The Death Of Superman


You have an idea to make an awesome film and it never gets made? I´m talking about the Nicholas cage superman film directed by Tim Burton that was scrapped an replaced with Will smith´s flop Wild Wild West. With out going into it too far the ideas for this Film where amazing to the other that where not that great they extend from a robot that raises superman then forms to his suit giving him power or that same robot who turns itself into superman with his Father´s conscious or the three rules given to the 1st screenwriter Kevin smith number 1 superman can´t fly wait what? number# 2 No suit no red blue or yellow yeah sure and number#3 there has to be a Giant Spider ( sounds familiar looks familiar) that he has to fight what in the hell but Kevin did the script any then he was fired Warner Brothers wanted to go with Burton´s Version now after so many awesome art designs an awesome script an millions spent the project is just scrapped. If you guys have Showtime on Cable or Showtime on demand or it may be on Youtube. The documentary is called The Death of Superman Lives : What Happened? but I only mention this film because it was using the Death Of superman as a story line and its a great watch . Now Lets get in to the novel that changed everything in The DC Universe as we know it. During the time it was the 90´s and after the failure of Superman IV : The Quest for Peace comic sales at that time where failing miserably so DC decided to take desperate measures an Kill Superman and he was gone for a while. Writer Dan jurgens stated that the main problem with superman for him was that he never had a real enemy to really let lose and kick ass for city blocks so now we have coming to the city The Serial killer monster known as Doomsday now who in the hell is doomsday an why is he a threat lets chat guys. Originally known as "The Ultimate", Doomsday was born in prehistoric times on Krypton, long before the humanoid Kryptonian race gained dominance over the planet about 250,000 years ago. It was a violent, hellish world where only the absolute strongest of creatures could survive.[3][4] In a cruel experiment involving evolution, intended to create the perfect living being, the alien scientist Bertron released a humanoid infant (born in vitro in a lab) onto the surface of the planet, where he was promptly killed by the harsh environment. The baby's remains were collected and used to clone a stronger version. This process was repeated over and over for decades as a form of accelerated natural evolution. The agony of these repeated deaths was recorded in his genes, driving the creature to hate all life. As it evolved, the child eventually became able to survive the high temperatures and searing atmosphere, only to be quickly slain by the vicious predators that inhabited the planet. Over time, and without the assistance of Bertron's technology, he gained the ability to thrive on solar energy without the need for food or air, to return to life and adapt in order to overcome whatever had previously killed him. The Ultimate hunted and exterminated the dangerous predators of Krypton. He then killed Bertron himself, whom he had come to identify as an enemy.[3] The Ultimate escaped Krypton via a ship that regularly arrived to deliver supplies to Bertron (who had wanted little contact with the planet's natives) and went on a killing spree across several planets. It began 245,000 years earlier on Bylan 5, where Darkseid was about to wed a princess (in order to obtain that planet's chemical deposits for Apokolips' weapons factories). Just as the Ultimate and Darkseid were about to meet in combat, Darkseid was forced to flee, as the rampage of The Ultimate had caused the planet's atmosphere to become toxic, thereby rendering the chemicals worthless to Apokolips. The Ultimate hitched a ride on an escaping shuttle, which crashed on Khundia. The warring Khundian clans united in order to build protective armor for a warrior named Kobald, who they hoped would survive long enough to force the Ultimate onto a rocket. Once the rocket was in space, the Ultimate killed Kobald and the resulting explosion sent him hurling through space. He next crossed paths with a Green Lantern named Zharan Pel. The Ultimate took the Lantern's power ring and, sensing the power of the Guardians of the Universe, headed towards them. The hundreds of Green Lanterns that were sent to stop him were slaughtered. He continued to Oa, where a single Guardian sacrificed himself in battle to defeat him. The release of energies by the Guardian caused a tear in space through which the Ultimate fell. Eventually arriving on the planet Calaton, he ravaged that world for three years.[3] With only the capital city left, the royal family combined their life forces into a single energy being, the Radiant.