Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Animation has a lot of benefits over traditional live-action filmmaking when it comes to comic book movie adaptations, as clearly demonstrated by the different films that adapt the same stories and characters.

Director Bob Persichetti , Peter Ramsey Release Date December 14, 2018 Cast Jake Johnson , Kimiko Glenn , Hailee Steinfeld , Liev Schreiber , Luna Lauren Velez , Nicolas Cage , Lily Tomlin , Mahershala Ali , John Mulaney , Shameik Moore , Brian Tyree Henry Runtime 117 minutes ter, with more three-dimensional characters that don't over-rely on pre-existing meta-knowledge of the other Spider-Man films.

Luckily, the animated arm of DC's film wing produced a far better adaptation of The Death of Superman years earlier, with the film of the same name. Giving Superman's death the sense of dread and importance it deserved while making Doomsday feel incredibly threatening, The Death of Superman isn't just one of the best Superman animated films, but one of the best Superman films, period.

The duology does Batman's battle with Superman better than Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice while also presenting a version of an older, more bitter Bruce Wayne in a way that made more sense than The Dark Knight Rises. The straightforward re-telling of Frank Miller's comic also pulls no punches with its tone or animation, featuring bloody battles that prove animation is a medium capable of telling adult stories.

2010's Planet Hulk was able to do its eponymous comic storyline justice, telling the story of a Hulk who is exiled from Earth by the Illuminati only to rise through the gladitorial ranks of an alien planet as a conqueror. The film had the benefit of being the seventh installment of the Marvel Features animated film series, making it all the more satisfying to see pre-existing versions of Marvel characters facing Hulk's wrath.
