Just like Marvel, DC and Warner Brothers got together to start a line of animated DC films, and dubbed it the DC Universe Animated Original Movies collection, and started it off by killing Superman. No, really. The first movie is Superman: Doomsday, and Doomsday and Superman face off as we know.. but that's only the first third of the movie. Let's find out what happens next!

DC is supposed to have Animation that's on the level of Attack on Titan by now. It's sad that the Bruce Timmverse has still not been topped yet. Unacceptable.
Unfortunately, good animation for DC died after the original Teen Titans went off air.
@@Ozzymandius1 Young Justice and the DCAMU: AM I A JOKE TO YOU??
I mean while it’d be nice I don’t know where you heard it’s “supposed” to have animation on that level now. Most DC movies have perfectly passable animation on par with most other DC products from the past 20 years. It’s kinda ignorant to say otherwise
@@mrnoodlr0284 Damn straight bro.
@@kermitgotthesickkicks4265I thinn you don't understand that these direct to video movies don't make that much money like anime does attack on titan was a smash hit as a manga then when it got an anime it became an international smash hit yes superman is super popular but mainly in live action his films are hits amongst all ages not in animation and again these probably don't have that much budget
I always interpreted the death scene as Lois having already known Superman's identity since the beginning of the movie, but wanting Clark to tell her himself
That's the idea. The creators even say it in the commentary for the movie
And I mean she's a reporter if anyone would have the means of finding out it would be her
I mean they say that literally in the movie itself
Wtf is going on. They both know he's clark.
Like wtf are you talking where in the movie is ever indicated that isn't the case.
Clark literally recaps about how he told her awhile back
I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognized Lex's strangely homoerotic relationship with Superman in this. I knew the moment he took his shirt off I wasn't tripping.
This was actually my first introduction both Doomsday and the death of superman. I have to admit seeing Superman cough up actual blood from Doomsday's gut punch was chilling. Really did a decent job showing how powerful Doomsday was, there's obviously more powerful interactions of him but still.
Honestly, this was my fist introduction to those too.
I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT DC AND MARVEL BECAUSE I READ THE COMICS!!!
Yea I remember buying this 1 & wanting the fight 2 b longer
It is however the most accurate depictions of Doomsday in a film because in the Death of Superman film Doomsday was created by Darksied and in Batman V Superman they basically have a cave troll that's cosplaying as Doomsday.
Lol, seeing you recap Lex's homoerotic abuse of the clone was hilarious!
Who remembers watching this on Cartoon Network late at night not knowing anything about it? Then getting traumatized.
Yessss. I remember when Toyman killed the kid I was like 😢, then Clone Superman killed him I was like 😮
Man, I had my mom buy me this movie on dvd back then and I remember watching it and now that I’m rewatching it, there’s so much adult situations (like when Superman takes out the kryptonite out of his brain or even toy man’s death) that I hadn’t notice being too much. I keep thinking about how I still watched this movie at a young age
I remember being like 4 and always getting in trouble for trying to watch this movie
LMAO
Why?
Bcuz they didn’t see the full movie and thought that it was super gory
@@nerdguy1793 ??? This ?
Well cuz they didn’t see the whole movie
My impression was that Lois already knew Superman was Clark Kent, but was waiting for him to admit to her. I believe they did something similar in Smallville as well.
Another idiot ....
Dude did you watch the movie ?
Literally the have a conversation when clark revealed his identity to her 🤦♂️🤦♂️
One thing I've always loved about this version of Doomsday is how he's completely silent. It makes him feel less like a monster and more like a slasher similar to Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees.
She always knew bro. She was mad at him for NOT revealing the truth himself as she was trying to be courteous about his secret. You can see it all over her face at the fortress of solitude. Explains why she didn't even think about Clark during the Doomsday attack.
I always loved the animation in this movie. you can tell how much fun the animators were having drawing that much fighting and destruction
I can't help but feel like batman was watching the evil Superman in his bat-cave clutching some kryptonite saying "so this is it".