[3][5] The Radiant killed the Ultimate with a huge blast of energy (laying waste to over a fifth of his planet in the process). In common Calatonian burial procedures, the Ultimate's seemingly dead body was suited and shackled to prevent his spirit from escaping into the afterlife, and he was shot into space because the murders he committed made him unworthy of burial on Calaton. Eventually, his metallic casket crashed on Earth, the force of the impact driving it deep underground. So thats a quick bio on the monster who murdered superman now the battle in a word is epic an it goes for blocks. It starts with Members of the justice league international team which is (Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Maxima, Fire, Ice, and Bloodwynd) responds to a call from a smashed big-rig outside of Bucyrus, Ohio, and follows the trail of senseless destruction which leads them to a confrontation with the mysterious creature.It systematically takes the team apart, starting by throwing a tree trunk through their aircraft and finishing by punching Booster Gold into the stratosphere. Booster Gold is caught in mid-air by Superman, and declares "It's like Doomsday is here", giving the monster with a name. The Man of Steel arrives on the scene, having cut short a television interview with Cat Grant in Justice League America #69. He and the able-bodied League members follow the threat to the home of a single mother and her two children, where their battle with "Doomsday" destroys the house. The League attacks Doomsday with all their energy-projection powers; the only discernible effect is that much of his bodysuit is blasted or burned off. Doomsday again defeats the League, causes the house to explode into flames, and then leaps away. Superman follows, after saving the small family. Superman throws Doomsday into the bottom of a lake. After Doomsday escapes from the lake bed, he and Superman tear up a city street. Maxima then reenters the fray. Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are sent to cover the battle for television, while Lex Luthor (then masquerading as his non-existent son "Lex Luthor II") dissuades Supergirl from joining the fight. The fight continues at a gas station, where Maxima rips a light post from the ground; the sparks from the wiring ignite the leaking gasoline and the station is destroyed in a huge explosion. Guardian arrives after Doomsday leaves, finding Superman and Maxima, and offers his help. Now listen this thing beat eight members of the league with one hand tied behind his back. Once the fight between doomsday an superman starts it literally has superman flying through Panels of the story buildings crumble an superman fights with all he has an he goes at full power because doomdays doesnt stop period. The Man of tommorrow who is looked as god is beaten to death along with Doomsday this shocked many fans an impressed many haters but it does it job of bring superman back in sense. Especially with the Reign of supermen story which shows Follows the three-month hiatus on the Superman titles, all of them were relaunched. Four new heroes emerged in Superman's place, one in each title, each claiming in some way to be Superman. The story of The Adventures of Superman #500 followed Jonathan Kent into the Afterlife. In a possible hallucination, he convinced Superman's soul to come back with him to the living. The only "evidence" that this was not a hallucination was the fact that shortly after Jonathan reawoke, four individuals arrived in Metropolis claiming to be Superman. This storyline was known as Reign of the Supermen!. Each of the Supermen were designed with ideas taken from some of the monikers that Superman is often associated with. The four new heroes were: The Man of Steel: John Henry Irons was an ironworker and an ex-weapons designer for the military who wears a suit of armor and wields a hammer. Of the four, he is the only one who did not claim the name of Superman, but rather that he represented the spirit of Superman and continued his legacy. Steel appeared in Superman: The Man of Steel, starting with #22. He later changed his name to just "Steel". The Man of Tomorrow, also called the Cyborg Superman, arrived with augmented Kryptonian technology. He is scientifically "proven" to be Superman, but claims amnesia in explanation to his part-mechanical nature. The Cyborg Superman appeared in Superman (vol. 2), starting with #78. After he was eventually revealed as former NASA astronaut Hank Henshaw, he later became a major supervillain. The Metropolis Kid, who hated being called Superboy, is a reckless teenage clone of Superman. This Superman appeared in The Adventures of Superman, starting with #501. Of the three Supermen with super powers, he was the only one that did not claim to be the real one. He is the result of the brief time Cadmus attempted to clone Superman. He later had a career as Superboy. The Last Son of Krypton was a visored, energy-powered alien who dealt with criminals lethally. The Last Son of Krypton appeared in Action Comics, starting with #687. He claims to have the memories of the original Superman, but his emotional distance makes Lois uncertain. He later was discovered to be the Eradicator, a reformed Superman enemy. Here is a picture of each
But the Death of superman is truly a work of art it will change how we see the Man of steel an you will fear doomsday he is the nightmare that no one can conquer even in his death he still did the one thing that even lex luthor couldnt accomplish he killed a god he took superman from us.  I recommend this story highly to all who are new or old fans of superman even to people who don´t like superman who may enjoy the beating he takes.
