So I watched the animated Superman: Doomsday today and it kicked ass. This is the movie that Superman Returns should have been. Lots of Superman smashing the crap out of stuff.
It’s based on The Death of Superman storyline, which I never read, so I can’t tell you how accurate it was. One warning though, this is not for little kids. It’s rated PG-13 for a reason. It contains blood and there’s a fairly high body count.
The only thing I didn’t like about it was they didn’t use the voice actors who were used for these characters during the DCAU. It took me half the movie to get used to Adam Baldwin as Superman. Anne Heche was ok as Lois Lane. But I’m sorry, Clancy Brown is Lex Luthor. Luckily, he’s reprising his role in The Batman.
Anyway, overall, I liked it a lot. It’s worth a buy.
4 1/2 out of 5.
