ALL-STAR SUPERMAN Movie Reaction!

[@ChadBenjamin]

You're definitely right, Superman's world is so much bigger than just Metropolis. It contains things like distant futures, alien worlds and even concepts like the Fifth Dimension. You get a lot more variety than Batman, but at the same it means that Gotham is a lot more developed than Metropolis since Gotham is Batman's world while Metropolis is just a part of Superman's.

[@dunringill1747]

Positivity / Optimism / Hope / Sacrifice - That is what Superman represents. All Star Superman does a great job of conveying this.

[@cole6843]

Superman vs The Elite is pretty good too!

[@vibes2749]

Best Superman movie in my opinion

[@sebastianvillavicencio836]

true

[@masterbeast-sz1yq]

The elite team get 👏 😅

[@CalvinChikelue]

Co-signed in triplicate! All Star & Vs The Elite are the two Superman stories most likely to change someone’s perception of Superman as a boring, overpowered, generic strongman. They expertly convey why the character has lasted so long.

[@nedzed3663]

I read this comic years ago and still is one of my favorite Superman stories. Grant Morrison was able to recapture all that Silver Age ridiculous sci-fi crazy shit from that era, make it cohesive and palatable to a 2000's era comic audience that was steeped in post crisis DC storytelling for better or worse (Morrison himself responsible for the better since he had come off his stellar run of Justice League or JLA that would inspire much of the DCAU). He even went back to the 1 Million series he penned years earlier in the aforementioned JLA run with referencing the various future Supermen, Solaris and the Bizarro Plague (which wasn't in the animated movie unfortunately, and though my personal favorite part of the story didn't detract from this movie being enjoyable). This was the perfect love letter to Superman the old and the new, you should read the graphic novels (collected in 2 trades by volumes) when you get the chance, it's been adapted pretty well in the movie though missing the creepy and sort of humorous Bizarro section, which again was my favorite part.

[@studiosupes]

As a Superman fan, this is such a delight to see. I’m so glad you’re enjoying this. Next movie that I REALLY recommend is Superman vs the elite! That’s absolutely one of my faves. And it’s a good clapback when it comes to those that criticize Superman a lot.

[@Stelly777]

Somthing that I really appreciate about this movie that I don't think was in the book is Luthor's character development part of Supermans mission is to change people's heart's and if you're going to write the last Superman story you need to do that with his greatest enemie but because Luthor is a man of science you're not going to convince him with an example of kindness you have to literally show him the world in a different way but he's still a man of science so instead of confessing his sins to a priest he does it with a fellow scientist

[@Glumsage]

it's in there if i remember right

[@Steele-Wool]

People who say Superman is boring and overpowered really don't know Superman that well tbh Your analysis of his character is very spot on. I'm so glad you've been enjoying getting into Superman material and been having good time with it! Superman always gets me emotional, because with his unprecedented strength there's a lot he could do, but all he really wants is to do good. He is the definition of kindness and being humble. Forgiving an enemy is always something that's guaranteed to make me cry, because honestly it's one of the most difficult things someone can do. A lot of the time I see people making comparisons that Superman is like a god and people worship him, but that's not what Superman wants or sees in himself. He doesn't see himself as *above* others, he sees himself as one of them. With Batman a lot of the time I truly feel like Bruce Wayne is his mask and the cowl is his true face. But with Superman, Clark Kent is who he really is. Clark and Superman are both equally important and valid to his identity as a whole person, and he has such an appreciation for his human-styled life. He doesn't use it just to hide, it's part of who he really is. I recently saw a comic panel that epitomizes everything about Superman, in it he's in space and he's looking at the Earth as a whole and he says, "I love you."

[@Steele-Wool]

@@Narutoanime16g Agreed! Superman has more humanity in his character than people who make shallow criticisms realize, and that's why he has consistently remained one of the most popular and relevant characters to this day!