This movie single-handedly made me a fan of Superman. Went from not giving a shit to rooting for him in one fight. It's a complete babyface performance he gave against Doomsday the heel
Looking from the comic of the death of Superman. He says doomsday did the one thing no one has ever made him feel before, exhausted. He comments in his rematch with doomsday how in their initial fight he was just throwing deadweight from how burnt out he was getting from doomsday’s unrelenting assault. He felt like a normal man fighting an impossible battle. Maybe by the time he died he had given everything’s had and was brought down to a normal person and in that Lois could see Clark not just Superman.
I loved the shared brutality of this movie. They went all in just how much of a true monster and unstoppable force Doomsday was. Probably the only villian in the DC animated universe to actually kill Superman off in a brutal way. No wonder I still remember this movie.
just finished watching, when they have their fight Lois tells superman "i know who you are, why won't you just tell me" so she knows that he's clark but she wants him to trust her enough to tell him😊
Does anyone else kinda want a video where Mauricio discusses all his animated crushes from his childhood?
When I watched it I assumed that Lois already knew, and Superman kinda knew that she knew. He was just afraid of intimacy, and she was mad that he didn’t trust her enough to tell her.
I look forward to you covering Superman Unbound. One of my favorite and most underrated DC animated movie.
This was my first DC animated movie and my introduction to Doomsday and the Death of Superman story. And man do I still love it to this day.
19:36 That might be my favorite Browntable laugh ever. The childlike joy he gets from talking about how insane this movie is is hilarious
She already knew he was Clark. She just wanted him to tell her the truth. 11:30
These uncommentary animated film videos are without a doubt my favourite on the channel! Thank you. And thank you also for shouting out Superman and Lois, it don't miss! I'm actually mortified about the budget cuts and a few days ago it was revealed that a number of writers have left because of that...
8:06, Come to think of it, I believe it was this movie where I first saw blood in animation (either that, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the Family Guy episode where Stewie shoots Lois or the few glimpses of Naruto I managed to catch before I even knew what it was).
All I can vividly remember was how unnerved I felt seeing even the trailers for this movie. I had seen violence like in live action (Spiderman’s Goblin beatdown and Otto’s hospital escape come to mind, though I was prevented from seeing the latter scene in full back then), but what was unnerving was specifically seeing animation used portray violence in a graphic manner and to have such a brutal story that features the protagonist, especially one as prominent as Superman, being almost mauled to death by a giant, mindless beast.
Looking back with the knowledge of other animated works, this film really opened my eyes as to the potential of what animation could be used for and what kind of stories it could tell.
As to the plot, I was somewhat surprised how quickly Doomsday disappears from the plot after being killed, the role of antagonist being transferred to an unhinged clone of Clark. However, as a first introduction to Doomsday, it doesn’t disappoint, not just because it manages to kill Clark and prove him to not be completely invulnerable, but also being a decent foil to Clark, having power just like him but without any of his “humanity” (just as Luthor lacks Clark’s morals and his clone, though sharing in his sense of duty to those around him, develops a god complex and a believes himself to be entitled to judge and punish people as he sees fit). If anything, the film serves as an analysis of Clark’s humanity through showcasing the limits of his mortality (making him closer to humans than people previously thought) and in the virtues his antagonists lack (Doomsday’s violence and lack of restraint, Luthor’s lack of selflessness and Clone Clark’s lack of humility).
I feel like Lois always knew or at least had known for awhile that superman was clark and just wanted him to trust her enough to admit it
Always a pleasure to see Mauricio laugh 🥹🔥 btw bringing up Smallville made me dead 😂
She knew it all along, being indifferent to Clark going to another country when she knew she'd hug him later that night was definitely the reason she was indifferent to his announcement earlier.
You know the movie had me ask "where was bizaaro?!" And made the connections with the clone was a psycopath bizzaro
25:20 Lois' eyes grow to the size of saucers, "Chief, that's the biggest damn shot glass I've ever seen!"
