Superman leads everyone in the universe to a better place and ideology. He's the last son of Earth, and of the entire universe. The sun is about the explode, alongside the universe and Superman is in peace. He dies sitting leg crossed and reflecting on the last hundred million years, until he finally walks into the sun

He wakes up

Everyone he's ever helped, cared for, or befriended is around him clapping

> "Bravo" "Good job Supes" "Well done, faithful servant"

He did it, he saved everyone he ever could

any of those but getting married and retiring I am a fan of

How come?

One Million is his best ending and you're a faggot if you disagree

Just personal preference. I like the never-ending battle, Superman always fighting the good fight. I understand it can be an acceptable ending to his story but it never worked for me.

This kino.

Terrible use of the Superman narrative and the abrahamic narrative
>Hurdurr I kill everyone cuz I'm tired

2 or 4. Maybe 2 the most, Supes deserves a happy ending.

I see, what about if someone becomes his successor?

Everyone sucks in some way except me.

Fuck off Bendis!

Superman fights his greatest foe yet, de powered he is about to die when the people of earth inspired by his heroism fight back proving that while he might not be around forever he has inspired people to fight for justice.

The same way it did the last three to five times, in a reboot event that replaces him with a younger version of himself.

In corporate-owned franchise fiction, time is a wheel.

by being retconned by another verison of himself

Superman ends when the Empty Hand closes and retreats. When there are no eyes any longer on the page and when he is forgotten. The Zeitgeist having run its course and the symbol and pageantry is abandoned for more profitable endeavors.

Will it because the concept of the Super Hero is finally left to languish and die? Will it be because the things Superman stands for cease being the American way and his iconography and memory are stripped clean from a culture that would shun the refugee from a distant star? Or will he just be cheapened by the rotation and cycle, until he moves neither page nor celluloid and be pushed back as new faces and stories are allowed to cede the day?

Ignoring the grim reality of a greed crazed corporation, separate Superman for a bit from them, how would you like him to end?

much more acceptable

He dies when the sun goes out after sending a frozen fetus of his and lois child or jon Kent's child (supes' grand child) into the vast emptiness of space in a kryptonian space craft

All of this would be an elseworld obviously, DC will never kill superman again.

>End
HAVE NO FEARS
WE'VE GOT STORIES FOR YEARS

The company is so broke that decides to sell all their properties to different people in a auction. DC make the final crisis, the entire universe ends with everyone being separated in different dimensions, the company that buy Superman can't make the money back and decide to end his story. He has a last fight against Luthor and Darkseid, in the end he dies with Darkseid and Luthor lives but with in jail, depressed and with no real reason to live

>How will Superman's story end, Yea Forums?
It won't, we'll still be getting superman stories in 2200

All of these, except the Lex killing Superman part, are just part of the same type of story.

Go full Elliot S! Maggin and Jim Sterenko, have Superman’s Legacy help humanity transcend and become Super-Men themselves. As a result, humanity has now moved beyond Earth and reached for the stars.

Basically, Superman becomes the reason Star Trek exists.

As if the head of those companies would care about giving Superman closure once he stops being their cash cow. No one would be able to find good writers to properly end him and he will end up forgotten disgracefully.

If he actually reaches public domain it ends however you want. Or begins really.

Im curious to see what kind of stories a non editorial run, cyclic, status quo Superman would have. Hopefully more All-Star tier ones.

Prime One Million > all

Is there a bluray rip of all the Fleischer episodes?

Choosing to give up his power and live and die as a human is an incredible thing for a god. It's the total opposite of what a person like Luthor would do, and so it'd be a fitting end for the character after his work is done.

Attached: whttmot-final-page.jpg (604x589, 295K)

That's the thing user, Superman's work can never be done because there will always be bad guys. Retiring doesn't make sense unless the world (and the galaxy, universe, multiverse, so on..) is in safe hands.

What kind of irresponsible chuclefucks leave fucking coals in reach of their baby? I'm calling child services

On one hand the DC One Million future is fucking cool, and the ending was really touching. On the other hand, to get there Clark will have to lose Lois and suffer for thousands of years.

