Superman: Doomsday is an animated movie adapting the comic storyline of The Death of Superman, and is the very first of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies.An illegal excavation funded by Lex Luthor for an energy project inadvertently unleashes an unstoppable monster that had been buried there long ago, whom Superman now has to fight, even at the cost of his own life. But shortly after his funeral, it appears the Man of Steel has returned. But things aren't all what they seem...

Darker and Edgier: The sheer graphicness of the violence in the movie along with Toyman's paedophilia seem to be an exercise in seeing how much the moviemakers could get away with, now that the rating was PG-13.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Supes not wanting to admit that he's Clark to Lois, who already knows, is analogous to two things: Coming-Out Story: Someone who's in the Transparent Closet and doesn't want to be out. Commitment Issues: Supes is nervous about committing to a relationship with Lois. Lois points this out.

Right-Hand Cat: Deconstructed. Clone Superman rescues a persian cat from a tree. He has recently started to kill evildoers, and then gives a slow and frightening lecture to its owner, a very scared old lady, while caressing the kitty. During the lecture, you ask yourself if he's gonna kill the old lady, the cat, both of them or none. Finally, he just asks her to be more cautious.

The Sociopath: Lex Luthor, who deliberately has cures to deadly diseases changed into lifetime treatments for his own profit, responds to accidentally unleashing Doomsday by having anybody who knows about it killed, and makes a Superman clone to use his nemesis' good publicity to take over the world. Toyman, who views all the world as toys for him to break as he pleases, and murders a 4-year-old for no reason.

Mythology Gag
 Superman: Doomsday / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: A lot of the stuff in the Fortress is a callback to various other incarnations of Superman (the special mission suits from Superman: The Animated Series, the prisoner rings from the movies, one of the Mechanical Monsters and the Bullet Car from two of the Fleischer Superman cartoons). Toyman's giant robot spider and Kevin Smith's mocking of it refer to a well-known script that was proposed for a Superman movie. The teenaged Superman clones in Luthor's lab resemble the Superman design from Season 1 of the Legion of Super-Heroes cartoon. The above mentioned line about curing AIDS but deliberately stretching out the treatments is a reference to an early Post-Crisis storyline. In the comics, Luthor came up with a cure for Lois's mother's unspecified illness, but manipulated the formula to require extended and unaffordable treatments to maintain leverage over Lois. Superman's trying to cure cancer, having a machine that receives transmissions from the future, creating miniature suns from dwarf star matter and Lex Luthor's Kryptonite Gun are all references to All-Star Superman. The clone Superman's rescue of an old lady's cat from a tree is reminiscent of a scene from Superman: The Movie. A Superman II reference: Someone gets thrown into a soda billboard during a war between supermen. A Flying Brick created and controlled by Lex sending Toyman to a Disney Villain Death also happened in Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, only there, Superman stopped it, and a clone of him wasn't the cause of it. The discovery and subsequent destruction of the cloning laboratory is heavily similar to the "Identity Crisis" episode of The Animated Series.

Withholding the Cure: Lex apparently figured out how to cure Bird Flu, AIDs and muscle dystrophy but is keeping it secret until he can make more money by creating a TREATMENT and forcing people to pay him over and over again. Superman on the other hand is despairing that he cannot find the Cure for Cancer even with his advanced Kryptonian tech.

Adapted Out: The movie wrote out every non-Superman character. Because of its nature as a Direct-to-DVD animated movie and legal issues with Superboy, the replacement Supermen are also replaced by a clone (like Superboy) with elements of Cyborg-Superman and the Eradicator. Jonathan Kent is also written out.

comment
Death by Adaptation: Jonathan Kent was alive in The Death of Superman, although the stress of his son's passing caused him to have a near-fatal heart attack. In this version, however, he appears to have been dead for some time, seeing that until Lois went out to seek her, Martha Kent was left to grieve by herself. While the character wouldn't be created until after The Death of Superman, Luthor shoots Mercy after she covers up Lexcorp's role in Doomsday's rampage.

comment
Gory Discretion Shot: Used for most of the murders that Doomsday commits, but one example sticks in your mind. Towards the end of their fight, Doomsday has Superman in a neck lift and is repeatedly ramming a fist into his stomach with enough force to make the ground shake. Cut to Lois looking on and flinching away as we hear the fourth punch... and we hear Superman vomiting, and Superman's blood splatters across her face. Her horrified expression as she realizes this says it all. In a bit of Gallows Humor, Clone Superman going to a beauty shop and using heat vision on his own head to surgically remove a Restraining Bolt from his brain. A woman fainting in horror sells it.

