Doomsday killed Superman...Should not have happened

The history channel had a thing on comics one day and said that the comic book makers wanted their storyline to sync with the TV show marriage of lois and clark, so they had a several month gap or something. So Doomsday was created as a gimmick to fill that gap.

My friend could give you more accurate details, but let me ask you a question: Have you been following the different storylines (ie Kingdom Come, Zero hour) since Reign of the Supermen? If so, then you know more than I do. If not, then that would explain why you have not heard about it. 🙂

Im not sure but are those elseworlds cause if they are they are not part of the actualy supes continuity.

Kingdom Come is

Zero Hour isn't

The fact that there are 90 different versions of Superman kinda spoils it for me to be honest.

He's DC's flag bearer and he's had multiple incarnations rather than just "Superman".

I have the comic were Doomsday kills Superman, called 'The Death of Superman' 😎

So do I 😎

Anyway Supes is pretty lame. I think they should kill him, he has no reason to life anyway. I think Martian Manhunter is better faster stronger more beautiful and all in all just way cooler. And so is Batman and every other single DC comic figure.

Eh Supes Death was okay....but what wasn't was making Doomsday fear death. That was just dumb.

My copy has never been opened, and I intend on keeping it that way.

in your opinion...

superman has saved the planet more times than most heroes, he even sacrificed his life to save everyone, including batman and the other 'cooler' characters.

superman is THE superhero, everybody knows who he is...

no matter how 'lame' you think he is he's still one of the few people that almost every dc character respects, batman included...

when the shit hits the fan and all hope seems lost who do they turn to? yes, superman...

his reason to live is simple, to save the world and shag a stunning woman...

not bad at all...

i dont like superman but gawd damnit do i respect him......i stole that line from anchorman...but its true....i dont like him

I don't see the big deal in Superman being beaten to death.
Afterall, he's been punched before. He's been kicked before.
he's been knocked down before. So why can't he then be
punched, kicked, and knocked down enough times to die?

It wasn't like he's never been touched before.

And yes, Superman is still number one ass-kicker among all
comic book heros.

Are you crazy, you're liable to get shot saying something like that in the vs forum. 😆

But I totally agree with THAT part of your post.

wow, i guess ignorance is bliss. You do know that he is the DEFINITION of what a hero is, super or otherwise, he is the archetypical superhero, all other superheroes, DC, Marvel, or otherwise are subsequent copies and or variations of him.

lol i kinda find it true that superman isn't the smartest guy in the world,

thats probably loads of times when he could have used his brain rather than his brawn.

youre right at least in postcrisis DC precrisis he was an uber genius.

he's actually incredibly intelligent...

he's a journalist... and a good one...

but if he always used his brains he'd always win...

They were talking about Elseworlds eleveninches.

He said KC was Elseworlds and 0 Hour wasn't, which is correct.

And yes, Superman shouldn't have been killed. It cheapened his character IMO, much like when DC decided that crippling and replacing Batman was a good idea *shudder*.

DC only did it to boost sales. At least we got Emerald Twilight out of it, but now DC has regressed and brought back Hal Jordan (and it looks like they are gonna off Kyle Rayner in the NEW "Crisis"😉 so the Death,Return, and Reign of (the) Superman was all for naught.

Death of Superman showed that ANYBODY in DC could be killed, and made the readers less sure as to who will win in a fight from then on. It made it far more interesting
