Superman: Doomsday is the first of the direct-to-DVD animated features from Warner Brothers animation. Produced by Bruce Timm, the main creative force behind the beloved DCAU from the early-90s to mid-00s, and armed with a PG-13 rating, it had tremendous potential to really be something.

Superman media never made a big impact on my life. This and Spider-Man. I guess I tend to go for more darker and mature stuff like Batman and Savage Dragon. This film had violence and brutal deaths but they were nothing compared to the 90's Batman cartoons.
Anyway, the storyline was good and the reason why I saw this is because I'm working on a similar story of my own and I wanted so... read more

This is actually the first of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies collection, which I had planned to watch in order but oh well. Just like Gotham Knight, which I watched yesterday, this was kind of average with nothing really special at all and not much flare. Even James Marsters voicing Lex wasn't enough to keep the level of interest up. Found the voice of Lois to be pretty annoying as well, not quirky and fun like she's meant to be.
Overall the story's not too bad but j"

Anyway, the storyline was good and the reason why I saw this is because I'm working on a similar story of my own and I wanted some ideas and influences. Although I got next to nothing, I did manage to "steal" some dialogues.
I always found Lois Lane to be an attractive, but dull, character but that's not the point, the point is WOAH! I loved Anne Heche's V.O. as the character. Seriously, I love woman voices like these and it fit almost perfectly. She should now play Lois Lane from now on. Frankly speaking, she was ” read more

“Superman: Doomsday is the first of the direct-to-DVD animated features from Warner Brothers animation.

As it turned out, it’s good, but never really great. A rushed and frantically paced adaptation of the death and return of Superman storylines, Doomsday combines the mainstream news headline making storylines into an excuse to hang two large scale action sequences and opening and closing monologues from Lex Luthor. Problems with the script aside, fantastic animation and great vocal work could have allowed one to overlook the deficiencies in the script. And while the animation is frequently great it is als” read more
