Death of Superman: The Animated Movie
I absolutely love the Warner Brothers/DC Comics animated series: they collectively represent some of the best-written superhero cartoons ever aired. Recently, producer Bruce Timm mentioned an upcoming full-length animated adaptation of the Death of Superman story arc from way back in 1993 (man, can you believe that that was all of 14 years ago?). The epic slugfest between Supes and Doomsday was a milestone in comics — it represented just how far a comics publisher was willing to go to push sales 
Even cooler — or maybe not cooler, I haven’t really made up my mind about it yet — Adam Baldwin (of Serenity/Firefly) is voicing Superman. Jayne-boy voiced Green Lantern in the JLA animated series, so I guess he’s not really a stranger to comics, but I sure hope he don’t tawk laik this gawddemmit.
Like most of the WB/DC movies, this is a direct-to-video release (scheduled for release on Sept 18), which simply means I’ll be able to grab it off of BitTorrent before it even arrives in Manila.