*Perry:* "Damn straight! -And don't call me chief..."-
Damn - that shot you used of the memorial for Superman with the giant black logo - I never realized that that was reiterated over the years. Looks very similar to what Snyder had in Justice League
In the scene you just described (8:33), Lois was arguing with Superman about how she knows that he’s Clark Kent in disguise, but she wants to hear it from him so that he could form some sort of commitment… I’m not making this up, this is actually what happened.
While I'm not particularly fond of this movie, I really like your take on it, and I'm really even more excited that you'll be talking about the other DC animated projects!
I'd be sick as hell if in order to kill clone Superman, they had to bring Doomsday back to life to kill him.
The thing that brought on these events is the thing that ends it.
It's like poetry or whatever
This one isn’t as well remembered as the other early movies, but it had some great moments. The early dc original animated movies headed by Timm were the best. By setting them as standalones that aren’t connected, they were able to utilize different art styles. The animation felt higher quality than the later DCAMU. I just felt the writing of the early movies were much better (with some exceptions)
So glad your cover the DCAU franchise Mauricio I loved your marvel animated vids and as someone who seen most of the DCAU and the marvel animated movies this is a treat cant wait for you to cover the next movie in the franchise.
Lex weirdo is such the perfect term for this version of Lex because he's so damn weird in this movie like this dude gives me the creeps man 😂😂😅
Not sure this will be seen by you, but I think it would be a great idea to revamp your Zootopia series in light of the second movie being confirmed. you guys did a very professional job on your one from four years ago, and I would love to see you guys revisit it.
"imagine if that happened in smallville"
NOT IN NO NUT NOVEMBER
Thank you so much for deciding to cover these movies! They were my childhood!
The Comic and the DCAMU version of this film is just better tbh.
i was in metropolis at the time, sad days
I remember seeing the commercials for this on toonami and never liking how Superman looked like he was pushing 68 with those wrinkles on his face. Also I can’t wait to see you talk about the New Frontier, my all time favorite story from DC 🥹🥹
I remember watching this movie when I was 8 years old.
I don't think they're wrinkles. Just exaggerated cheekbones.
A stylized thing like how Lex's head is shaped like Brainiac.
@@_V.Va_ It’s weird because they did that for Superman’s JL Season 1 look for that, so why not just use that? The way it looks in the movies is more geriatric compared to the JL Season 1 design, which was already a debated look on Superman
I remember this movie from when I was a kid, maybe 6 to 8 and I got permission to stay up [I think it was a Friday] and half way through the film my dad had me go jump start my grandparents car so there's a chunk I don't remember from it.
You’re definitely right about the movie needing more breathing room. All the clone stuff feels particularly rushed.
This movie is cool for what it is, but imo The Death of Superman (2018) is a vast improvement on the same story. Interested to hear your comparison of the two once you get to that one.
The psychic damage I received from Lex Weirdo in this scene 16:01
Thank you for making these videos, I get so hyped every time I see the next one to watch! It feels like a conversation with an old friend
So apparently, this Toyman is based off the Toyman, specifically from the 90s comics where they tried to make him dark and creepy with kids, it was the 90s,edgy wants for stories back then, thus, unfortunate stuff like that, thankfully, I think I heard they're not the same Toyman as the silly one... I think
Meanwhile BvS wasted such iconic storyline
This movie feels like it should have just been a 2 part special in Justice League or something but then they decided to make it its own thing and just to differentiate it they changed the character designs and tweaked the characterizations a bit
I’m hopping that with James Gunn spotlighting the animated shows and films again, than maybe we can get an animation improvement. I wanna see some broly movie level of animation in a justice league vs legion of doom film.
I’m still saying My Adventures of Superman. Genuinely thought it Jimmy when I first saw the design
In return viewings, it does come off that the best part was the beginning, with the extreme fight between Supes and Doomsday. That said that fight is freaking awesome; probably my favorite slug fest from DC films aside from The Dark Knight returns (animated). That does a lot of heavy lifting for me.
Hope things go well with the anxiety dude, it can get better.
Great video Mauricio!
This is a good movie - I don't expect much from straight to DVD animated fare, the stories are too simplistic, not providing enough depth and complexity as a full-fledged movie - They should be willing to be a 100 minutes as opposed to always being between 70 and 80 minutes, but this one is better than most.