[@gibbs615]

You're absolutely right about all that! People these days who say Superman is boring and all that other bullshit really just don't know him as well as they think. Besides they're just way too cynical these days that's their main problem🙄

[@Steele-Wool]

@@gibbs615 I agree! I'm not a fan when people say he should be a darker and grittier hero and they say he should leave his boy scout persona behind, because at his core that's not who Superman is. Above all, Superman represents hope and I don't care how unrealistic some people may find it, but I think we need that in the world.

[@gibbs615]

@@Steele-Wool True all that! Damn cynical people these days just don't get it and they don't know Superman at all. Plus I think the writers in DC animation these days have been appeasing them for their money by making it look like Superman is a failure as a superhero and as a leader and he's really not supposed to be.

[@Steele-Wool]

@@gibbs615 Yeah, it seems a lot of modern Superman material is definitely not understanding the essence of his character lately. Say what you will about James Gunn taking over the DCU, but based on what he's been saying about Superman lately on Twitter, it looks like he actually understands what makes Superman wonderful and intends to bring that big heart to the big screen.

[@andre1999o]

James Gunn has cited this as a major source of inspiration for the Superman movie he's writing. I can't wait to see what's in store.

[@bennywark3103]

Me too

[@zzeroara9511]

personally, I'm not a big fan of how more recent CBMs have been only using 25-45% of the content they're adapting from. I would MUCH rather he just make an All-Star Superman movie because that is what a. comic fans deserve and b. what audiences need to change their mind on Superman after moody, cringe Zack Snyder's superman

[@Wolfhunter5607]

@@zzeroara9511he cited all star superman, birthright and superman: brainiac as the inspirations for superman legacy

[@Angeluis2883]

I'm hoping for the best from James Gunn but expecting the worst. I just hope he doesn't try to put to much comedy in this film like Guardians of the Galaxy. It worked for that movie but Superman is different. He has been my favorite superhero since I was a kid. I just hope it don't ruin it for me. I think Henry Cavil did a great job with the script he was giving and I don't like the way they did Henry but I'm always willing to give a new Superman a chance. Christopher Reeves is still my favorite but Henry did a great job, hopefully Cornsweat can do the same. Long live Superman

[@Old_Joseph]

@@Jason5818UII mean no he doesn’t, because we see the real Superman is the bandaged mystery Superman from the future, so we know he’s alive to go back in time to say goodbye to Pa Kent before he dies.

"Where is Superman!? Do you fear the Tyrant Sun!? Face the Scourge of Worlds!" Solaris just up in here like a surprise tag team in WWE or something. LOL

[@Victor-qx3vx]

I love this movie!!! About comics: I highly recommend “Superman Up in the Sky”. Just like All Star, it feels like a love letter to the character and shows us what his true strength really is.

[@thesmilyguyguy9799]

:)

[@CalvinChikelue]

Oh yes! I love that one! Despite the mixed reception (often deservedly so) to Tom King’s comics: I genuinely think Superman: Up in the Sky & his Batman run are tied for the best DC projects he’s done.

[@reginaldfrempong6644]

I'm glad you're a fan of Superman. A lot of people don't really give him the recognition as a badass character.

[@coreymcgivney5897]

Good Superman stuff always gets me. I genuinely can’t think of a fictional character that has impacted me like Superman has. my favourite fictional Character of all time and don’t see that changing, Superman Vs The Elite is my favourite Movie so that’s one I’m excited to maybe see you watch down the line, but I’m so glad to see you on the journey.

[@klunk279]

oh god yes Superman vs the Elite is AMAZING!

[@nedzed3663]

Oh, the series DC 1 Million series that Morrison also penned years before he wrote All Star Superman elaborated more on the future Supermen and his return in the far far future after repairing the sun. It's a way out there story of time travel where rhe Justice League meets their 853rd century counterparts, and time travel shenanigans ensue. And I agree, Animated series Lex will always be my favorite, I still hear Clancy Brown whenever I read a comic and he's in it

[@nedzed3663]

@mariebourgot4949 Oh I love YJ Lex Luthor, especially season 2 and 3, despite having spent more years watching the DCAU version, and practically hearing Clancy Brown's voice in every Superman comic I read following JLU's ending.

