[edit] Superman: Doomsday

"As he explained in an interview to Newsarama... But it was be simplified ... In a trailer that was unofficially on April 2007 and removed days after ... Lois & Clark will have a relationship but unknown if ... its believed that Supergirl won't appear neither"

This section needs to be cleaned up badly. several sentences are poorly phrased to the point that i wonder if the section was typed up by a retarded third grader. the only thing i changed about the above paragraph (which currently appears on this page) was that i deleted several lines of text that seemed to be passable (no need to have the whole paragraph here, just some examples of why the section needs to be re-written).68.255.230.238 17:07, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Actual Dates

I changed the dates of the original "Death of Superman" arc from their cover dates (Dec '92 to Jan '93) to their actual dates, which were in October-November 1992. It's well known in comics (as well as most periodicals) that the date on the mag is a "stock until" date, not when it actually comes out. Superman 75 actually had a mass-market release date of November 18, 1992--though it came out one day earlier, November 17, in the Direct Market.

By the same conventions, comic are listed by the "cover date" not the "shelf date" which can flucuate. - J Greb (talk) 01:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Pallborne"?

The word's mentioned in the JL adaptation section. I've googled it and looked it up and I'm pretty sure it's not a word. Imput?

Is that anything like pallbearing, as in to transport a dead guy?

[edit] Man of low-integrity Steel

What the frag is this about? "Despite his weakened state, he quickly joined the other Supermen in attacking Coast City." Superman JOINED Cyborg Supes in destroying Coast City?!

[edit] Infinite Crisis

An issue of the recent infinite crisis seems to have retconned superman's death out of continuity

If someone can prove it, it'd be worth a mention. Either way though, the Death of Superman is still a milestone in Superman's history.

[edit] Best Seller?

The TV adds for Superman: Doomsday claim that the Death of Superman is "the best selling graphic novel of all time." However, I can't seem to find any independent confirmation of this claim. Anyone able to confirm or deny this claim? Reyemile 02:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I did some extensive research online and could find nothing but the advertising campaign for Superman/Doomsday DVD (or those directly quoting said ads) making this claim. There is no sources to verify this claim and I think it should be have some citation or be removed. --MerinTB (talk) 01:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Image:Superman vs. Doomsday.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
