I will be brief as I do not revel in grading anything other than actual comic books.The DC animated line of movies are beautiful adaptations of our past, revamped & current storylines, in motion. One can feel the story jump off the pages whilst understanding the why and how the original story was tweaked. There is no sense of a childhood stolen nor the feeling that what one is viewing feels "outdated" and strictly for the "pursuit".I look forward to 2019 when pt. 2 of this epic storyline concludes.I mean come on, they are introducing, "The Reign of the Supermen"! Remember, watch for the love not for opportunity to hate.

The Death of SupermanThe hardest part of burying Superman's body is figuring out how to bury Clark Kent's in the afternoon.Furthermore, the superhero community in this animated adventure are too distraught to grave dig.When an alien crash-lands on earth with the intent of wiping out the human population, the Justice League (Rosario Dawson, Nathan Fillion) is dispatched.But when the being defeats them with ease, it is up to Superman (Jerry O'Connell) to step in. Evenly matched, the titans tear Metropolis asunder as Lex Luthor (Rainn Wilson) plots his own attack on the depleted Man of Steel.With confident animation, apt voice-work and dynamic action, this 32nd installment in the DC Universe Animated Movies franchise is a more comic-book accurate adaptation of the Doomsday storyline than the company's previous version released a decade prior.And now that Superman is dead the battle over his magical space bones can begin.

The Death of Superman is a story-line that Warner bros. And DC have over used in the last decade and a little bit, back in 2007 DC released "Superman:Doomsday" which is based off the same story and that was definitely a great movie. 9 years later in 2016 they adapted that story-line in live action for the first time in 2016 with the ending to Batman Vs Superman:Dawn of Justice where Doomsday shows up and spoiler alert kills Superman and that definitely was not done well. Now in 2018, DC's newest animated venture adapts that same story-line in the Death of Superman, but the fact that it's been done before doesn't hinder the movie at all,in fact it is probably the best version of the story adapted to movies. Don't get me wrong Superman:Doomsday is really good and I still think it's great but The Death of Superman has actually surpassed that movie as the best version of this movie. One of the things this movie does so well that say ... Batman Vs Superman doesn't, is it makes you actually care about the actual death of Superman. we all know that he's gonna come back in a year but the reason it's still really emotional is because characters like lois and bibbo and his parents don't know that, and think he is dead and is never coming back. which also wouldn't matter if those relationships were not developed throughout the movie and they definitely were extremely well which makes you actually feel something when Superman dies and I gotta say It actually was a very emotional death scene when he died and I think a big reason for that is they showed how superman actually was a beacon of hope to metropolis and how metropolis loved him and on top of that Superman is a really 3-dimensional compelling character and an excellent version of the character. so much so when he died it was emotional which is insane because you know he's gonna come back,which is basically the exact thing that happens in Infinity War although to a much smaller and less emotional way but still it's very similar. But yeah I give huge props to this movie for developing everything so that when the title actually happens and Superman dies you actually feel something more so than in Superman:Doomsday and way more so than in Bvs.This movie had a lot of set up for the sequel but not to the point where it was obnoxious,in fact it was the exact opposite whenever one of the other 4 supermen showed up like Hank Henshaw,Superboy,the eradicator and steel it was a pretty awesome how they subtly set up the sequel in the background,that's something I really liked about this movie.Considering a big part about this story is the fight between Doomsday and Superman as well as the justice league,the action has to be great and the death of superman does not disappoint the action in this movie is bad-ass,it's amazingly animated and choreographed if that's how animated fight scenes work,i don't know. but the action and the fight scenes specifically Doomsday Vs Superman was awesome and doomsday fighting the justice league was pretty awesome as well.So I've been praising the hell out of this movie, but there is one thing that I don't like and that is Lex Luthor. Mainly because his voice acting was straight up terrible,that voice actor just didn't fit the role at all and because of that whenever he showed up he kinda took away from the movie.9.5/10

After watching this, you will be wondering why Batman vs Superman didn't turn out like this. The fight between Superman and Doomsday was beyond expectation. Plus this sets up the next animated movie (Reign of Supermen) a la the MCU.