[@pullcarsmelly8051]

All Star Superman isn't the same superman from superman 1 million. THIS superman actually dies.

[@CaptainAmercia]

Like the comic this film is very much a stand alone set in it's own continuity as a way to introduce a new and old readers into a fun Superman story from start to finish without having to read through a bunch of his lifetime as Superman. Another great animated movie set in it's own continuity is The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 & Part 2 set on Earth-31 a really cool setting and storyline. Should note it's set in 1986 which is something a few people miss.

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

Yes 👍🏿👍🏿

[@gibbs615]

Now this was another animated Superman movie that showed once again why he was always known as the world's greatest superhero. This was also another time he's proven he's not just muscle but he's got a big brain too like on that part when Lois almost died from that damn sphinx necklace. Also as you heard Lois say "He's not dead, he's just fixing the sun and he'll come back." and it's what she believes so that's good enough for me. Well Meg I hope you get to the next Superman TAS episode on your Patreon very soon! Also some other Superman animated movies you should do are: Superman Doomsday Superman Unbound Superman vs the Elite

[@masterbeast-sz1yq]

Suprman can gets new abilities if he get close to the sun for ⏲️ or to a blue star or white 😊...suprman really is op like hell

[@dagonofthedepths]

That scene where Luthor realized how the universe functions was the hardest L I ever seen him take in his history. It's one thing to beat someone but to shatter their world view and get them to realize what they are is another thing all together.

[@darthpelvis]

Grant Morrison also wrote DC One Million where there is closure to this particular story

[@yamen7652]

SUPERMAN PRIME ONE MILLION

[@HarryLimeLives82]

I had an inkling you'd like this! Grant Morrison's original is soooo good, definitely worth reading even though you know where it's heading. His Batman stuff, Animal-Man, JLA....eurgh he's bloody great.

[@Purpleyoshisinthesky]

I’ve been loving all your Superman reactions! I personally recommend watching Superman vs The Elite, it’s another great standalone Superman movie and one of the definitive Superman stories in my opinion

[@Rahulrana_7729]

My man flew to another galaxy for flowers.... Now that's COMMITMENT

[@supergirlvideoclips894]

Animated movies that I recommend to watch. 1) Flashpoint Paradox 2) Son of Batman 3) Superman - Batman : Apocalypse

[@misternobody3481]

The late, great Dwayne MacDuffie adapted the comic series for this film. The All Star Superman comics were an alternate universe version which included a lot of Silver Age comics references. There were a couple of things left out from the comics, but this movie took the strongest parts and made a fantastic film.

[@marcodabatman]

Hope you watch Superman vs. The Elite someday! Another DC Animated movie that I think perfectly encapsulated what Superman represents

[@squashmallow2006]

"Ma, I'm Superman." "And I'm your mother." Yep. That's MY big blue lovable underpants-wearing boyscout.

[@robbiemason9113]

I've always loved All-Star Superman, but seeing your reaction to it makes me love it even more.

[@powerrangernerd8122]

This movie goes in the way of "how Superman's story ends", but the comic itself is somewhat tied into the DC One Million comics, where he actually returns in a golden form.

[@pullcarsmelly8051]

No. The superman of THIS all star continuity dies. If you read superman 1 million, they explain how that superman left earth, wandered creation, learned from the source and THEN went into the sun for thousands of years. In this story, Grant Morrison crafted a tale of death and acceptance, as intended.

[@OzBeller]

I've just recently bought the All-Star Superman comic, and watched Grant Morrison's (the comic's writer) interview. And I have to say, for the most part this is a very faithful and loving adaptation. But I do wish they had split it up into two movies to make time for all 12 issues. They gave that curtest to Dark Knight Returns and Long Halloween. I wish they could've made room for issues 6 and 10, they were definitely my favourite, and they're almost completely cut from this film. But still a great film.

[@A.Musing.Streamer]

if you haven't already...I HIGHLY recommend you read the Grant Morrison & Frank Quietly Masterpiece of the same name. This movie is Enjoyable...but it is like carving up any Masterpiece...if you know what I mean lol.

