It's a big win for Superman fans, finally giving them the adaptation of this tale that they've long craved, and one that sacrifices neither the violence nor the humanity that offsets it.

It would be easy and cheap to say this is the best Superman movie in years; as a fan of the Zack Snyder movies, I can't and won't do that. But I will say it is probably the truest to Superman in years.

[The Death of Superman] film adaptation justifies its existence, making me want to see what gets remixed now and in the future while appreciating the things that have stayed the same.
