ALL-STAR SUPERMAN Cover Art & Info
At the time covered by the panel of Batman: Under the Hood Red Comic-Con, I came across the announcement that Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s highly praised All-Star Superman story could become a full-length animation.

Hit the jump for my impressions brief press release, including what to expect on the home video release in terms of special features.
I loved the work of DC Universe Batman: Under the Hood Red, so I definitely look forward to seeing how it turned out. However, Morrison makes us feel for Superman, because little by little is dying and he knows it. Oh, and John DiMaggio becomes so.There are not many times when you feel for Superman in the comic world, man is the man of steel, after all, and no great villains out of Doomsday, Brainiac and Lex Luthor. I had some problems with comics, such as dialog boxes are sometimes confused and Section Bizzaro was a task to walk through, but the general narrative should find a nice home when animated.
