    Where Doomsday is coming from doesn't matter. As long as Doomsday isn't just Michael Shannon wearing zombie make up it's the same thing as him being a different character.

    Doomsday's story is not something that people should treat as sacred. Jimmy Olsen was Doomsday in an alternate universe. No reason to be upset by this unless you are looking to be upset by something.

    Except it's just lazy. Even to the casual fan I'm sure they would be confused as to why the would recycle Zod in such a fashion.

    it would be like if (Maguire) Spiderman 2 had some scientist fuse the corpse of Norman Osborn with 4 robotic arms. It's lazy, and doesn't do justice to either character that's being combined.

    I've never followed DC much, but even I remember this panel when I was a kid. I'd say it was pretty sacred in the comic world. At least until a couple of weeks went by and they brought Super-Man back to life.

    I still got the doomsday killing superman comic unopened. Only one I ever bought. I don't think it's worth jack shit because I guess everyone saved that one

    If it's still sealed in the black bag it's like 30-40 bucks.

    it's a clear baggy seal. and 30 or 40 ain't much the damn thing was like 15$ when it first came out (20 yrs ago?), they were busting heads on it. It's the one with the superman symbol on the front in black and that's it. I dunno if he died in any others


    edit: ok yeah it's what you said

    I think they printed 3 million copies of that issue. Not joking. That's why it's worth nada. That story and the resulting fiasco with the four supermen put me off DC for twenty years.

    Going back and reading it the whole thing still makes for an entertaining, if very Nineties story. DC has spit out much worse crap over the years, Forever Evil being the most recent turd they dropped on readers chests.

    I was just thinking, what's the odds we get that Bats v Supes trailer tomorrow? WB/DC must be flipping desks tonight.

    Why would they release it? To combat the Spider-man announcement?

    Find the darkest dark image, pretend it is moving. You have a DC movie.

    Wonder if this one is going to be as Dragon Ball Z as the last one.
