All-star Superman

That looks fucking awesome. I must watch it now.

I am watching it. It's damn good, if a bit disjointed.

I love their take on why Lex HATES Superman.

Great, but a tad depressing.

It's an abbreviated version of Warren Ellis' "All-Star Superman" comic series. Condensing it all down made it a little disjointed, but it's a great adaptation nonetheless.

What's particularly sad is that the guy who adapted it, Dwayne McDuffie (one of my favorite DC writers), just passed away really unexpectedly the other week. Aside from adapting All-Star Superman into a movie, McDuffie was one of the producers, lead story-editor and one of the writers of the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series, as well as the show-runner for 'Static Shock' (which was based on the character, Virgil "Static" Hawkins, who he had created for his own Milestone Comics).

He celebrated his 49th birthday on February 20th, then went into the hospital the next day for heart surgery, and died of complications from the procedure. All-Star Superman came out on the 22nd.

I must get the comic.

Of course, by "Warren Ellis", you mean "Grant Morrison", right?[/nitpick]

...I have no idea, other than lack of sleep, why I wrote Warren Ellis when writing that post. I swear it said Grant Morrison in my head!

...and I now accidentally replied twice ten minutes apart, not realizing I already had. No sleep make Alex wonky!

I don't care who wrote it, I just know that they finally took advantage of superman's incredible power by actually making him do incredible things without it seeming...stupid.
