what animation could be used for and what kind of stories it could tell. As to the plot, I was somewhat surprised how quickly Doomsday disappears from the plot after being killed, the role of antagonist being transferred to an unhinged clone of Clark. However, as a first introduction to Doomsday, it doesn’t disappoint, not just because it manages to kill Clark and prove him to not be completely invulnerable, but also being a decent foil to Clark, having power just like him but without any of his “humanity” (just as Luthor lacks Clark’s morals and his clone, though sharing in his sense of duty to those around him, develops a god complex and a believes himself to be entitled to judge and punish people as he sees fit). If anything, the film serves as an analysis of Clark’s humanity through showcasing the limits of his mortality (making him closer to humans than people previously thought) and in the virtues his antagonists lack (Doomsday’s violence and lack of restraint, Luthor’s lack of selflessness and Clone Clark’s lack of humility).

In the scene you just described (8:33), Lois was arguing with Superman about how she knows that he’s Clark Kent in disguise, but she wants to hear it from him so that he could form some sort of commitment… I’m not making this up, this is actually what happened.

I'd be sick as hell if in order to kill clone Superman, they had to bring Doomsday back to life to kill him. The thing that brought on these events is the thing that ends it. It's like poetry or whatever

"imagine if that happened in smallville" NOT IN NO NUT NOVEMBER

These uncommentary animated film videos are without a doubt my favourite on the channel! Thank you. And thank you also for shouting out Superman and Lois, it don't miss! I'm actually mortified about the budget cuts and a few days ago it was revealed that a number of writers have left because of that...

Lex weirdo is such the perfect term for this version of Lex because he's so damn weird in this movie like this dude gives me the creeps man 😂😂😅

Always a pleasure to see Mauricio laugh 🥹🔥 btw bringing up Smallville made me dead 😂

Damn - that shot you used of the memorial for Superman with the giant black logo - I never realized that that was reiterated over the years. Looks very similar to what Snyder had in Justice League

The Comic and the DCAMU version of this film is just better tbh.

This one isn’t as well remembered as the other early movies, but it had some great moments. The early dc original animated movies headed by Timm were the best. By setting them as standalones that aren’t connected, they were able to utilize different art styles. The animation felt higher quality than the later DCAMU. I just felt the writing of the early movies were much better (with some exceptions)

So glad your cover the DCAU franchise Mauricio I loved your marvel animated vids and as someone who seen most of the DCAU and the marvel animated movies this is a treat cant wait for you to cover the next movie in the franchise.

While I'm not particularly fond of this movie, I really like your take on it, and I'm really even more excited that you'll be talking about the other DC animated projects!

The psychic damage I received from Lex Weirdo in this scene 16:01

So apparently, this Toyman is based off the Toyman, specifically from the 90s comics where they tried to make him dark and creepy with kids, it was the 90s,edgy wants for stories back then, thus, unfortunate stuff like that, thankfully, I think I heard they're not the same Toyman as the silly one... I think

Not sure this will be seen by you, but I think it would be a great idea to revamp your Zootopia series in light of the second movie being confirmed. you guys did a very professional job on your one from four years ago, and I would love to see you guys revisit it.

This movie is cool for what it is, but imo The Death of Superman (2018) is a vast improvement on the same story. Interested to hear your comparison of the two once you get to that one.

Long hair Superman with his suit reminds me of Tim Burton Superman.

Superman died and came back in the same movie? Who would of thought?!

Meanwhile BvS wasted such iconic storyline

My problem is is that I would’ve liked to see a comic, accurate bizarro at the very end

Lois knew superman was clark already. She literally says this in the argument. "I know who you are. Why cant you just tell me?!" Cool video. But i gotta say.

I’m hopping that with James Gunn spotlighting the animated shows and films again, than maybe we can get an animation improvement. I wanna see some broly movie level of animation in a justice league vs legion of doom film.

