All-Star Superman Comic will be an Animated Movie


DC Entertainment is about to take one of their acclaimed story lines and make it an animated film... All-Star Superman.

Here's more:

"All-Star" is the 10th DC Comics story line to be turned into an original PG-13 movie by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video. The comic mini-series has won three Eisner Awards, two Harvey Awards and three Eagle Awards.

Written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Frank Quitely, the story begins with the Man of Steel (Denton) oversaturated by radiation during a rescue mission near the sun, accelerating the degeneration of his cells. Knowing that he has a limited time before he dies, Superman sets out on a journey that sees him revealing his secret to Lois Lane (Hendricks), giving Lex Luthor (LaPaglia) an epiphany on humanity and ensuring the safety of Earth for when he is gone.

Bruce Timm will be the executive producer and Dwayne McDuffie wrote the script. The film will be ready in the Spring.

I am looking forward to this - but why the constant rebooting of Superman?

Do they think they don't have it right yet?

Should be cool! I'm very interested to see if they keep the Quitely style of Superman!!

@Damien-It's not a reboot, it's an Elseworlds story. (An alternate universe) It's actually very, very good!! Hence, the making it into an animated movie I assume.

@Mecha-What movie is coming out this Tuesday??
