The Death and Return of Superman (film)

The Death and Return of Superman is a short film 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 in the film. The film also featured Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, Simon Pegg, Chris Hardwick, Barats and Bereta, and Zach Cregger, among others.[9][10][11]Ron Howard makes a cameo appearance as Max's son. 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.
