The ending of the movie felt really good so I’d imagine the build up towards it in the comic would be a lot more in depth making it more dramatic. might check it out.
A lot of the best parts of the comic (emotional moments, some character arcs, crazy Morrison sci-fi moments, Sliver/Bronze Age stuff etc.) aren’t in the movie too. The comic was originally a 12 issue series and less linear. A 6-12 episode animated mini-series probably would’ve adapted it best for sure. But I give the movie credit for Lex wanting to atone in this version.
Part of the reason why this movie is so filled with creative ideas, is because both it and the comic it's adapting are homages to the Silver Age of Superman comics, and many of the tropes it has become famous for, like take this for instance; the version of Atlas and Samson who appear this are new characters, but there were plenty of classic comics of Superman meeting Hercules, Atlas, and Samson through timetravel. Then the cloning opperation is based on The DNA Project, a group introduced in Jack Kirby's run on the comic 'Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen'. The office bully Steve Lombard still appears in modern comics from time to time, but he's best remembered as a character from the 70's and 80's. The horny Cat Grant who oggles the window washer is a character introduced after 1986 DC reboot. Lex getting super powers, and escaping the electric chair, is a concept from the two part storyline “The Powerstone” (Action Comics issue 47) and “When Titans Clash” (Superman issue 17). Last cool reference I'd like to mention is that the overall plot of Superman knowing he is about to die, and wanting to make the best of his last days on Earth, is inspired by two classic stories; The Golden Age's “The Last Days Of Superman” (Superman issue 66), and it’s Silver Age remake of the same name (Superman issue 156). Funnily enough years after All-Star, this concept would again be homaged one last time, in the 2016 storyline “The Final Days Of Superman”. I guess there's something compelling about the idea.
To your comment about having to know whats going on, i think DC/WB animation studios at this time had a good understanding that the people who went out of thier way to watch these movies were more than casuals, cuz when these movies dropped there wasnt an app you could login and watch.
The comic is well worth reading, and goes into much more detail. And as someone else said, one of the best of all time. If you want to see its official/unofficial follow-up, Check out Superman 1 million after All Star
@@yarc9 damn he died? Shit 😬 he's a fuckin legend. Like a black Stan Lee. He created Static, Icon and Rocket, hardware, made many great stories for Marvel and DC. R.I.P. Dwayne McDuffie. you died in vain 🥲
Blue and white stars make him stronger and so does sundipping but this movie contridicts that due to this being an alternative time line. These movies were fast pace because the animated movies were on a limited budget they were usually no longer than about 80 min
The comic this is based off of is probably the best comic ever
Not just Superman comic, but comic in general
