If you aren’t familiar with the source material, All-Star Superman was a twelve-issue comic book series that ran between 2005 and 2008. The premise was that Superman, while on a mission in the sun, is tricked by Lex Luthor into absorbing too much of the solar radiation that powers him, resulting in a slow breakdown and conversion of his cells into “solar-radio consciousness.” With only a year left to live, Superman creates a bucket list of ten accomplishments he wants to achieve before his demise, and sets out to fulfill them. Defeating an approaching planet of Bizarros, teaching Luthor a sense of humanity and giving Lois Lane superpowers for a day are just some of the highlights of The Man of Steel’s quest.
