The Death and Return of Superman story arc was so well written and drawn. No wonder it's a legendary story.
Maybe to you newbies this seems like a waste of time. But in late 1992, living through this was epic. It’s still one of my favorite comic book stories/ events of all time!👍🏽
This was a very strong and powerful moment in comic book history
THIS IS WHY SUPERMAN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT,ICONIC,AND GREATEST SUPERHERO OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
What exactly are you talking about? A cash cow effort (with the exception of Louise Simonson, the only person involved who seemed truly sincere in her desire to write a good story and pay respect to a character she clearly loves) to reignite interest in Superman with tactics akin to yellow journalism is hardly what I call something that proves Superman is THE MOST IMPORTANT,ICONIC,AND GREATEST SUPERHERO OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I love the character, but what has made the character so endearing and such a powerful icon of inspiration for over 75 years can be found in the uttermost core essence of the character: Superman's moral fortitude. Some people see this as a negative aspect and view Superman as nothing but a mere boy scout, but that just goes to show the growing cynicism of a world in which the concepts of truth, justice and hope are increasingly being seen as the stuff of fairy tales.
Wanna know why so many people disliked Man of Steel? This characteristic was seldom found in the film. In place of this was a more paranoid and distrusting character who has little to no faith in humanity until he has a discussion with a priest. Snyder and Goyer missed the point of the character entirely. The point was and has been for Superman to be a character that elevates the world around him and refuses to allow it to drag him down. New interpretations are fine, but ignorance of what makes the character the character and what separates him from other comic book superheroes is not.
Superman’s been around for 80 years.

@@classifiedtopsecret4664 Exactly!
@@stuckinthemiddle6851 You weren't paying attention to the video. The WHOLE Superman writing team were passionate about this story. They knew the weight and great responsibility they had in creating the death and resurrection of the greatest super hero ever created, and they rose to the challenge and delivered.
Superman is about perseverance and altruism. He's the mythological, the human, and the hero. He is the ultimate adoption story. 10 years ago, Zack Snyder gave us that in Man of Steel. Superman is universal; many thing to many different people. He didn't earn becoming one of the most popular and recognizable symbols on the planet by being just one way, and the diversity reflects in his lore, and in that film.
So many people "disliked" Man of Steel because they failed pay attention to the fact that this version was about Clark finding out about who he was and why he chose to become humanity's protector, instead of having be it written off as a matter of destiny.
Very fun watch..would like to see a documentary like this about Batman : Knightfall with the creators
The part with ma and pa also made me cry. It was so sad she couldn’t even go to the funeral for her son. Such a emotional comic.
Wow, this is one of the stories that was big when i was growing up. Yet, I didn't have a deep appreciation for the event until after watching this video. Growing up reading comics like the Death and Return of Superman, made me realize ,at a young age, that comics is not this dumb entertainment format. Just like tv,novels, and movies, it's a format that can appeal to everybody. The movie industry is finally catching up to comics.
I started reading comics because of this event. Found a comic book previewing the Death of Superman and since then, I'm hooked. Love u, DC.
Louise Simonson is just the absolute best. 🙌
I was a kid when this happened the stories about people mourning Superman were true. It was like if the president or a major celebrity was killed.
Superman's titantic battle with Doomsday and his death / return is just legendary & remains to this day my favorite comic book story arc of all time.
A great story arc. I loved the bilbo arc as well. True emotional moment for the character. The funeral was absolutely beautiful.
The Death and Return of Superman remains my favorite storyline from the comics around that time and is to this day. Great documentary with the original creators of the event.
This event was so huge that news about it made it to newspapers here in Egypt.
The Death of Superman was the biggest and most prolific death of a fictional character since Sherlock Holmes had his fateful encounter with Professor Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls in Conan Doyle's The Adventure of the Final Problem.
I remember this and still have my copy. Also these artist writers wow talk about the love they have is incredible. This is what I live my job looks like
I grew up reading Funeral for a friend. That’s the story that got me into comics.
