Definitely in the top 5 DC Animated movies to date. I would argue that it could be the best one. This is what the Justice League movie should have been. Hopefully part 2 can live up to it's predecessor. Animation, Voice acting and story were spot on. Be sure to watch it all the way through the credits!!!
DC Knows How To Making Animated Movies 'amp; This Is Probably One Of The Top 5 They Have Made To Date. On Part With Flashpoint And A Few Others That I Can Think Of. I Don't Know Why The Justice League Movie Wasn't Nearly As Good As This, Animation Is Amazing, Voice Acting 'amp; Story Were Spot On. Shouldn't Be Missed 'amp; Will Be Thoroughly Enjoyed. Watch It All The Way Through. We Need More DC Animated Movies, Can't Get Enough Of Them.
spoilers doomsday will appear in this movie
This movie wan't bad story wise, I will say that I did enjoy "Superman: Doomsday" more. First and foremost, I am disappointed whenever Kevin Conroy isn't the voice of Batman/Bruce Wayne. The voice direction in this movie leaves a lot to be desired whenever Lex Luthor is on screen, he sounds like a dweeb, full stop. The choice of these voice particular voice actors makes one long for the days of the old 90's era of Superman and Batman animated series.
Well the story was fine for me but the action really got me it was awesome.I loved it. But there is one problem why DC can't have one post credit scene instead of so many scenes throughout the credits.
Totally unnecessary, but welcome retelling of the classic story. They finally did it justice (pun intended) and added some extra weight to it, with a few nice touches. I even found myself getting nostalgic at points where they covered certain beats from the comic. It's a damn good Superman movie. They shit the bed on the ending though, and deflate the whole thing a bit, but that can be forgiven considering the quality of the rest.
Now I’ve always been a Batman fan so I went into this not expecting to much by but i was completely blown away, this has to be in my top 5 dc animated movies.
DC's animated movies have been pretty unimpressive over the last few years for the most part. This is the best DC animated movie I've seen in years! Can't wait to watch Reign of the Supermen.
Should have just made a Death of Superman live action movie. Over the Batman vs Superman mess. This has a great voice cast too. It’s cute that Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn do everything together.

Im a fairly harsh grader, this one got a 9. I loved this movie so much. This movie introduced so many subplots of the dc universe, that I had to stop it serveral time to google what was being mentioned. Is WW jealous of LL? Also nearly all of my most favorite characters are here, Supes, of course, Martian Manhunter, Damian and Steel, yes, freaking STEEL! Lex was on the Micheal Rosenbaum level of Lex. And we also have a ton of mystery being introduced. Its clear DC is concentrating on TV shows and these direct video animated movies rather than the big screen. An excellent approach if you ask me, because I have watched all of em, especially the arc with Damian, this little dude nearly killed Superman in one of the movies, he's better than his pops. Generally I live for the next Star Wars movie, and pray for another Stargate anything, but for now, all I want to see is the next series of movies that will come from this masterpiece. Oh yeah, why did I give it a 9? No Brainiac. The bar has been set by Krypton, Smallvile and other movies, no Brainiac, no 10. Damn I cant wait for Wonder Man!
In DC's mad rush to get the lion's share of their animated films under one umbrella, ore more accurately, into a single timeline, there was always going to be at least a slight re-duplication of efforts. But seeing as this is almost **exactly** the same as the already released _Superman: Doomsday_ movie, I wonder, did _The Death of Superman_ really need to happen? Or if it did, could it have maybe been one part of a bigger story? Or maybe at least have like... happened later? I suppose, that seeing as this movie is a much better version of it, I can't complain too much... Even if we did just have to also sit through another bastardised version of it in _Batman v Superman_. This is, I think, with the exception of _Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay_, probably the best movie in the new "DC Animated Movie Universe". But the movies outside of this rushed, ham-fisted continuity are usually far better, so the compliment's not too high a praise. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
