It sucks. Really. I watched it with my son and he wishes he'd never bothered.

I was expecting something like, or at least with the scope of, the original "Death of Superman" story. Nope.

oh and it got a PG-13 rating because someone dies and someone puts their hand on someone else's thigh

FYI

I dunno if I'd say it sucks, but it was underwhelming. The first half in no way meshed with the second, which should have been a separate comic/short story/movie/whatever.

Yeah, I suffered through it the other day after recording it off Cartoon Network (who I assume did some editing of the harder content...unless the Superclone vs. Lex scene was just horribly edited and animated). Pretty bad stuff. And I still don't understand why it wasn't set in the already-established DCAU.

Because it was supposed to be an adaptation of The Death of Superman.

It was more of a half adaptation veering off into it's own thing, which is dangerous territory for an adaptation. Some manage to do it right. Some don't. This one didn't.

And yeah, I forgot about the odd editing. I do believe that was CN, as the rest of the editing in the movie wasn't like that.

It was too stylistically similar to the DCAU for my tastes for it to be totally disconnected. I mean, all they really did was throw extra lines on Superman's face and make Lex a bit thinner.

Heh, I watched it on CN a couple of weekends ago and was similarly underwhelmed...

I got it and it was OK I liked some parts, the general quality was good and it had potential to me but it was not the worse strait to DVD feature animation I've seen that goes to Family guy: blue harvest it was ok but I dunno £15 for an hour special based on SW it could have been cool if they had spoofed the whole movie and not jumped from event to event

it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. It was what they set out to do, Death/Return of Superman in about 90 minutes more or less. Me, wasn't really surprised by anything in it. Of course Doomsday would only be in the first part, of course they wouldn't show the replacement Supermen. There's just not enough time. The art style was still Timmverse, just look at the cameraman Lois had or the guy that sat in Clark's former cubicle, both are Batman Beyond characters. The fight between Doomsday and Supes, and the two Supermen in the end were very entertaining, everything else was kinda boring. Cept when Toyman was murdered, that was awesome.

BH was actually a FG season premiere her in the US.

I think we have different definitions of "awesome".

oh really? well that seems kinda right I guess. We also got it on TV (that's how I seen it) but it first came out on DVD a few months before.

I too, saw it on Cartoon Network, and I have to say that it sucked. It was an awful experience and the acting was so terrible, I just wanted to claw my ears out. I just hoped it would get better, I had to see it through.


...I'm sorry I ever did.

Adam Baldwin is an excellent actor (JAYNE COBB!) but he was a terrible choice for Superman/Clark Kent.

Some of the acting was just phoned in....you could feel it.

I pity everyone who was involved in that mess, they deserve a medal and a kegger.

The acting was OK, but many of the voices just didn't match. Hell, I didn't even know it was Adam Baldwin doing Superman until I saw the fucking credits! It just didn't sound like him.

I think if the voice director had been better, the movie would have been a fair bit better.

The script still sucked, though. (JMO)

It was a giant, giant turd. Voices were inconsequential to me. Though I did like James Marsters.
