trivia section
I removed the trivia section, since it only mentioned that Kevin Smith has a cameo, and that info appears earlier in the article anyway. Umbralcorax 15:55, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

removed:
I removed the following:

The absence of Superboy might be due to the lawsuit between the The Siegels and Time Warner, Although Director Bruce Timm did not mention this.

It seemed like OR to me, imho we'd need something to corroborate this. Umbralcorax 07:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Little Mistake
The article says that Superman Returns was released the summer previous to Superman: Doomsday. This would mean that Superman Returns was released in summer 2007. It was released in 2006. Needs to be changed. --Bentonia School 16:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Ratings section
This section has horrible grammar and is rather pointless. filmratings.com lists this film as "rated PG-13 for action violence". Isn't that all we need to know? Rpachico 04:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If someone could find some sources as to why they made the film more adult--making it receive the PG-13 rating--then I could see a point, given the fact that before then all the Superman animated films were PG. If not, then it's original research to imply there was meaning.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  04:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Comparison to the Comic
Please stop adding info that compares "dark superman" to elements of superboy/eradicator/cyborg in the Reign of the Supermen storyline. Unless someone can provide a source stating that was the intent of the writers, it's original research. Thanks. CPitt76 00:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

This Wikipedia article mentions Wonder Woman. During the Death of Superman storyline, Wonder Woman was marooned in space. She never had a chance to fight Doomsday during this story arc. She managed to fight the resurrected Doomsday years after the storyline had concluded and Superman had returned to full power. Doomsday did tear through the Justice League, but Wonder Woman was not part of it. Thanks. - Trevz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.1.97.113 (talk) 18:36, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

It also says that Batman and the Justice League were omitted from the movie. Batman wasn't in the death of superman comic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.139.1.68 (talk) 16:51, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

DC movies are not connected
Having Justice Leauge in the followed by is wrong. There is no connection to any of the films outside of the being DC. By this logic Constantine is connected to V for Vendetta or Batman Begins.76.241.88.186 (talk) 05:55, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * However, they are connected within the same series of films, if not by continuity. For the article's sake, it's best to show the readers which films were released in progression of the series since there is no continuity between them. Since there is already a page for the line of the films which explains that they are standalone, there's no need to show continuity progression. --CmdrClow (talk) 01:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * That's not how the proceeded by and followed by are used. Like I said above Constantine & V for Vendetta are both made by Warner Bros. and are DC Vertigo movies, they are not connected.99.163.157.119 (talk) 01:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, see Template:Infobox_Film.99.163.157.119 (talk) 01:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The template says use these for a series of movies. Because the producers have called these a series, EVEN THOUGH THEY AREN'T CONNECTED BY CONTINUITY, they are still within the same franchise. --CmdrClow (talk) 08:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

'Sexual Innuendo'
I removed this sentence from the'Ratings' section ("Sexual innuendo is present (Lois kissing Luthor; Clark emerging from a bathroom wearing only a towel) but mild; this may have also contributed to the rating.") because not only is what it's describing not sexual innuendo, but scenes like this have appeared in plenty of films which recieved less than a PG-13 rating. Now, if there was a super-sized banana or someting conveniently placed in the bathroom for when he got out of the shower, that would be a different story... ;-) 86.147.99.81 (talk) 19:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

'Evil' clone?
Calling the clone evil is a bit harsh. OK, he took the law in his own hands and killed some bad guys, but except for Superman, he didn't try to harm anyone good. I'd say he's more misguided than evil. 65.43.96.3 (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Plot section
Hi there, the plot section is far too long at 1141 words. The ideal length is 400–700 words per WP:FILMPLOT. I've never seen this movie, which makes it risky for me to start cutting. If any of you who are more familiar with the storyline can cut the cruft, that'd be great. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:23, 29 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I've recently watched the film, so I took a stab at cutting down the word count. Right now it's at about 980 words, I'm not quite sure on how to cut it even more. --Rfl0216 (talk) 19:19, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
