Line 38:
The animated movie is more or less the same as the comics arc (especially the death sequence) but with the exclusion of the Justice League and the Superman wannabes (except for an (adult) clone), probably to make the story simpler (or for licensing reasons.)
Prior to the ''Superman: Doomsday'' movie, the ''[[Justice League]]'' animated series episode "Hereafter" did an homage to this story as well, in which Superman is (apparently) disintegrated by one of Toyman's weapons. The Man of Steel is mourned and buried (symbolically, they had no body to inter) by the other heroes, the people of Metropolis, and [[Antagonist in Mourning|even Lex Luthor]]. Then the episode takes a turn for the bizarre when [[Nineties Anti
Doomsday also showed up in this series, in the episodes "A Better World" and "The Doomsday Sanction", but was revealed to be an {{spoiler|altered clone of Superman}} and doesn't get to kill Superman.
Line 54:
* [[The Hero Dies]]: One of the most iconic examples ever.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: How Supes goes out.
* [[I Am Not Left
* [[Legacy Hero]]: Superman gets four of them.
* [[Mutual Kill]]: Supes and Doomsday
* [[Nineties Anti
* [[Red Skies Crossover]]: The arc affected everyone on The [[DC Universe]]'s Earth, seeing as how their [[Big Good]] had just been killed. It got a nod in the lead-up to the [[Batman (Franchise)|Batman]] arc ''[[Knightfall]]''.
* [[Younger and Hipper]]: [[Superboy]] is a pastiche of this type of trend.
