A release date of Fall 2007 is also revealed!

Maybe we need to make a Superman: Doomsday forum.

 

[Road Warrior]

looks like its going to be Timm style

Maybe thats cause Bruce Timm is involved....right

 

[Kevin Roegele]

I cannot wait to see this movie.

 

[Catman]

Same here, Kev. It's taken 14 years to make a Death of Superman movie. It better be good.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

Maybe thats cause Bruce Timm is involved....right

I was hearing before that the art-style would be different. Aside from Lex's look, everything looks about the same, except a little blockier.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Is this supposed to be the Eradicator?

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Is this supposed to be the Eradicator?

I'm guessing that's Kelex, the robot who looks after Kal-El when he wakes up post-death in the Fortress.

 

[Catman]

Is this movie supposed to be in the same universe as the cartoon series or is it something different?

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

I'm guessing that's Kelex, the robot who looks after Kal-El when he wakes up post-death in the Fortress.

Or maybe a mix of the two.

 

[Binker]

On dccomics.com, its only listed as "robot".

 

[Catman]

So, no one knows if this movie will be in continuity with the cartoon series or not?

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Or maybe a mix of the two.

I doubt it. The Eradicator has to look like Superman because Metropolis believes that's who he might be.

I recall reading when this was first announced that it is not in continuity with the series.

Interesting! So, besides Timm is anyone else from the series returning like Tim Daly for example.

 

[batman strikes]

They haven't announced the cast yet, but hopefully they will have the same voice actors from Superman: The animated series. I don't care if this is not part of the DCAU, I still would like them to return because everytime I read a Superman or Batman comic they are the voices I imagine when reading them.

Do you think we'll see the four fake Supermen? I strongly doubt that.

Tim Daly is da man!

 

[echostation]

It couldn't be in the real continuity cuz Superman finally beat the **** out of Doomsday in that one episode of JLU and threw him into the fire

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Well, the Eradicator and Hank Henshaw/Cyborg are essential to the plot, so I think we'll see atleas those two.

 

[CLARKY]

I am actually wondering where the hell did I spend the last years, because I didn't hear about this project at all !!!!!!
I heard about the New Frontier, but not about Superman : Doomsday !!!
I didn't know !!!
It's a total scoop for me!

Looks great ... but I'm not a big fan of the new designs, I think they could (if they keep Timm in the team) have keep the same ones.

 

[dude stannis]

So wait, wasn't Luthor a red headed Irish guy? How come his figure is bald?

 

[Kevin Roegele]

So wait, wasn't Luthor a red headed Irish guy? How come his figure is bald?

Because Luthor in the comic secretly cloned himself. Then when he died, he had his brain put into his clone's body (which had a full head of hair). He then went around saying he was the son of Lex Luthor, while he was really the original Lex in a new body.

It makes sense that the Doomsday movie will just ignore this, as it's not relevant to the story.

Essential? Maybe the movie is closer to the "Superman lives" script by Kevin Smith than to the comics.

 

[pwl4life]

I doubt it's related to superman lives, it might be but I hope not. I really want to see the 4 supermen. especially cyborg, eradicator and superboy. But it's to soon to speculate.we'll have to wait and see

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Essential? Maybe the movie is closer to the "Superman lives" script by Kevin Smith than to the comics.

Intresting point.We know this is a movie of The Death and Return of Superman, scaled down to fit 90 mins or so. We know both Doomsday and Superman's black suit are in the movie. But that is all we know.

Take out the four psuedo-Supermen and what do you have? Do you have the Mongol plot? If Superman dies defeating Doomsday, what does he do when he comes back?
