DVD Tuesday: The Death of Superman

How many times can they do the death of Superman story? Aside from the comic books, Superman has "died" in the Superman: Doomsday animated movie, Batman v Superman, All-Star Superman animated movie and he nearly died in an episode of Smallville had Lois Lane not pulled the kryptonite blade out of his chest. And everyone (except Batman) thought he died in an episode of the Justice League animated series but he was just in the future.

The death of Superman is a story that never gets old, I guess it's interesting to see how the characters and the world temporarily deal with the loss of one of the greatest superheroes. And this new movie sort of has a New 52 take on it. I like that it's even in two parts with the sequel Reign of the Supermen being released next year.

This movie isn't the only thing out today: Breaking In, Life of the Party and Riverdale Season 2 are as well.
