They finally debuted it. Can't help but notice a few cut corners though, like Kingdom Come Superman. Maybe in a few years there will be an animation godly enough to adapt Kingdom Come.

I was about to say that Superman III made a cameo, but the Atari game isn't the same as what was in the movie.

They also proved that they can adapt Gary Frank's art. Superman Unbound wasn't that adaptation!

It was a terrific animation. Makes me cry for a new TV show. In fact, this short should be the intro!

 

[Ronabo]

That gave me goosebumps!:O

How do I save it?

I'm not a fan of Supes, but that was awesome!


My regular means of saving flash videos are failing me. If anyone can grab the vid please do so and post a link to it please.

I tried the usual Flash-save plug ins for Firefox like Flashgot and Flash and Video Downloader but nothing seems to be working here.

one of my fav shots from MoS.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

That was awesome. I would have loved to have seen All Star Supes make an appearance

And throw in maybe Red Sun Supes, some Superman with the Legion of Super Heroes and the ultimate Superman secret identity!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Thank god there was no sign of Tom Welling.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

That was really nice. Snyder should consult with Timm more in the future.

 

[Nerdkiller]

one of my fav shots from MoS.

Meh. It doesn't hold a candle to this.

Spoiler

I've yet to see Man of Steel.

INCREDIBLE!!!


ARGHHHHHHH!!1

Oh, you only like it because it doesn't mention Superman Returns (even though, it's been stated before as to why).

 

[Dead]

Wow, awesome!

Hopefully this is on the Man of Steel Blu-Ray.

Hearing the Williams them segue into the Zimmer one is sogood.gif. Williams' theme will never be topped, but the one Zimmer came up with is just fantastic too.

 

[karasu]

OMG the chills!!

I wish the animated movies looked more like comics as in this short.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

The was the best Superman thing I've seen all year

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

That was pretty cool. The turn from Williams theme into Zimmer's theme was a shame.

 

[Toa TAK]

Loved it. The theme from Williams to Zimmer, and the addition of TAS Superman.

 

[Divvy]

The Man of Steel look really doesn't translate too well to animation.

The red panties are honestly necessary; without them, he becomes a mass of blue and that's just not appealing at all.

 

[cdkee]

That was amazing.

Just watched it again, the transition to Zimmer was awesome. William's Superman is so iconic, but Zimmer's I feel like ups the intensity which can provide the perfect backdrop for some amazing Superman moments.

 

[foxuzamaki]

That was pretty awesome
also that video took forever to pop even when my page was apparently fully loaded, Thought I was missing something.

 

[JacksUsername]

Not even a big fan of Superman, but that short was great!

 

[WillyFive]

The red panties are honestly necessary; without them, he becomes a mass of blue and that's just not appealing at all.

Yeah, it became apparent a lot during MoS. However, I think that simply adding a bright yellow belt would alleviate this. New 52 Superman did something similar with a red belt, but it still manages to blend too much into the blue, making it look like he's wearing pajamas. Red isn't bright enough, I guess.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

The Death of Superman part was animated so closely to the comic that it makes me wonder why the animated movie didn't look like that instead of what we ended up getting :/

 

[Fox318]

 

[MisterHero]

Getting the uncompressed movie would be nice, but GIFs are good for putting the best parts on repeat too.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Really good job, but it's sad that they jumped from the Atari 2600 game to Doomsday. They skip Crisis on Infinite Earths.

 

[WanderingWind]

That was so neat. 75 years. Man.

I need to read more Supes comics

 

[Matrix]

That was perfect. So damn good.

Can't wait to watch it on the MOS blu ray in better quality.

 

[Matrix]

Thank god there was no sign of Tom Welling.

Be thankful Dean Cain was left out.

 

[Wag]

They skip Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Let's make believe that didn't happen.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

I forgot how good Zimmer's theme is.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

The Man of Steel look really doesn't translate too well to animation.

Disagree - if anything, I think it looks better in that style.

But then again, I'm the guy who believes the preferred form of superhero adaptation should be animation instead of live-action, due to the raised suspension of disbelief and greater adherence to source material.

 

[Helpless Hometown Motor]

It would be amazing if someone could put Bish's face on Doomsday.

 

[Sojgat]

That was fantastic.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention OP.

 

[Guy Legend]

Terrific. Wish we could get a new animated series in thus style.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

That was pretty good.

Since they should an atari esque game I was hoping they'd show him flying through rings shittily.

What was the part when he split in two?

DC had some really bad ideas in the 90s.

And the 80s.

...and now, really.

 

[esai]

wow, that was really well done.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Let's make believe that didn't happen.

I like it, it's a beautiful mess and as a kid I loved it. Reading about all those heroes (many of them were totally unknown for me) was an exciting experience.

 

[Sanjuro]

I thought it was pretty neat. Have to admit the switch to Man of Steel content soured me a bit on it.

 

[MisterHero]

Electric Superman was an homage to a Silver Age(?) story where he accidentally split himself in two and slips anti-evil formula into everyone's water.

You just gotta have fun sometimes.

 

[Slamtastic]

Seeing specific comic artstyles translated to animation, and how good the animation itself actually was, I was left wishing for a full new cartoon.

But then I remembered it would just get canceled.

 

[Pikawil]

This belongs in here.

I was amazed by the video in the opening post, then I saw your linked video's description:

Avengers? wft is that? Man of Steel sucks? go to the hell fucker.
To me it was the movie that we need and deserved.
I think that the people who didn't like it, is because they didn't understand the movie.

 

[TheRancor]

Better than Man of Steel.

 

[danielcw]

Wait, was there no Lex Luthor in the video?


What does the boxing fight reference?

Thank god there was no sign of Tom Welling.

Be thankful Dean Cain was left out.

I wish both would have gotten a nod,
though Smallville would probably been hard to integrate into this kind of short, because of its "prequel" nature, and lacking an iconic scene to reference.

 

[DerZuhälter]

SPOILER!

Spoiler

Superman did not win

 

[Pavaloo]

It would be amazing if someone could put Bish's face on Doomsday.

I gave it my best shot

 

[Crocodile]

That was pretty good. Makes me realize how much I miss there not being a new Bruce Timm lead DC animated series on TV right now though

 

[Acrylic7]

holy shit this is awesome

Incorrect. Horrible film.

 

[D.Lo]

Really should have had Lois and Clark, Smallville, and Superman Returns. Even if you don't like them the first two are culturally significant takes on the character. Man of Steel is a divisive take that I feel will have little long term relevance, why should it be included and not others?

If not having everything, stick to comics only, or maybe just feature Reeves, Reeve and Fleisher as they are the dominant non-comic takes on Superman.

And the best ever Superman theme is John Ottman's versions of Williams' themes. Zimmer's is not terrible, but is generic blockbuster compared to the truly iconic original.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Its...beautiful.

I would pay so much for a full animated series that looked and moved just like this. Or at least a direct-to-video OAV.

Um no. If you're going to go with that theme stick with the original and not some bad remake.