The story is very engaging, it evolves in a dynamic and interesting fashion, with fun new revelations had at a well done, gradual pace. The Doomsday fight and Superman on Superman fight later on are absolutely fantastic, they're as dynamic, long, and fun as you'd want them to be. I also don't like the Jimmy Olsen plot, simply because there's no story hook to tie it into - If Jimmy was aiming for something fresh or desiring to become more ambitious, it should've been displayed from the start. This is clearly the movie's attempt to give the side characters some story, and this storyline is hurt by coming off as that, not appearing natural and organic. I definitely want a side plot with Jimmy by the way and understand the motivation for this - The movie would feel too simple if one of the side characters doesn't have some character meat to work with, but it should've been handled better.
"It's why I'm here" - I've always loved this line by Superman, it's so simply, uncomplicatedly earnest in its goodness, and perfectly captures the character. It's always stayed with me in a profound way.
I'm a stickler for things making sense, so I don't like Superman lasering himself and opening up his skin - This should realistically hurt. I think it should be said that Lex has improved upon the original Superman by lessening the feeling in his nerves, so he's more adept at dealing with pain. I also think the intense heat needed to cut through his skin can't ricochet off a mirror without melting it - I think he should laser off his hand to do the operation. I believe a semblance of realism always aids in investment.
Lois knew superman was clark already. She literally says this in the argument.
"I know who you are. Why cant you just tell me?!"
Cool video. But i gotta say.
Oh man, I'm excited for the video about the New Frontier Movie, imo it defined what being heroes truly mean in DC.
Long hair Superman with his suit reminds me of Tim Burton Superman.
I prefer DCAMU version but this is still one of the best superman movies in general
My problem is is that I would’ve liked to see a comic, accurate bizarro at the very end
Funny, this was THE FIRST Superman story I ever watched/read
Fine movie on its own, but The Death of Superman in 2018 I feel tells this story just a bit better
Nah
I can’t wait for hulk vs😊
U should totally review Return of the Joker at some point tho. So good.
Browntable Never Disappoints ❤
Bro we want some Anime related weejio from you, because it will be astonishing to see you talking random stuff about Anime, see Jujutsu Kaisen 💙 is on peak and surprisingly the 2nd Season of Vinland Saga ⚡ is even better than it's Manga, also Dragon Ball fans can officially cry now because all we asked from Toei Animations is the 2nd Season of Dragon Ball Super and all we get is Dragon Ball Daima 🐲, Haiyaa! Toei Company Really Fucked Up!
I would’ve liked to see the rain and Superman adapted here with the other superman
Superman died and came back in the same movie?
Who would of thought?!
I loved this movie!! This was my first exposure to DC, except MAYBE Teen Titans, Doomsday Superman is my definitive Superman. The same goes for that version of Lois and Jimmy
I bet Doomsday would've been less angry if he went to Betterhelp
This movie and Under the Red Hood made me a lifelong fan of the DC Animated Movies. Sure they've put out more than a few stinkers, but when these Movies fire on all cylinders they stand shoulder to shoulder with DC's best live action movies.
I love this video, I can’t wait for this series!! :)
15:54 This is similar with his relationship to Brainiac in Justice League Unlimited. You know he loves husband that has alot of power.
I loved this movie as a kid
Can you please talk about the animated movies based on the shows
The DCU animated universe is still better than the MCU. The way they took advantage of the Batman animated series, Superman series, and then it fed into Justice League was incredible. Such a spectacular run that barely gets enough credit.
I've never said it but I actually love your reviews bro you're actual funny ❤ big ups keep up the good work
good thing they are not 2 hour films lol
This film just goes so hard
that’s actually a male fantasy of the woman seeing his “true worth”, while “superman” is really what everyone is looking at.
I kinda wish I didn't know that Superman who killed toy man was a clone until later. I would have freaked out lol
Same!
God I love this movie
One of the first DVDs I ever owned as a kid. Shit is so fucking peak
If i remember correctly lois knewfrom thw start who superman was she just wanted him to tell her too. Thats why she was a little harsh on clark in the beginning.