[@ciscoralmazora289]

I love this one! -- comics by Grant Morrison, screenplay by the great Dwayne McDuffie (his very last project, actually R.I.P.) 😐

[@realchezboi]

just discovering your channel and it’s reacting to my favourite childhood dc animated films, this is heaven

[@Sternly]

Great reaction. If your interested in more superman comics tyeres 2 I really want to recommend. Superman:American Alien and peace on earth. Aside from All Star superman these are two of the biggest stories that paint the picture of Clark in my head. There are others but I'm sure there be ppl suggesting those as tyeyvsre more popular. Also if you want to cry read Batman: War on Crime. Part of the same series as Peace on Earth

[@studiosupes]

Also that end shot isn’t him frozen in time. It’s a still shot, of him fixing the heart of the sun.

[@pullcarsmelly8051]

That image of Superman fixing the sun is Lois's wishful thinking manifested. In the story, she doesn't accept his impending demise. In the end, she can't accept that he is gone and has crafted the palatable lie that he is in the sun, in steam punkian fashion, with gears and all, and "fixing" the sun, but Superman IS, in fact, dead.

[@CalvinChikelue]

Despite being in my young adulthood when I read All Star Superman, it was still a fundamentally formative & personally impactful piece of media for me! As a kid I’d already loved Superman since my dad brought home comics from his newsstand job but this story seared the fact that he was my favorite superhero into my soul.

[@deanospimoniful]

Man, I just cried like a baby watching this.

[@N0-1_H3r3]

There are so many Superman stories-and Batman stories-that trying to fit them into a single canon is essentially impossible. Superman has been in continual publication since 1938 (and Batman since 1939), with countless rebooted continuities, "elseworlds" stories, and adaptations that each put their own spin on things or dig deep to emphasise different elements. This is very much its own thing, an opportunity to showcase who Superman is at his core, but not necessarily bound to ongoing comics or the continuity of different adaptations.

[@keny1555]

I LOVE this movie. so happy to see your reaction to it. This is basically a one off movie I think. The DC Universe Animated Original Movies are all fantastic.

[@nigeltrotter2886]

Best animated Superman. All-Star did it like Reeve did it. How it was supposed to be done. 4:47- That's great voice acting. Listen to how sorry the Dr sounds giving that news.

[@otaku-sempai2197]

Science-fiction author Larry Niven once wrote an essay about why Superman and Lois could never be intimate. The title was "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex".

[@henrym7990]

This is such an amazing analysis of Superman and his whole mythos. You’re an expert. I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks kiddo.

[@vic5469]

In All Star Superman, Superman can use his own bioelectric field to save a space ship from fall in the sun, and it looks like a blue power, so that isn’t new

[@cubetamalvada893]

This movie is based on the comic from the same name, the author envisioned that this Superman would turn into Superman One Million, a Superman that spent milleniums inside the sun, learning and getting stronger, that Superman appears in that comic, however, to give this Allstar Superman a proper ending, fans have the head-canon that this Superman that turns into Superman One Million is also the Superman of that same name that appeared a couple of decades before, in that comic he returned from the sun and was received by all the heroes in the multiverse, as a gift for all of what he did for his universe, they all rewarded him with a resurrected Lois that had almost his same super powers and revived all of planet Krypton.

[@bputulin1]

Just discovered your channel and I love the videos I’ve seen so far. I’ve been on a huge Superman kick myself over the last couple of months just immersing myself in whatever books or media I can find. I highly suggest watching Smallville and Superman and Lois. Those are two really good shows.😃👍

[@skywalker_7567]

I would definitely recommend watching Superman Batman: public enemies. Its based off a comic and captures Superman and Batman’s friendship very well

[@koushikraja331]

One fan theory is that the scientist Leo Quintum is actually a version of Lex from the future. He ain't trying to change the timeline but he is trying to atone for his sins by helping superman in his adventures as much as he can.

