Well would you look at that!

I came to appreciate Andy Kubert by the end of the miniseries, but there definitely times I think faces or poses seem off.

Inspired by our friend, @Bar-El, I spent a large portion of my weekend watching animated Superman movies. (My family was out of town, so I had lots of free time.) So I’m going to attempt a ranking here (best to worst):
- All-Star Superman
- Superman Unbound
- The Death of Superman
- Superman vs. the Elite
- Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
- Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
- Reign of the Supermen
- Superman: Man of Tomorrow
- Superman: Red Son
I know there’s also Superman: Doomsday, but I didn’t get around to rewatching it, and I think I’ve pretty well replaced it with Death and Reign in my brain at this point. I’m pretty set on #1 and #9, but honestly I like all nine of these, and those middle slots are pretty flexible. I’m going with this order for today at least.
Anybody else want to attempt a ranking or name your favorite(s)?

I also need to rewatch Doomsday, it’s been too long to remember it well enough so I’m leaving it out of my ranking.
- All-Star
- Vs. the Elite
- Apocalypse
- Red Son
- Public Enemies
- Unbound
- Man of Tomorrow
- Death
- Reign
My rating criteria is based off #1 does it leave me feeling enlightened, #2 how often do I want to watch it, and #3 action quality, I like me some fights!

Well half of his animated movies has him “die” or “dead”! HALF! That’s ridiculous!

@Bar-El, well, I’d honestly have to rank them as the following:
-
All-Star (although sad)
-
Public Enemies
-
Apocalypse
-
Vs the Elite
-
Unbound
-
Red Son
-
Man of Tomorrow
-
Death
-
Reign
-
(Honorary Mention - Superman / Shazam - Return of Black Adam)
I’ve always had a soft spot for Public Enemies, and I love how Superman goes beast-mode in Apocalypse, and All-Star is more like a love-letter to the Man of Steel.

Ah nice list, I would wedge Sups/Shaz above Unbound in my list even though I love the comic even more the movie was really cool with the two of them teaming up!

And a great mood lifter after All Star.

I’ve shared this elsewhere, but it feels right for this thread too:
I started a Superman figure collection this year.
I had a couple of figures (General Zod I found for $10 years ago, a Solaris I commissioned in 2019, and a Todd McFarlane Superman):
…but that was the extent of it. I’d say the bug really hit me after I bought a custom Doomsday and got both the Alex Ross Toyman and the Animated Series version. That was in late December and early January of this year.
I’m a person who takes things to the extreme, so it hit me this morning how far I’ve come along in a relatively short time. Here’s the last picture I took, about a week ago:
And since that time, I’ve added
Steel:
Darkseid:
I’m repainting a Business Suit Lex Luthor:
And last night, I finished work on my first custom- Manchester Black:

1- Death of Superman & Reign of the Supermen
2- Superman: Man of Tomorrow
3- Superman Unbound
4- Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
5- All Star Superman
6- Superman Batman Public Enemies
7- Superman vs the Elite
8- Superman: Red Son
I like ‘em all, but if I had to rank ‘em, that would be it. The Death & Return two parter have to go together, in my eyes, and were one of my favorite Superman experiences on the screen. Red Son was a good movie. It just takes a long minute to adjust to seeing Supes in that garb.
