Superman: Doomsday
 

Finally, the teaser trailer is out

http://www.totaleclips.com/player/pl...=33&formatid=2

wow awesome.. so is this any part of the animated series universe? This seem to have the same artwork as the one from JL and superman animted series.

It's not in the same continuity, this film is a straight adaptation of the comic, and the voice cast is different

k when does it come out?

Dude!!! Can't wait!! That looks totally awesome!! :o Sept 18th can't come soon enough!

I am sooo totally psyched up now for this. But the really funny part is that they got James Marsters as Lex Luthor when he most recently was Braniac in "Smallville" :lol:

Still Anne Heche as Lois and Adam "Jayne!" Baldwin as Superman/Clark Kent! :D

So the art style is similar, but with a totally new voice cast. Is it Timm/Dinni produced at the very least?
(To answer my own question: (The Ever reliable :roll: ) IMDB (as well as comicbookmovies.com) has Timm as a writer, director and producer. The VAs are Adam Baldwin (Hal Jorden, Sgt. Flagg and Jonas Hex from JLU) as Clark, Anne Heche as Lois, and James Marsden (Brainaic from Smallville) as Lex.)

Written by Bruce Timm and Duane Caprizzi.

Duane Caprizzi also wrote The Batman vs Dracula movie as well as Brainiac Attacks among other things.

*looks at his credits* He wrote the TMNT OS ep "Cowabunga Shredhead" :lol:

"Yea!" to Cowabunga, Shredhead.
"Boo!" to Brainiac Attacks. That film was god-awful.
Indifferent towards Batman vs. Dracula. I never got into The Batman.

Didn't he already fight him?

EDIT: No wait, I'm thinking of Darkseid. My mistake.

He fought him in JLU, but that's a seperate continuity.

And I'm looking forward to this. It may not be the deepest most astonishing comic ever written, but I still have a soft spot for the Death of Superman and it was one of the first TPBs I ever bought.

The Batman vs Dracula is definatly one of my fave Batman films. It's up there with Mask of the Phantasm, Return of the Joker, and Mystery of the Batwoman.

The only odd thing about the movie is that it starts out with Batman chasing Joker. Who then seemingly falls to his doom over a dam. And Batman is saddened by his "death"! WTF? And when he finds Joker sorta alive (undead really) Batman is happy to see him and spends the rest of the movie trying to find a way to cure him.

There's a really intense fight scene between Batman and Vamped Joker in a blood bank that is probably the best scene out of the movie. Dracula is quite scary and poor Penguin is forced to work for him since it's his blood that accidentally resurrects him.

Hmmm, I have all the Batman movies, but Mystery of the Batwoman, and i heard that it's lack luster. I should give Bv.D a try. Batman never kills. To be upset over an assumed death, even of an enemy, by his own hands (and I assume Bruce had a hand in the fall, right?) would make him grieve. And on trying to "cure" Joker, he tried to cure Harvey Dent in BM:TAS.

Yea.. Batman tried to save him from falling and failed so he felt guilty over it.

so september.. that's far away..

I cant get that trailer to work. I hope I am not missing out something good here.

^^ It's not supposed to have audio, if that's what you mean.

So, wait, everything out of the arc? Including World without a superman?

Other than fanboy nitpicking which I can probably find the answer to by doing a Google search, good news. I'm more excited about this because it actually shows us the The New Frontier DTV is coming.

What? I'm a day behind so they take down the trailer?

I couldn't get the trailer either.

Seems Warner must have taken the video down on that site as well as Youtube. Was it too early for the trailer to be released?

I googled the trailer.. couldn't find anything but "taken down warner bros" on youtube, the imdb site didn't ahve it.

I saw it before it was taken down.

Since it had no audio, it's safe to say it was a leak.

No audio??? Wha?? What are u talking about. I heard an audio. The movie guy talked about how the movie was based on the greatest graphic novel of all time....and how the movie shows for the first time "Superman falling in love", "Superman losing" "Superman dying" and "Superman coming back to life!".... and when he came back he had long hair.. and said "Over my dead body!"....

O_o I tried over and over and over. It never played audio for me. :(

And now ya know. Addy to the official site below. :D

the trailer before it was taken down had audio.

The first image is up for Superman Doomsday and it's a screen shot of Kevin Smith's cameo appearance in the movie! :lol:

Best bit ever. I watched that clip six or seven times after my initial viewing and I never got tired of it. :lol:

The Superman Lives script is actually floating around out there in internet land. Here it is, just for **** and giggles.

I just saw the preview on the official site. This movie looks awesome.

Here's the trailer for Superman Doomsday!

More old news from Raph's girl! EXCLUSIVE!

Well the trailer that was online before was taken off so those links didn't work anymore :P

Yeah, but it's been on youtube for quite a while.

Personally I don't care much for the animation.

I caught the screening at Comic Con. Loved it.

Thanks! I never got a chance to hear the voices last time.
Maybe you guys could have said so sooner? I would have appreciated it.

I can't wait for this to come out. September 18th is going to be an expensive day for me with dvds. :)

My Brief Review

The narration in the begging of the film is beautiful, and followed by a powerful score with the opening credits.

While in the first 30 mins or so, I wasn't so sure of how the film would be. A simple way of getting things moving is just introducing the Doomsday character, and how he got there. The sequence of Superman and Doomsday fighting was thought out well but at times, feels like its drags on.

But once Superman is dead, the film finally begins to pick up. We see Jimmy, Martha, Lois, and Lex all grieve in their own interesting ways. And one of the things I loved the most about this film is the sick incarnation of Lex, I'd never seen the character like this before. What Lex does as well to help him get through the absence of Superman is so fascinating as well and is one of the stronger elements of the film. Seeing Lois as a Lover of Superman, and Martha as his mother communicating was also very strong.

The humor of the film is very dark, which I wasn't expecting but I loved it. And there are also very dark moments any way which a story like this would need. Even if you've read The trilogy connecting the Death of Superman, watching this film is a completely new experience and will definitely surprise you.

8.1/10

Thanks for the review!!

Neal Bailey of the superman homepage said that watching superman after he returns is chilling. The way he fights and is darker than his normal self.

I can't wait to buy this dvd. Just a little over a month to go.

Oh yeah, Superman definitely comes back with a Darker Personality, and some of the gritty scenes are fantastic

I love what Bruce Timm and co. are doing with these DC DTV Series

they can hold us over until The Dark Knight, and Man of Steel
