Superman Doomsday (2007)

I've watched Superman Doomsday two times with my youngest son and it has held our attention with adequate animation and a somewhat compelling storyline. My son asks to skip the mining scenes when the Doomsday creature is unleashed because of the rampant mayhem -- which continues against humans until its final clash with Superman. The story's attraction is Superman's battle-to-the-death with the Doomsday creature, who pummels Superman to within an inch of his life -- even causing him to cough up blood, which spatters many feet to paint Lois Lane's cheek -- and then an inch further. (No spoilers here: It's been common knowledge since 1993 that, in this storyline, Superman dies.) You can't keep a good (not to mention super) man down though and the mysteries of Kal-El's Kryptonian biology receive assistance from his Fortress of Solitude's sentient robot companion. Lex Luthor throws another fly in the ointment, however, by means of his genetic megalab and Kal-El must face another nemesis with Kryptonian genes. Conservative families should be aware that several towel-wrapped and kissing scenes with Lois and Superman in each other's homes are part of the romantic subplot that has "gotten more intimate" for "several months now" and leads Lois to pry into learning Superman's true identity. 3 stars.