I am so happy you checked this film out. The original comic is a masterpiece and celebration of what Superman means to the world. The panel of him saving a girl from committing the unthinkable meant a lot to me and helped me during a very dark time of my life. If you really want to explore more of the DC Universe, I would also highly recommend other Superman films, both animated and live-action, as well as the plethora of DC animated films.

[@johncruelty20]

[@Stockfish1511]

Superman is imo greatest superhero character of all time. He defines the idea of a superhero both in character and powers. By the way there is another gem called Superman vs the elite. Give it a try. Teaches alot about supermans character.

[@theironfox2756]

Lex Luthor has psychological disadvantages that prevent him from determining Kal El's identity.

[@AndyDandyMandy]

As far as the continuity goes, the All-Star comic book line was primarily designed to be outside of the main universe so the creators could have free reign.

[@monitor-mindtheover-void6712]

Grant Morrison wrote this masterpiece. If you want read what happened after All Star Superman, you'll have to read some comics, its not alot so don't worry. But you should read All Star Superman comic first because it had more content than the movie. If want to know what happens after this story just ask me the reading order, I'll be very happy to help out.

[@SaintJermania]

The comic is beautiful, it's a throwback to the really out there Silver Age Superman, which is the best Superman.

[@grimrobin696]

This might sound out of left field, but I would really recommend watching the Iron Giant, don't want to spoil it just in case but even though he isn't a character in it, superman is still important to someone in that movie, would also recommend Superman vs The Elite, favorite superman movie ever

[@bigboychris446]

Gotta do Superman Vs The Elite next!! It’s so good!!!

[@goddamnbatman3333]

"In the end, I saw Superman not as a superhero or even a science fiction character, but as a story of Everyman. We’re all Superman in our own adventures. We have our own Fortresses of Solitude we retreat to, with our own special collections of valued stuff, our own super-pets, our own “Bottle Cities” that we feel guilty for neglecting. We have our own peers and rivals and bizarre emotional or moral tangles to deal with. I felt I’d really grasped the concept when I saw him as Everyman, or rather as the dreamself of Everyman. That “S” is the radiant emblem of divinity we reveal when we rip off our stuffy shirts, our social masks, our neuroses, our constructed selves, and become who we truly are. Batman is obviously much cooler, but that’s because he’s a very energetic and adolescent fantasy character: a handsome billionaire playboy in black leather with a butler at this beck and call, better cars and gadgetry than James Bond, a horde of fetish femme fatales baying around his heels and no boss. That guy’s Superman day and night. Superman grew up baling hay on a farm. He goes to work, for a boss, in an office. He pines after a hard-working gal. Only when he tears off his shirt does that heroic, ideal inner self come to life. That’s actually a much more adult fantasy than the one Batman’s peddling but it also makes Superman a little harder to sell. He’s much more of a working class superhero. American writers often say they find it difficult to write Superman. They say he’s too powerful; you can’t give him problems. But Superman is a metaphor. For me, Superman has the same problems we do, but on a Paul Bunyan scale. If Superman walks the dog, he walks it around the asteroid belt because it can fly in space. When Superman’s relatives visit, they come from the 31st century and bring some hellish monster conqueror from the future. But it’s still a story about your relatives visiting." - Grant Morrison (Author of All-Star Superman)

[@zebbailey1727]

Bruce Timm loves Frank Quietly's art style and Grant Morrison's story for All-star Superman, he wanted the film's art style to be closer to Frank Quietly's art and Dwayne Mcduffie who wrote the film was a big fan of the comic, but sadly he died before the film released and he and Bruce Timm were good friends. Bruce Timm would say "when I'm in the writing room with everyone, I would always want to hear what Dwayne wanted to write"

[@OXO1952]

As a comic reader in his 30s who has loved Superman since around the age of 6, you get this character SOO well. The best stories are not about his powers but his ❤️. If you want an extra comic recommendation that deals with Superman passing and what that means to others, read “The Death of Superman” from the early 1990s. Technically a trilogy of stories (Death of Superman, Funeral for a Friend, and Reign of the Supermen), it has been collected in trade paperback form multiple times over the years. This saga was also adapted fairly accurately into two animated films: The Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen. Anyway, so good to see someone (possibly) around my age non-ironically liking Superman. Can’t wait until you reach stuff like the Justice League or even Batman Beyond in your DCAU watch through. Keep going:)