Even before that Lois Lane has to guide Superman to her apartment, and later finds he hasn't been to visit his mother. This is because Clone Superman only knows what Lex Luthor knows. Lex doesn't know about Martha Kent, or that Superman and Lois are lovers.

The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life: Played with; Superman and Lois have begun a romantic (and, it's heavily implied, sexual) relationship, but Superman refuses to tell Lois his secret identity. Lois, however, has clearly already worked out that Superman and Clark Kent are the same person, but just wants him to open up to her as a sign of trust and commitment. The fact that he won't causes tension between them.

Pragmatic Adaptation: Among other things, it streamlined the Reign of the Supermen segment/act and put Luthor in his traditional appearance and role rather than the long hair and beard he was sporting and pretending to be his own son like he was at the time of the story it's based on. Unfortunately, they also had to cut out Steel. The legal mess with Superboy at the time might've played a hand.

Lack of Empathy
 Superman: Doomsday / int_658f7193
comment
Lack of Empathy: Lex Luthor says that his duplicate Superman has the same morality as the original, but he doesn't seem to notice the obvious difference. Freudian Excuse: The empathy is there (he's angry enough to commit his first murder to avenge a dead child) but not the moral upbringing and belief in the American Way the real Superman got from the Kents.

Bus Full of Innocents: The Toyman hijacks a school bus full of children and holds it over the edge of a building with his mechanical spider, threatening to dump it if the police don't back off. Lois Lane manages to sneak on board and get most of the children out, but ends up falling with the last child on the bus when the Toyman drops it, only to soon be rescued by Superman who turns out to be a clone under Lex Luthor's control.

Villain Has a Point: When Clone!Superman points out that saving a cat from a tree (that only got up there due to a careless owner) might delay him getting to life-threatening disaster and admonishes the owner for not being more responsible. However, the real Superman never thought that way — as shown in All-Star Superman. The little things were as important as the larger ones, and Superman was smart enough to know when he had time to help people.

Take That!: The giant robot spider is a Shout-Out to an infamous (never filmed) draft for a Superman movie. To further drive the point across, Kevin Smith actually makes a cameo in Ink-Suit Actor form, commenting on how lame the giant spider was. Mr. Smith was originally forced to include a giant spider into the script of said never filmed movie by the producer. The Toyman looks suspiciously similar in style to a Tim Burton character. Tim Burton was hired to direct the aforementioned script but had Smith cut out from the project.

Morality Chain: Apparently, this is what Superman is to the world. Without him, it's not pretty. Crime rate in Metropolis skyrockets, Lois begins taking more risks out of desperation to help people even though she knows Superman won't be around to save her, Jimmy quits the Planet to work for a tabloid, and Perry starts drinking.

Knight Templar: The clone Superman, to a truly creepy degree. The guy kills Toyman (who, to be fair, had just killed a four year-old, but this is Superman), and here's the speech he gives a woman after saving her Cat Up a Tree: Adam Baldwin really sells the moment so well that you're not sure if Clone Superman isn't going to kill that cat or not. After using his heat vision to destroy the guns of the cops attempting to arrest him—causing some injuries from burns and ammunition cooking off—the clone warns one of the injured cops to watch his language in a tone of voice implying the cop might be on the receiving end of another burst of heat vision—or worse.

comment
What the Hell, Hero?: Lois delivers this to Superman at the beginning of the movie. She's long ago realized that Superman is Clark Kent, but the fact that he refuses to just say it outright makes her think that's it's just a bog-standard fear of commitment. She also ties this into Superman's questionable invocation of It's Not You, It's My Enemies as a reason to keep their relationship secret—the entire city already thinks they're dating anyway.

Composite Character

comment
Composite Character: The cloned Superman combines elements of three of the replacement Supermen from the comics— The Last Son of Krypton (who killed common criminals), The Man of Tomorrow (who turned out to be the villain of the arc), and The Metropolis Kid (who was a clone of Superman). Also seen in using Luthor as the creator of the Superman clone as opposed to yet another character that they would have had to introduce. In the comics, the "Last Son" was a byproduct of the Eradicator, Cadmus made the Superman clone, and Hank Henshaw actually has multiple origins through interactions with various forms of Phlebotinum.
