8 Times Superman Has Died Onscreen (& How Long It Lasted)
Superman is one of the most popular characters in the entire DC Universe, and the popular comic book "The Death of Superman" has served as inspiration for several projects throughout the years. In animation, live-action, and even video games, the story of Superman"s death has been a popular point of adaptation, featuring Doomsday or even bigger villains. While some series have adapted details loosely, including in the Justice League cartoon, where Superman did not actually die but was sent to the future, others have been much more faithful to the source material.
Superman"s darkest story has been made even heavier with the recent episodes of Superman and Lois. Following a clash with Doomsday, the show has focussed on the trauma of how this has affected others, and this follows a long line of adaptations that have done the same. Seeing this iconic storyline being adapted for a new series has been satisfying and shows how well this story can be told in different iterations throughout the years. While another adaptation of this story in the DCU is likely a ways off, there have been several excellent versions through the years.
8 Smallville Season 5, Episode 3 - "Hidden" (2005) Clark Is Resurrected Later The Same Episode Close Smallville was an incredible show that played fast and loose with the hero"s established continuity. However, the show"s story that focused on seeing Superman die was a complete departure from the comic story itself, and may not have even drawn inspiration from it. While Doomsday would later become a part of the series, it was actually due to Jor-El taking Clark"s powers away that the hero died in Smallville. Stripped of his abilities, Clark still attempted to be a hero and was shot in the process. He died from this wound.
Fortunately, Clark was revived at the Fortress of Solitude by his father in the body of Lionel Luthor later that same episode. This is a notable take on "The Death of Superman" story, especially when realizing that Doomsday would later appear in the series, played by Sam Witwer, and would fail to kill the hero. Instead, a different look at Superman"s death is provided in this excellent episode of the popular series.
