Superman: Doomsday Worth renting?

[Toonami Tom]

After wathing the The Batman Batman/Superman 2 parter, I became interested in seeing Superman: Doomsday. Renting it is about $4, unless I can find it somewhere for cheaper. Is it worth renting?

We can discuss the film here, too.:)

I bought it the day after it came out and loved it, but I love all of Bruce Timm's stuff. Yeah im a fanboy, but he introduced me to the way Batman should be so I owe him at least my loyalty.

I enjoyed it... definatly worth a rent. $4 man that's steep. Where's that?

[GK Punk]

Yeah, it's worth it. I've seen it a good couple of times now, it was well worth 15 bucks. Just go in to it realizing that it's a different continuity than the Superman animated series, and it's going to be pretty different than the comic version of the story. If you are a Superman fan, I'm sure you'll love it.

I'm still upset they replaced my favorite part of the story (the return) with such a boring conclusion (in comparison, it is), but I'd rent it just to satisfy my curiosity. My local Blockbuster went up to $5 a pop, so that's actually a decent price for a rental, Jester.

My review. (http://www.filmsy.com/reviews/superman-doomsday-review/)

It's worth renting at the very least. It was a pretty good movie, so long as you aren't uptight about them changing the story from the comic.

[Toonami Tom]

Thanks for the info guys. I think I will rent it then. $4 is what Pay-Per-View wants and XBox Live Marketplace is about the same price. Maybe someone will have it for cheaper.

Its not worth renting, its worth buying.

Superman is the world's greatest hero. If you don't agree with that, well then you're being delusional. :)

I could write a book on how Batman could kick Superman's posterior all the way back to the smoldering void that was once Krypton. However I agree that its worth buying.

Batman has to be the most overrated DC Hero. Not that I don't like him, but he's becoming like Wolverine. (Whom I hate.)

[Jester]

I feel the same way...about Superman. I'm one of those guys who never cared for him cause he's too powerful. That's part of the reasonI like Smallville. Clark is still developing his powers, and you can see what made him ahero...his parents. Sucks that they are both gone in the new season...
The Reason I like Bats better is because he's just a dude with a belt. Yes he's a bit over rated, but Superman is even more over blown...IMHO.

[GK Punk]

I hate when they over power Superman actually. Certain writers do excellent with him, as where others just write a story that can be solved with "He's Superman." With Supes, it's really a matter of who's in charge of the Superman titles at the time. They can be really hit or miss because of that. Right now I find them great though. I can understand why you'd feel that way, since he's sterotypically over powered.

And Besides. We all know Nightwing could kick Batman's ass, ya know if he REALLY wanted to. (Give me a break, I'm a Nightwing mark. :lol:)

Bats trained Nightwing. He knows all of his moves.

[Brodie]

I bought it, and enjoyed it. My only gripe is the weird cracks in Supes' face throughout it. Those aren't cheek bones.

I was wondering if this was any good, sound worth renting. Thanks for the info everyone. Still, why in the world would they change the ending from the comics when I though the entire purpose of DC doing movies like this and New Frontier was to animate stories as close to the comics as posible that they could on Saturday morning TV. It's one thing to cut for time, but...:roll:

As for Batman and Wolverine, I love them both and they are some of my favorite characters, but I hate the whole UberBat and UberWolvie that both companies are currently doing. It only makes people who never liked the characters before hate them more and the people who do love the characters defensive and tired. Don't get me started on what Jeph Loeb and Guggenheim have done to my beloved Logan.:x Who would have thought Loeb of all people couldn't write Logan.:-?

[GK Punk]

As far as Wolvie/Bats that was exactly what I meant.

As far was the ending, They couldn't use Superboy so I guess they changed a lot of how it went.

[Magneto]

Yeah the rights to Superboy is tied up in courts at the moment. You'll notice there isnt even an image of him at all, despite being talked about, in the documentary of the saga of the entire Death/funeral/reign/and return of Superman in the DCU. Which IMO, definately makes Superman/Doomsday a must own rather than be on any rent list.

He's got a long way to go before he becomes Wolverine. In the case of Batman he's always been the star, so it isn't like other, potentially just as interesting characters get pushed to the side for him, like it is with Wolverine. I mean Cyclops totally got screwed in the film series.

...and, settled with a cop-out ending instead. What a disappointment... Thing is, Timm has expressed a dislike for Doomsday, but that was the one part of the adaptation they did justice. :x

Perhaps... But, Wolvie ain't DC. :P

Actually I was referring more to the way fans treat Batman.

Haha, I figured my comment would get some response.
I like Bats too, don't get me wrong...but take away the Kryptonite Supes gave bats, and there's no chance.

I found it funny for a while, the whole "Batman can beat anyone as long as he puts his mind to it" thing.:)