I'm glad that SM is reborn
The Death of Superman was so overly hyped as an 'event' that 1000s of people bought the comic thinking it would pay their kids way thru college but it and the 'Funeral for a Friend' and the "Reign of the Supermen' story arcs are not worth all that much. The non-comic buying people thought Supes was dead and would stay dead. The stories were good reading, but did anyone really believe Supes would stay dead?
I've never read a comic book but I think I'm going to start!
Everyone new DC was never going to kill off Superman for good. But what a great comic.
Oh lord I made sooooooo much money off of people who normally didn't read comics the day this issue came out. Thanks Superman!
It may have been a gimmick, novelty, AND a publicity stunt. BUT IT WORKED! I got into DC comics through the Death of Superman.
I'm not a big reader or superman guy but it's cool how they discuss this one comic n villain
Whole lotta feels, man, whole lotta feels.
I am a die hard batman fan. However, I have so much more respect for the character of superman now. Definitely much harder to see situations in black and white than gray. I was only in like 3rd grade when all this went down so I guess I grew up not liking the king of boy scout type superheroes.
Great watch. Definitely a historic event still being talked about this day.
My family and I had just moved, and we were hanging out with my aunt and uncle one afternoon and my cousin had Superman issue 75 and I didn’t know what it was until I saw the cover. And then reading it…it hit me. And as someone who had been brain fed on the Christopher Reeve movies this was something I hadn’t read in a long time or since then. Except Batman Knightfall. But even then, it’s Death of Superman for me.
This was an amazing documentary. This storyline was what got me back into comic-books, and I had just purchased Reign Of The Supermen this past weekend. I’d like for WB Home Video to take this two-part storyline and reissue it as one movie; similar to what they had done for the Batman/Dark Knight Returns animated films. And as a bonus, include the Superman/Doomsday movie and all of its special features, as a two-pack movie set.
I didn't even follow the Superman comics, but that cover of the tattered cape was so dramatic, even I remember that one. I never even read it, and I remember it, just because that image was so powerful and the impossible news that Superman dies...
this is AWESOME.
This documentary is better than the movie it came with
23:00 Mike Carlin over here cosplaying as Super Boy
Remember when you used to enjoy watching things online because you didn't have to watch commercials?
Shoot. Now I watch t.v. to take a break from all the ads on youtube...
Ad block is your secret weapon against ads.
great story arc!!!! read it at the time and read it yesterday!!!!amazing fight sequence!!!
7:53 is how I feel about Supes after Death Battle 25 and 50
Does anyone have any idea why Superboy was censored from this? I was so hyped to finally see a mention to 90s Superboy when they start naming Superman's 4 sucessors, and they show me his FEET!!! They showed all the other guys, I wonder why... I searched about it but how do you find stuff like that, ya know?
If anyone has any idea as to why they did this, please tell me! Can't get it out of my head!!!
There was a time in DC I think that Superboy was owned by the Siegel- Shuster family, and they can only show the character provided they get license form the family. Or something like that.
This year we finally have a proper animated movie about the death and return of Superman
The omnibus is coming out April 2019 reprinted going to get it 😊😊😊👍👍👍
Superman does kill, action comics #779
I read this at the time. phenomenal stuff.
You call them morons, but what is your so called epic way he should go? Another thing, he wasnt a random monster, he was just a new monster. There was a build-up to the plot, thoroughly planned out and executed. Besides he had died before anyway, it was nothin new
I have a graphic novel of The Death Of Superman in my Superman graphic novel collection!❤✊
amazing how many people it took to get the story going give it Alan Moore and his death would be for real and make it hurt
I really like this documentary :) And other documentaries like it :)
Love'd this story when it was published and "Reign" is probably my favorite of all time...
But this documentary (done by Warner Brother's) doesn't tell more than one/fifth of the actual ramifications of this storyline.
The version done by Max Landis provides a broader picture of what this event did to the industry.
Omg was she really starting to cry...
i cried the first time i readed this part
How dare a creator get emotionally attached to her stories!!!? :) Of course she cried, it was a sad moment in the books.
