well,i personally hope it could be animated.we already got superman vs the elite animated,but IMO,i think this story just not finished yet.i mean superman solve method,not proves black's ideas is wrong,he beating elite only proves his too powerful,if he turn into evil will be catastrophe.but if plus superman's ending battle,then this story will finished perfectly.his acts counter black ideas,he beating black not by showing his poweful,but showing his good values.
