Review of All Star Superman (2011) by Ian G — 23 Mar 2013

A very interesting take on the Superman mythos that has followed the trend of the DCU Animated Film universe for taking an existing graphic novel and adapting it for the direct to dvd market. Done in an anime style similar to Gotham Knight, tracks the All Star Superman arc where during one of their many engagements, Lex Luthor exposes Superman to an extra radiation burst of sun which puts his immune system into overdrive which will essentially cause his transformation into pure energy/death in a matter a weeks.

Much more reflective and engaging that some of the other DCU titles and presents some interesting conundrums as to the various relationships in the Superman world. This is one of the few times I can recall Lois asking herself how she feels about Clark lying to her for all of these years about his true identity.

Pretty cool stuff and would love to see more of this style of tale done in the future releases.