[@passarovoador6662]

If i remember, Lex Luthor once created Superman copys to (like training dummys) to fight and beat the shit out of him, and when he would beat the "Superman" He would say "Who's your daddy now?" So yeah, IN A WAY he's kinda in love with him

There is nothing you said that wouldn’t be an echo of my feelings on Superman. In terms of stuff to check out for stories, For the Man Who Has Everything, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? and Man of Steel (yes, all four volumes) are a good diversity of stories. And as I always feel and think regarding Superman, whenever I feel sad, lonely, depressed or discouraged, he’s the reminder to look… up in the sky.

One of my favorite lines from Superman is from the animated series: "In the end, the world doesn't need a Superman, just a good one." With all his power, he values a good heart above all else.

[@thebiggreenragemonster]

I'm fan of All-star superman. that was my obsession of the comic book, so Took the inspiration of my cosplay as Superman. when some people say that he's cape is covering his shoulders and some them they actually hated the red cape. 1 thing like about All-star Superman "Spit curl" like Superman have the perfect shaped S curl and hair features did just fall off and took me hours, minutes to that. and that's pretty easy. 2 thing don't like about All-star Superman " I don't like reading all issues" like there some 12 issues in All-star superman and that wasn't fair enough, so I read the deluxe edition instead.

[@ziadusama755]

[@Aurich88]

What I love about All-Star Superman is that he solves a lot of the problems without violence. He even got through to Luthor in the end.

[@pullcarsmelly8051]

Grant Morrison wanted a death of superman worthy of the character. He created a "twelve labors" scenario in which each issue of the series has superman tackle a different labor/obstacle. In the end, superman's final labor is his greatest. He redeems an irredeemable man... And with no punches being thrown, but by simply sharing of himself and allowing luthor to see the world thru his eyes. That was his last labor.

[@jeffreyeash9720]

Superman is such a character that he can fit in almost any situation this was an Elseworlds story. The big single fact is he was raised by caring loving parents that is why he has the compassion he has welcome to the world of Superman

[@klunk279]

There is a sort of sequel to this called "dc one million #4" where see this superman again

[@DanielBeadle511]

Probably one of the best, if not the best Superman story, though not necessarily the best starting point, since it was written to be the final Superman adventure. And (original author) Grant Morrison loves drawing on every bit of continuity they can, so a first time reader/viewer will inevitably miss a lot of the references and homages. And no, Lois wasn't in denial at the end. There's a companion piece to this arc, also written by Morrison, that partially takes place thousands of years in the future called DC One Million. If you're looking to read quality Superman stories from his earliest days, I suggest Birthright for a great origin story, and Superman For All Seasons for a heartfelt take on the years that followed. ✌

Thanks for the reaction. It’s so fascinating to see someone discovering Superman for the first time. Don’t worry too much about canon. At this point Superman is like King Arthur, there really isn’t a canon so much as a mythos of recurring characters, concepts and themes that different creators reinterpret & remix to tell interesting stories. I noticed several people recommending Superman Vs The Elite. I wholeheartedly agree and would also recommend Superman: The Man of Tomorrow, which focuses on Clark as an immigrant facing Xenophobia while trying to come to terms with his heritage.

I love this movie! The comic is still better, but that doesn’t take away how good this movie is. I tell people that say “Superman is boring and overpowered” to read or watch All-Star Superman. Grant Morrison’s best work on the character and Frank Quietly’s fabulous art make the story iconic. Morrison pulls some weird deep cuts in comics and makes the story more ethereal than literal, but they hit their Strive with the story. I also want to give a shout-out to Dwane Mcduffie, the writer of the movie who passed shortly after the movie came out. Mcduffie was very influential in DC comics withe creating the Milestone Characters and working on DC animated projects.

Being Quantum Locked at the heart of the Sun could be construed as Death. But Superman never really dies. 😊