Will Common Yes you got a problem with that? It was a emotional comic you should try reading it.
That's great! Whatever we can do to get kids reading comics, I'm in. I've been enjoying comics since before I could read because my dad is a DC fan. I think we as fans need to think more about all the kids who could be reading. There are some great kids' books but hardly any advertising or visibility. Most kids start reading because they enjoy the movies or animated shows too. I don't know if you have kids or nieces/nephews or what but now it's our turn to get the kids onboard.
What was that Song at the End Credits !? I've heard it before but I don't know the name
I remember being very young and going through my basement. I found a couple of random comic books in a desk and one of them was "The Death of Superman."
I've watched many animations and read modest novels, but never really got into comics ( Outside of Heavy Metal magazine...once again my father's accidental doing ). It was thanks to Death of Superman that I learned about comics, and appreciate them greater now as a result.
On to the topic at hand: By bringing Superman back they've undone the power of his death. Alternative reality Supermen are fine, and would still fuel an entertaining and exciting continuation of the comics...but ultimately he should have remained dead in OUR universe (or at the very least in the DC verse that represents ours up to that point).
They should definitely had killed Superman...they should definitely had NOT brought him back.
You have got to be kidding me.
And yet DC have done the exact same thing with Batman just recently by killing him then bringing him back a number of months later...
this needs to be in the next superman movie but with the justic leag
anyone came here recently because of the new Death Of Superman movie? I like any adaptation, but personally nothing can be compared to the original comic.
I don't think you can recreate the atmosphere that existed when the comic came out like not knowing if he would return, the mystery or the anticipation.
Goat
They are making a documentary about it called "The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened". It was funded by a Kickstarter campaign. Should be coming out soon.
the greatest most epic video in the history of youtube and this is coming from a MARVEL fan....this should me man of steel 4 or whatever the number it is but it should occur after the introducing the justice league so that the bonds are created and when superman dies you get to feel the pain from every person and superhero alike
wolverine Well, too late. DC wasted the story. XD
Superman never dies. He's only weakened.
It's stated in the Reign of the Superman storyline that Superman does in fact die in his battle with Doomsday. It was only years later that DC (specifically, Geoff Johns) decided to retcon his death into just being "weakened" or "comatose."
Come on .. Superman can't die .. Cuz he's Superman !!!
We aren't told how superman is revived?! What a complete tease...
STAY TUNED!
The sun
READ THE BOOK!
so superman didn't die in the fight between him and darksied?
I, to this day, have never seen this nor will I.
What are you talking about? The death of Superman is an essential comic book storyline.
Plus, multiple film adaptations have already been made about the story arc. Try watching them sometime.
Also, if you're not going to watch this, why did you even comment?
I have the issue he reveals his identdy to Lois but not the one he dies
wait a minute so now that doomsday is in batman vs superman does that meen superman is going to die in that film or mayby the next one :O ?
he died in the film just seen it today lmao
+Dez Ivory *SPOILERS* He will come back to life somehow. There is no Justice League without Superman.
+Benny 117 of course lol
+Dez Ivory but they are going to make another one because the coefen he was in move at the end
i guess i saw the future
Actually, this is how the writers and designers described Doomsday as... XD
and the way they brought him back just shows the stupidity of these ppl. cyborg superman, steel.....
You misspelled CREATIVITY.
Fuck... I just spilled soda on myself
you could've met in secondlife to save on airplane cost.
Looks like injustice regime
I have a question and forgive me but forget Clark/Superman: Did Lois ever die? I've never heard that story!
Tobias Walker She died in Kingdom Come, killed by the Joker.
Giovanni Alckmim Russo Thank you and yes never heard that one!
Tobias Walker It's not a canonical story. It's set in an alternate future where after Lois's death and Joker being murdered by a new superhero, Superman exiles himself in the Fortress of Solitude, while other heroes exiles as well or continue to fight crime. Search about this story on google and wikipedia, it's very amazing. Probably the best superhero comic book I had ever read.
