"The Death of Superman" is a thrilling and emotional animated movie that captures the iconic comic book storyline with impressive detail. As a fan of the original comic book arc, I was pleased to see that the movie stayed faithful to the source material, while also adding its own unique touches. The animation is top-notch, with fluid and dynamic fight scenes that showcase the raw power of Superman and his foes. The voice acting is also excellent, with standout performances from Jerry O'Connell as Superman and Rainn Wilson as the villainous Lex Luthor. One of the movie's strengths is its focus on the human side of Superman, exploring his relationships with Lois Lane, the Justice League, and the people of Metropolis. These emotional moments add depth and weight to the story, making the final battle all the more impactful. "The Death of Superman" is a must-watch for fans of the Man of Steel and superhero stories in general. It's an engaging and well-crafted movie that does justice to one of the most iconic moments in comic book history.

Absolute quality from start to finish. I loved the graphic novel and I adore this. Fantastic story (obviously), superb animation, direction and critically, superb voice acting from a great cast. Lots to love and nothing to dislike here. More from this canon please.

... the film presents the longest sustained fight sequence in the animated DCU, which directors Jake Castorena and Sam Liu make interesting with dramatic imagery and inventive twists.

Flickering Myth

While The Death of Superman may not be a perfect film, it is a thoroughly entertaining addition to the DC Animated Movie Universe that not only pushes it in bold directions, but sets up a direct sequel adapting the equally iconic follow-up storyline

The Death of Superman gives fans what they want. A strong Superman story, a great adaption of an iconic comic, awesome DC cameos and and homages to the works of the past. A worthwhile entry into the DC Animated Film collection.

It's a big win for Superman fans, finally giving them the adaptation of this tale that they've long craved, and one that sacrifices neither the violence nor the humanity that offsets it.