Why is he confused by this? She literally says "I've already figured out who you are, why can't you just tell me?!" or something like that, it's not ambiguous at all. This is like when the Nostalgia Critic or Cinema Sins lie about the content of the movies they're reviewing, and omit scenes or switch them around, and then pretend to be confused.
Can you do the New 52 Death of Superman movie as well as Reign of the Supermen?
It’ll be a while cuz I’m doin these in order but yes!
@@Browntable hey that’s perfectly fine with me! Just means more goodies to consume along the way! 😄. Thanks for replying! Love watching your videos! ❤️
Now i wait for superman vs the elite
Not sure there’s ever been bad Lois Lane in animation
But both Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns) and Amy Adams (Snyderverse) were not good versions of the character and were so boring and it’s not entirely their fault however I do think Kate Bosworth was miscast and if you watch anything else Amy Adams is in then you’ll know she’s a good actor and if you watch Enchanted you’ll know that she has the energy for Lois but she wasn’t given anything to do
I agree with you on returns. Returns is one of my favourite Superman movies, but Lois was boring in that. Lois in snyderverse (except ZSJL) actively investigates for stories. Even going as far to clear Superman's name in BvS.
Great review, please do one for batman beyond return of the joker!
I love this movie so much.
Doomsday is nightmare fuel
Is it just me or does Clark look old as shit. His cheek bones were removed from the Justice League show for that exact reason so I just don’t get why they’re here
Yeah, sometimes I feel the same way when I see Superman with super defined cheekbones. Im sure it a creative decision that doesn't really change anything in retrospect but for reason it's feels distracting.
In fact I'm pretty sure theirs a whole video about Superman's cheekbones in the DCAU
@@milkiassamuel780 Yeah it was by the Watchtower I believe so if you haven’t you should watch it, there’s a whole story behind them.
@@Ismatic1906 I haven't seen it yet but I have seen the thumbnail now and then also I'll probably check it out, especially if the history of the cheekbones goes that deep
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I went to get the dvd an set next to me while watching this video
Fun fact, the mechanical spider was from a kevin Smith interview where he had to write a script with superman fighting a mechanical spider, in the movie kevin Smith has a cameo where he's like "really, a giant spider?"
damn never laughed this much in a long time. Your funniest video so far man keep it up!
Never once have I seen a brown table in one of your videos
The invincible Iron Man movie is hot dog s**t
Yeah, I agree.
I thought the back cover art of Iron Man fighting The Mandarin would look bad ass in the movie and come to find out when I watched it that's not how it went down.
Frickin' false advertising.
All true , wish supes was more in the movie
Please do dc the new frontier because 1 it’s awesome both the movie and the comic 2 Darwyn Cooke is are great artist and writer R.I.P 3 dc the new frontier might be the inspiration for James Gunns new dcu Justice league
12:24 I wish they adapted these guys
Well it’s an adaptation of death of superman
this is a nostalgic dc film for me!!
13:16 that’s why they should Stead more time, adding in the extra superman
3:58 That isn't his fall era that's his Fetish.
@12:02 I thought Lois figured it out too. But later in the movie when so goes to Ms Kent, she says something like "I'm sorry Clark died in the Middle East" or whenever he was. She doesn't know Superman is Clark. I think Ms Kent might have told Lois, or Superman does when he returns at the end of the movie.
in like 2009 2010 this movie under the red hood and the rob zombie Halloween 2 was my after party drunk movies!
me and my roommate would throw a house party every Friday or Saturday and depending on if one of our other friends threw a party on one of those days ours would be either the day before or the day after and I when I had enough for the night unplanned at first I would end up putting in one of those 3 movies and it became like a whole thing with more and mire people ending up in my room to watch with me and passing out to the point where I think the most we counted in my room was the entire party of like 23 people asleep all over my room!... fuck I miss those parties! passing out in my room watching superman doomsday or Halloween 2 became the highlight of our parties and this was before nerd culture really took over!
