Let’s take a quick look to see what’s arrived at the Geek Compound.

All-Star Superman

Promo copy:

Fueled by hatred and jealousy, Lex Luthor masterminds an elaborate plot to kill the Man of Steel – and it works. Poisoned by solar radiation, Superman is dying. With weeks to live, he fulfills his life’s dreams – especially revealing his true identity to Lois Lane – until Luthor proclaims his ultimate plan to control the world with no alien hero to stop him. Powers fading, Superman engages in a spectacular deadly battle with Luthor that could truly trigger the end of Earth’s Greatest Protector. This startling and gripping DC Universe Animated Original Movie stars the voice talents of James Denton, Anthony LaPaglia, Christina Hendricks and Ed Asner.

Frequent readers of my pixels know how much I love the original All Star Superman comics, calling it "quite possibly the finest Superman tale of all time." My biggest complaint about this DVD/Blu Ray set is that NONE of the special features are available on the DVD disc. Sucks for those of us that don’t have a Blu Ray.
