DC Comics and Warner Home Entertainment are working together to bring Superman to his greatest comic battle in Superman Doomsday on DVD.
Superman Doomsday is inspired by the best-selling graphic novel of all time, DC Comics’ The Death of Superman. When the intergalactic serial killer Doomsday is unearthed, Superman meets the creature head on in the battle to end all battles. Going punch for punch, Superman finally ends the threat of Doomsday as he throws one last punch and collapses forever – making the ultimate sacrifice to save Metropolis and all those he once loved.

it will be written by Bruce Timm, who directed several episodes of the Superman animated series, Batman animated series, and also the uber awesome Batman Mask Of The Phantasm.
Co-writing will be Duane Capizzi, who has written several epsidoes of Darkwing Duck, Men In Black, Extreme Ghostbusters, The Real Ghostbusters, and (ugg) The Batman.
no director has been named yet, but Bruce Timm is also the art director of Superman Doomsday and worked in the art departments for the Batman Beyond Movies, Justice League and Batman the animated series.
If Timm directs or if they get any of the great directors from the Batman or Superman animated series' like Paul Dini or Curt Geda this should another excellent DC animated film
plus its rated PG-13 and in a March 3rd IGN article, Timm has promised us blood and violence
