Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As one of DC's flagship characters, Superman has had a wide variety of animated films, some of which present the Man of Steel better than others. Superman's live-action films may be well known, but his animated filmography presents some stories that can contend with the best of the hero's traditional cinema fare, if not surpass it.
12 Superman: Brainiac Attacks Failed To Eclipse The Animated Series Released In 2006 Close Despite more than a few surface-level similarities to the DCAU, including a similar art style and the returning vocal talents of Tim Daly as Superman himself, Superman: Brainiac Attacks is entirely removed from the lauded cartoon continuity.
10 Superman/Batman: Apocalypse Was A Disappointing Follow-Up Released In 2010 Close Continuing the events of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse further develops the relationship of DC's two most famous heroes with a healthy dose of Darkseid. Peppering Supergirl, Wonder Woman and Big Barda alongside the big two, the film is more of a crossover event than a standalone Superman film, as the grand cosmic stakes of Darkseid's threat are reiterated.
8 All-Star Superman Adapts One Of The Most Impactful Superman Stories Released In 2011 Close All-Star Superman PG Director Sam Liu Release Date February 22, 2011 Cast Christina Hendricks , Matthew Gray Gubler , Linda Cardellini , Edward Asner , Arnold Vosloo , Anthony LaPaglia Runtime 75 minutes Just like the comic, the story revolves around Superman's fate following a lethal dosage of solar radiation that drastically improves his powers at the cost of acting like a terminal disease.
The pairing of the naive Jon and the edgy Damian slowly gaining respect for one another is a dynamic that works, and the films' vision of Starro is nearly more menacing than James Gunn's depiction of the creature in The Suicide Squad.The CGI animation divided audiences on a matter of preference, and the tone of the film can be somewhat inconsistent, but neither element is too distracting to disrupt the efficacy of the core duo's arcs.
Yet the relationship between Superman and Lois Lane is given just as much weight as the monstrous Doomsday, the film not afraid to center the emotional fallout on Lois' complicated relationship with Clark Kent. In this version of events, the Kyrptonian's death actually feels like a tremendous absence opening up in the world. Having him go out attempting to save his worst enemy, Lex Luthor, only further proves the film's understanding of Superman's character.
