The Death and Return of Superman is a short film released in 2012 on YouTube, by Chronicle writer Max Landis.[1][2][3][4] The film, as its title implies, is a monologue about "The Death and Return of Superman" storyline from DC Comics over parody-like sketches.[5][6][7][8]
Morgan Krantz played the role of Superman and Elden Henson played Doomsday, and the film also features performances by Elijah Wood (Hank Henshaw), Mandy Moore (Lois Lane), Jimmi Simpson (Bertron), Chris Hardwick, Barats and Bereta, and Zach Cregger (Guy Gardner), among others.[9][10][11] Ron Howard makes a cameo appearance as Max's son, and Simon Pegg appears as John Landis. Landis had done this style of video before in his web series Cooking With Comics,[12] as well as his "Vague Recollections of Watchmen" and "Drunk Comic Book History: The Robins". The film was produced by Bryan Basham, creator of COPS: Skyrim.
