The Following Trailer Is Rated NM For No Mercy!
From DC Comics, the company that spawned more shitty video games than EA, comes a movie that premiered just one year before the start of the MCU, proving that when it comes to films, comparing Marvel and DC is like comparing Usain Bolt to Stephen Hawking.
Superman: Doomsday!
Travel back to the distant past, to an era long before DC sorta got their cinematic shit together, and before studios mastered the art of extending a story over more than one movie. A time when any story, no matter how long or complex, could be ruthlessly stuffed into ninety minutes of screentime,
When Lex Luthor awakens the unstoppable Doomsday, Superman must face him in one of the most legendary battles in comic book history, which, in this version, has no buildup, no additional members of the Justice League, and lasts a grand total last of ten minutes, before supes is quickly killed off and the film rushes on to the next story arc, which, for the sake of time, is a non-canon story about a Superman clone created by Lex Luthor, a promising idea which could have been great if the cheap bastards at Warner Bros had shelled out the cash for a extra twenty minutes.
Then, after the clone predictably turns on Luthor and goes rogue, (Since when do clones do what they are told?) Superman MacGyvers through the resurrection process after being dead a whole half hour, and returns to fight the clone, who is killed of in such an anticlimactic fashion you'd think you were watching Howard The Duck.
So before so you go watch the much better remake, zip through the adaptation of one of the greatest comics in the history of DC, that shamelessly crammed a three part saga into a 77 minute bullettrain of a film. WFI, that's a grand total of 25 minutes per arc. Wow, and people think the DCU has problems.
