Film Parody of Death and Return of Superman

this video is complete bullshit. He doesn't understand the true meaning of superman, this guy is just trying to advertise his movie. It's not about death for superman, its about trying to save the world and if he doesn't then that would be more than death for superman, I haven't read doomsday but that isn't the only superman story out there... there is a whole bunch of superman novels that are good. Kevin Smith is a way better film critic than this fool and he even praised superman red son.

I understand that the superman in red son seemed different from the daily basis Superman but the ideas of superman were still in Red Son... I mean they might have used batman for a part where he blows himself up but that wasn't the important part, I barely cared about that part.... I care about Clark Kent.... I see myself in his shoes... I'm still trying to be accepted by society... Im not a rich kid... some fool said batman was a hero for the common man... yeah right... he has money, he doesn't work with the working class, he might protect them but I don't really see him understanding them... they believe superman is born with his powers... well batman is born with his money... one day when I show a superman film that will blow out all cbm films out of the water... then they will see the true superman... have you ever seen the Iron Giant? if you did you might remember the end... he didn't say batman... he said superman. Now I'm not hating batman cuz I think he is cool too.. I just don't care about him as much as superman.

the way you say batman in all multiverses has the same concept is the same as me saying that superman in multiuniverses has the same ideas... its true that in the red son universe batman was still a hero with barely any money, and many people in that universe thought that superman was "selfish" because he wanted to create a more perfect world that was in his vision, but batman just kept bitching about how his parents died even in that universe, he didn't see that superman just wanted peace in the world. I personally believe that the core essence of batman is control of the world even though he doesn't seem to look like he wants control, If batman truly had superman's powers then he would probably want to control the world with an iron fist.... I understand that superman stays mostly in his city. It's because most of his enemies come to him, plus there have been numerous times that he has gone to diffrent places in the world to save numerous cities but Superman has the idea that no body should have control of the whole world, that's why he decided in red son to give up being superman at the end , that was or should be the way that superman dies kinda like how batman didn't die in the dark knight returns. I agree that they should have atleast allowed superman to die with doomsday but should have brought him back in a different universe like superboy. if you want to talk about ridiculous characters then you must mean how batman gets to be a vigilante that can stop a whole mob by himself and the cops of gotham can't do shit cuz they can't think. Of course they make most of superman's villians stronger than him, he is from another planet with superpowers, it's all make believe, He doesn't always need the justice league to fight with him on his battles but batman surly would need to if he was fighting endless armies of things. Superman has the ideas of hope, of the right of all humanity, of justice. Batman has some of these ideas but also has the idea of any means necessary to get the job done even if people get hurt or if he has to blow up the universe. batman, in my mind, is a symbol of police brutality with out actually being a cop. He believes that things should be an eye for an eye and if cops don't think so then he is going to do it for them. He thinks mobsters break peoples legs.. so he's gonna break their legs. Of course there is a whole bunch of people that reference batman, their all cop shows!!!! Superman in the iron giant represented hope. vigilantes represent anarchy or chaos and taking things into your own hands. I don't wear superman shirts because I want his powers, though it would be cool, I wear superman shirts because I believe in Superman. Why would they try to market Zod and Lex to kids... if those movie worked then they could still make a great Superman movie... If it were up to me and I hope one day it will be, I won't market to kid's. I've said before in some of my other comments in other articals, that I will share my ideas on a superman film and I will explain what I see could be a great film adaptation for superman in my own artical... without having Zod and Lex being the main villains... god damn it I hate the FCC for making the film makers tone down the violence in movies. Plus if Bruce Wayne's parents didn't die then he would have been an ordinary spoiled rich dude... oh wait he still is even with his toys. Clark Kent has powers but is humble. He doesn't take the highest paying job in the business.

I agree that the story of doomsday might have been some what weird and I know I might have gone too far by saying batman would probably control the world part, but he would probably brutally kill all his villains to save the world. Aren't the decisions that batman makes the same as every other hero's decisions? All superhero's make those decisions, though batman the punisher and many other vigilante types make a lot more of these types of decisions. Superman and Spiderman have made these decisions as well but try their best to make sure that nobody gets hurt trying to do it, thats why they don't always want help from anybody when they fight their villains. I like batman as well like I said before and I know he has beat superman and many other hero's as well but Superman has won fights against batman as well."the dark knight returns" batman falls down and dies, "superman red son" batman explodes, "superman/batman enemies amoung us" superman nearly chokes batman like how batman did to superman in "the dark knight returns"... I have to admit that the video was kinda funny but the guy was kinda trollin.

Time Drake....is DEEEEEAAAADDDD! I think right? I dont know anymore. And yeah thats what I said ealier. Batman will do what he must to save the masses even it mean throwing a few people under the bus. Hell even during the last few issues of Final Crises he actually picked up a specially made gun and tried to kill Dark Seid.
But I agree with Rocketico on some level and Wedontdie.
I just think the problem with Superman is the story telling to be honest. Like at Smallville, first 6 seasons were amazing cause of the stories the writers told, not 100% accurate but they were enjoyable to watch. and as far as movies go, Superman man should be the most visually stuning movie ever next to spidy, but no one has really gotten it right.

Mar Landis is right and wrong. The folks at D.C. were getting beaten by both Marvel Comics and by Image at the time and needed to get reader sales back up. Basically, his telling of the death and return of superman was correct, and don't forget about the whole Knightfall garbage with batman getting his back broken by stupid Bane. I got back into superman and D.C. when word got out that he was going to be killed off. I even wore the armband that came with the comic. So, while I agree with Mark Landis that D.C. killed Superman off just to sell comics and had no intention of keeping him dead for any real period of time I don't agree with his premise about no one caring about Superman. He is the embodiment of the best of us. Sure he has really great powers and there has been thousands of comic book hero's that have to some extent, similar powers as Superman but none have his ideals. Superman represents what a comic book superhero should be. I think deep down a majority of comic book enthusists would rather have Superman protecting them than Batman.

I don't understand why people keep saying Superman isn't relevant or that people don't care about his character. Superman is revered so much not just cause he was essentially the first but because of what he represents. He is the standard by which all other superheroes are measured. Every genre needs the bar to be set, and he does that while also happening to have been the first. He is iconic, cause he is near perfect, and we as readers do and should want to emulate him for that. That is why he means so much.
