I didn’t expect them to do much of Reign of the Supermen, but given that they were going to have Luthor construct a fake Superman that goes bad, the least they could have done was have half his face ripped off to resemble the Cyborg, or dress him up like the Eradicator.

Decent enough Superman cartoon, but it falls very far from the mark in terms of adapting THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER that got me reading comics in the first place.

After Brainiac Attacks, it would be difficult for me to actually want to see any Superman animated movie.

So I thank you for the spoiler.

I thought Superman/Doomsday sucked. I was so disappointed in Bruce Timm. WTF was with those lines on Superman’s face? It looked terirble. And the story was awful to begin with, even if it was the best selling comic storyline of all time. Eh, whatever. I need to read/see Persepolis.

Just watched this and I quite agree with you, it’s pretty strong. Tough for me to dissociate Adam Baldwin and James Marsters (and particularly John DiMaggio’s Toyman) from the actors’ other roles.

Except for Steel, I pretty much followed the heck out of the original “return” storyline; even followed Simonson’s lame Steel for a while before it degenerated into Iron Age ass-headedness (with “Toastmaster” guns, which presumably make speeches).

I miss the sinister menace of the blank-eyed Eradicator, which “Clone Superman” never quite matched, but it never quite matched the imbecilic bits either. I don’t think the movie reached the heights of “Legacy part I and II” near the end of the Superman animated series, and so I can’t quite put it on the shelf next to Return of the Joker as the ultimate bookend to that particular continuity, but still – I watched this on your recommendation and I’m glad I did.
