A leak.

Yeah it was amazing. I was wondering if I should wait until both parts are out, like I did for DKR, but I’m convinced to get it Day 1. Tomasi did a wonderful job. Those teasers at the end had me pissed we have to wait a couple months for the next one.

When is the next one coming out exactly?

Aha!...Should have guessed lol.

[Robanker]

Caved, watched the leak. Probably the best adaption of the Death of Superman to date with enough variation to feel fresh. I think everyone will find something to like about it even though it has its flaws.

[Miles To Go]

Watching the leak right now.

Loved the Lex Luthor II easter egg cameo

So I've heard that at least one line from last Days of Superman was given to Lois and not Diana ? Can anybody confirm it ?

Edit : for clarification, apparently, it's the final sentence between Lois and Clark in the movie, but I could be wrong.

I can confirm that, yes.

As for how Clark and Diana were handled

spoilers:

They admit what they had was "nice", but Diana is the one who couldn't adjust to Clark's personal life and thus it ended. They're still friends and they enjoy some banter though. There's no ill feeling or awkwardness

Thanks.

It was a little stupid, since I think the original interaction between Clark and Lois worked just as well. Too bad, but then again I expected that nothing I could care about would be in this movie, so on that front i'm not disappointed I guess.

I think that's pretty weak. Having already seen the previous animated take on Death of Superman, I've no inclination to buy this one. That's disappointing, given how great other recent DC animated movies have been.

Watching parts of the leak during my breaks at work. I gotta say I am impressed. Much closer to the source material than I expected. It cuts some of the fat out and zeros in on the meat of the story. The voice cast is great and it's very well written. In some ways it's superior to the original telling. Well done Mr. Tomasi. If part two is done as well, This one could be my own personal head canon of the post Reborn version of how this arc shook out.

Honestly while not perfect, by any means at least it was better handled than how DC Reborn handled Superman/Wonder Woman just by acting like it never happened and it was just Superman and Lois.

I liked some of the elements they added spoilers:

the New 52 Superboy look which is my top 5 favorite Kon designs, callback to Lex Luthor 2, the Justice League interactions and how Superman interact with each member/they interact with each other (Flash asking if it's too late to join the Titans and making fun of Batman going to Parent/Teacher conferences, Barry and Superman talk, although I wish it was John Stewart and Hawkgirl added to the fight with Hal Jordan and Hawkman but that might have overfilled the film with fodder, How they had Lex start off on house arrest and then "redeems" himself in the fight against Doomsday instead of simply had him get away Scott free like New 52 Post Trinity War/Forever Evil and to lesser extent BvS/JL did, the Doomsday stabbing Clark which I felt like they took from BvS although I wish we saw the shockwave punch scene, and how they set up the four different Superman without it being totally forced.

I will admit this film as a whole shows steady improvement inthe New 52 based DC Animated Universe. The story felt like it captured the poignant moments and really had well done voice acting. One of my favorite DC animated films, which I admit it has been a while since I had felt that.

One thing I admitted caught me off guard is spoilers:

Is making Cat Grant black, not because I am opposed to race change, but I initially thought that it was the Angela character from Superman TAS and Smallville season 11

My fault, it's been a while since I have used the spoiler button.

I will say that this one is far superior to the previous retelling. That one was ok for what it was, but this one feels more like the original but better. I think its still worth a watch, especially if you can watch it for free. I'm definitely getting the bluray though.

I think this is what they should have gone with for the DC Extended Universe instead then again killing Zod was how Superman solved the problem in the old days which hardly anyone remembers.