Funny, this was THE FIRST Superman story I ever watched/read

I prefer DCAMU version but this is still one of the best superman movies in general

In return viewings, it does come off that the best part was the beginning, with the extreme fight between Supes and Doomsday. That said that fight is freaking awesome; probably my favorite slug fest from DC films aside from The Dark Knight returns (animated). That does a lot of heavy lifting for me. Hope things go well with the anxiety dude, it can get better.

This movie and Under the Red Hood made me a lifelong fan of the DC Animated Movies. Sure they've put out more than a few stinkers, but when these Movies fire on all cylinders they stand shoulder to shoulder with DC's best live action movies.

I would’ve liked to see the rain and Superman adapted here with the other superman

U should totally review Return of the Joker at some point tho. So good.

I can’t wait for hulk vs😊

The DCU animated universe is still better than the MCU. The way they took advantage of the Batman animated series, Superman series, and then it fed into Justice League was incredible. Such a spectacular run that barely gets enough credit.

Oh man, I'm excited for the video about the New Frontier Movie, imo it defined what being heroes truly mean in DC.

that’s actually a male fantasy of the woman seeing his “true worth”, while “superman” is really what everyone is looking at.

I loved this movie as a kid

This film just goes so hard

Great video Mauricio! This is a good movie - I don't expect much from straight to DVD animated fare, the stories are too simplistic, not providing enough depth and complexity as a full-fledged movie - They should be willing to be a 100 minutes as opposed to always being between 70 and 80 minutes, but this one is better than most. The story is very engaging, it evolves in a dynamic and interesting fashion, with fun new revelations had at a well done, gradual pace. The Doomsday fight and Superman on Superman fight later on are absolutely fantastic, they're as dynamic, long, and fun as you'd want them to be. I also don't like the Jimmy Olsen plot, simply because there's no story hook to tie it into - If Jimmy was aiming for something fresh or desiring to become more ambitious, it should've been displayed from the start. This is clearly the movie's attempt to give the side characters some story, and this storyline is hurt by coming off as that, not appearing natural and organic. I definitely want a side plot with Jimmy by the way and understand the motivation for this - The movie would feel too simple if one of the side characters doesn't have some character meat to work with, but it should've been handled better. "It's why I'm here" - I've always loved this line by Superman, it's so simply, uncomplicatedly earnest in its goodness, and perfectly captures the character. It's always stayed with me in a profound way. I'm a stickler for things making sense, so I don't like Superman lasering himself and opening up his skin - This should realistically hurt. I think it should be said that Lex has improved upon the original Superman by lessening the feeling in his nerves, so he's more adept at dealing with pain. I also think the intense heat needed to cut through his skin can't ricochet off a mirror without melting it - I think he should laser off his hand to do the operation. I believe a semblance of realism always aids in investment.

Can you please talk about the animated movies based on the shows

I'd love to see you do all the DC Animated films starting from this film. Superman Doomsday a pretty decent Superman movie though it does feel a bit rushed at times but than again it still kick started the DC Animated films and the animation is really good and bombastic. I too also think Lex is depicted really weird and has such a disturbing fixation with Superman like he's Joker or Reverse Flash, which I don't think really works since Lex is a lot more subtle and keeps his hatred at bay as much as he can when it comes to his rivalry with Superman. Also pretty poor timing that Superman in this movie was voice by Alec Baldwin which doesn't really help given the the news and all. My favourite Superman animated film is *Superman Vs The Elite (2012)* which is my favourite Superman film in general, and really defines what makes Superman such a phenomenal fictional icon. Would love to see you review that movie, including other movies like: *Mask of the Phantasm* *Batman: Subzero* *Superman and Batman: World's Finest* *Batman and Superman: Public Enemies* *All-Star Superman* *Green Lantern: First Flight* *Green Lantern: Emerald Knights* *Wonder Woman (2009)* *Justice League: New Frontier* *Justice League: Crisis on Two Earth's* *Justice League: Doom* Etc...

I loved this movie!! This was my first exposure to DC, except MAYBE Teen Titans, Doomsday Superman is my definitive Superman. The same goes for that version of Lois and Jimmy I bet Doomsday would've been less angry if he went to Betterhelp
