Superman was killed in the comics by intergalactic bad guy Doomsday. Of course Supes came back. Now we have a movie version of that story, although heavily modified to make it shorter and self-contained. Doomsday appears, battles and kills Superman (Adam Baldwin), and the world mourns. It’s not long before the big guy returns from the dead, although the resurrected Superman is a little more extreme than before. Maybe Lex Luthor (James Marsters) knows why.
Superman comics have never held my attention, unless he is teaming/arguing with Batman or working alongside other heroes in the JLA, and this movie had the same problem. I just don’t find Superman and his friends interesting. Lex Luthor has always been a much more interesting character, but the other villains are dull compared to the crazies that Batman deals with.