Giovanni Alckmim Russo And no doubt the basis for Injustice Gods Among Us, thank you!
Why does D.C Comics always have most of their heroes or sidekicks die, like Batman/Bruce Wayne and Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood
For good storywriting
i have this book is it worth a million dollars mint condition facck
Adblock is your friend.
The movie itself sucked horribly, but this documentary was amazing. I hope DC re-releases it with the upcoming two-part "Death of Superman" animated film, or does an even more in-depth behind-the-scenes look.
so, how did superman return from the grave? they never told us that part.
Read the book to find out!
@@theunknowncommenter725 ... there's a book?! i think i'll wait for the movie to come out. oh, wait, it already did.
LOL!! Here's a cookie now go sit in the corner
So many people upset by a marketing gimmick!
Said by someone who likely did not live through that time. I was a teenager when this whole thing first went down, and it was truly Earth-shattering to most comic fans.
Moviefan2k4 Agreed I remember this and non comic fans at the time even grown adults waiting for this issue. Christopher Reeves Superman was still in there memories at this time.
Moviefan2k4 also no other character I believe has been killed off like this before. And it’s Superman of all characters. That’s why it was a big deal.
10:33 creator admits doomsday is a ripoff of the hulk.
+Kenton Morales Since Hulk is a ripoff of Solomon Grundy, is right back at you. DONE.
Amonny nah. solomon grundy was first but he became more hulk like over the years. why do you think justice league unlimited did a defenders homage with grundy as hulk? its a common trick dc does. brainiac used to be hominoid but they made him more ultron like. Timberwolf was initially nothing like wolverine, but became more wolverine like. Superman initially couldn't fly but started flying after captain marvel. I could go on and on. done.
Kenton Morales Yeah, try more.
Amonny don't have to.
R.I.P. dcu
+Kenton Morales superman can fly because animators didn't want to animate the jumping as it was harder.
12 YEARS LATER..... A faithful adaptation is coming. 2 part. Death and Reign of the Superman cast announced.
This was a woefully awful adaptation. The only redeeming thing about the dvd was this doc on the special features.
I liked Bruce Timm version more
Too bad Tim Burton's SUPERMAN LIVES never happened:( It would'e been somewhat based on the DEATH OF SUPERMAN.
how about the death of Batman
Final Crisis
sounds more like JLA
why not kill off Batman,he's human
Courtney White less of impact batman is human so it is natural he dies but superman is supposed to be the one above us all super strong, heat vision, xray,flight,speed,super breath superman seem to be like a god unstoppable and so when he died it had more of an effect on people then Batman
GothamKnightRX wow chill
Paul Levitz is more boring and square than Chris Reeve's Clark Kent!
this shows no is invinsible
what a bunch of hacks.
No, these are the CREATIVES who crafted a great story.
Lois and Clark sucked compared to Superboy...
super man dies who cares. couldn't survive well that's happen so deal with it. he was freaking weak in the end.
Shut up troll
The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here.
They should have kept him dead.
That was never going to happen.
Boy, they know how to sell it don't they?
I'm glad it was a fun time for them, but I was never impressed at all with the story arc or the content. Now looking back, it's one of the worst Superman cluster-mucks in his comic history.
My opinion of course. But very cool upload. I remember this from 2006.
I agree that Death is meh
But Reign is completely awesome.
It brought a lot of cool new ideas to the table, like Superboy that has his bioelectric field fucked up so it's telekinesis. Eradicator and Cyborg Superman where one is AI inside flesh and blood and other is human mind inside technology.
Then there is also badass Superman in black with guns, that arrives in mecha.
Plus Jurgens then explored Doomsday further in Hunter Prey and added even more ideas to the Superman mythos.
The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here.
Read Superman Doomsday omnibus, most boring writing ever. The arcs just drag, and I think deosn't respect you as a reader. Give me Alan Moore, Frank Miller anyday for that humanist element
The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here.
so superman didn't die in the fight between him and darksied?
