While drinking Johnnie Walker mixed with water, Max Landis talks about Superman and how he influenced the world of comic book superheroes until his fading popularity in the 1990s. The film was produced by Bryan Basham, creator of COPS: Skyrim. The film, as its title implies, is a monologue about ' The Death and Return of Superman' storyline from DC Comics over parody-like sketches. Unlike your proverbial death and taxes, the demise of Superman in this story wasn't intended to be a sure thing.The Death and Return of Superman is a short film released in 2012 on YouTube, by Chronicle writer Max Landis. With a large cast of Justice Leaguers to satisfy most any fan, this was a reasonably entertaining animated flick that really doesn't leave anyone in suspense as to the eventual outcome of Superman's destiny. When Superman ultimately fights Doomsday, it becomes the classic 'irresistible force' meets 'immovable object' scenario, an expression I first heard when I was probably about eight years old reading DC Comics back in the late Fifties. Another was when Clark shared an intimate moment with Lois and he responded to her with 'You've got me, but who's got you?', an obvious direct reference to the first Christopher Reeve 'Superman' movie in which the statement was made by Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, when Superman saved her from falling out a high rise window. A couple things caught my attention in this animated version, for one thing, Clark Kent's physique seemed larger than Superman's, especially when he was standing next to Lois Lane in shirt sleeves. Being that my memory of the written story has faded over the past quarter century, I thought this was a credible retelling of the story that shocked the comic book world in the early Nineties. But not in the movie franchises, though I have to admit, the Marvel folks do a better job aside from the Dark Knight films. It's what brought me back to comic books as an adult, at least for a decade before losing interest again. Hard to believe that it's twenty six years already since 'The Death of Superman' story line was presented by DC Comics back in 1992.
