Superman's met his match

Superman: Doomsday is a short, 75 minute movie that is sort of an abridged version of the death of Superman comic series - including the iconic Doomsday series where Superman died, and the two series that followed that introduced new "Supermen" to Superman's triumphant return from death (thought he didn't really die, but that's another story). For it's short length, it mainly plays out like an extended TV episode. It's fairly entertaining and while it doesn't follow the comics exactly, it plays enough to the original source material to keep fans satisified - though if you're looking for the Justice League to make an appearance, as they do in the written Doomsday, you'll be disappointed.
