For fans of the "death of Superman" comics (a story arc universally praised as being one of the best in Superman's long history) this is a real treat with a lot of the dialogue lifted straight from the comic books. The voices actors are all excellent and, despite the comments of one previous reviewer, are actually American (the main principals are all US actors/actresses). It rattles along at a cracking pace and the action never flags. The only slight criticism I do have is that Lois's grief is hardly touched upon and this was handled with a lot more poignancy in the comic book. I wondered how they would describe the four different Supermen (in the Return of Superman section) but it was very well done indeed and not at all confusing. Lex Luthor's Australian accent was the only bit which wasn't performed very well and grated on the ear, but this small niggle aside, the acting was otherwise excellent. A most enjoyable way to spend 2 and a half hours! I only wish the CD had proper chapter/track headings. Definitely worth a look and I can recommend it highly!
