Doomed Planet.
Desperate Scientists.
Last Hope.
Kindly Couple.

The four panels that encapsulate Superman's origin and open the Grant Morrison All-Star Superman. And the same eight words serve to open the animated adaptation. Lex Luthor has a new plan to kill Superman and it looks like its working. Now, dieing from an overdose of solar radiation Superman speeds about putting his house in order. Until once again, its time for a climatic battle with Luthor...

While much had to be cut in the adaptation, the All-Star Superman animated film still retains much of what was important from the original. Including of course a brief moment of cross-dressing Jimmy Olsen...