It also doesn't fit Superman, why is he playing god? I thought that death of his loved ones is something he'd have to come to terms with like with his pa. But I guess not.

No, why not watch it on youtube

It ends with reader apathy after they hire a loser from Marvel to ruin the entire Superman family.

>It also doesn't fit Superman, why is he playing god?
He is one whether he likes it or not and the passage of time only made it more obvious. Might as well acknowledge it.

Why pick and choose? If he is gonna resurrect Lois might as well play god and make the whole universe a utopia by himself.

If you want a definitive end to Superman it has to include humanity being able to fend for itself, his job is finally done and his example is set.

I dont think his example will ever be set when the only people he attracts are tourists/fanatics and children. Children who will grow up to be jaded and tourists who just want a selfie. NO ONE in 2019 is trying at all to follow his example, maybe cause of status quo but I think LEX of all people has done more to follow in his example than every useless fucking civilian in Metropolis.

When he becomes public domain in 2035.

Why can I not find this when Googling?

DC is suddenly shut down by Time Warner.

Will Lex succeed in initiating instrumentality

What does that one do?

Removes his powers forever.

No, that would just mean you'd get to write the end of 1930's Superman, DC would still have a lot of Superman's additional backstory and retcons in lock for a while.

>Became Superman Prime 1 mil
That one's the best one

I also liked Elliot S. Maggin's idea where eventually Luthor does reform and he and Superman basically travel and explore the universe for a few decades after Lois passed on.

Steranko's is also another good one.

That story was so stupid it keeps making me laugh every time I read it.

Pretending that they won't do any extensions, when Superman goes PD in 2034 you only get the first year of Superman stories and anything that was already PD like the first few years of the comic strips and the Fleischer cartoons. A little more patience (and hoping that copyrights don't get extended even more) and you can add more characters in like Luthor, Perry, and some others.

Darkseid launches a grand assault on Earth and is repelled by Superman in a climactic final battle in which he is forced to fly both of them directly into Earth's sun, where they are vaporized in a brilliant flash of light. On the ground, the surviving heroes and the rest of humanity mourn the loss of their adopted protector. The final war took a massive toll on the planet; with her core cracked her sun forced into the premature evolution of a red giant, and bereft of their guardian, Earth's disparate peoples are forced to find a way to save themselves from this final crisis by ascending past their petty grievances, their home, and the limits of their humanity.

Unbeknownst to all but his closest confidantes Superman survived his last titanic fight, but was severely weakened and forced into retirement by the reddening of the sun, which dulls his powers and ages him as a mortal would. He lives just long enough to see his people achieve their full potential and take the first steps into the stars to secure their own future in his memory. A smile on his face, the Man of Steel quietly passes away in the company of friends and family. As the red sun sets on a dying earth, streaks of light follow the first pioneers of this new race of super-men as they set out into the unknown.

I kinda liked that image where he grew old but lived long enough to see legionaire heroes fill the sky.

Also Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow ending with him going powerless and just living a normal married life is solid.

>I kinda liked that image where he grew old but lived long enough to see legionaire heroes fill the sky.

That was from the JSA story Johns did, where KC Superman ended up on Earth-0. I think he and Alex Ross decided to show what happened after the end of Kingdom Come.

I mean he ressurected Krypton at the end didn't he? What you're saying is what was implied will happen.

>Also Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow ending with him going powerless and just living a normal married life is solid.
I thought it was pretty terrible."Don't strive for anything greater, just settle for the most mundane outcome possible" is never a good ending.

I always thought this one was pretty good.

Superman Prime One Million is lame as fuck. Superman is a Man, making him an ageless god is stupid. I especially hate in All Star Superman where Superman has basically become a worshipped God who willingly wears all gold and fucking gives HIMSELF a medal for being super cool.

fuck moore
and fuck this story

He's not a man, though - he is an alien brought up as a man. Underneath Clark the human there's Kal-El the Kryptonian and that is never going to change.

I always lmao when I see this story. Frank Miller, in the same year if I recall correctly, had an old Batman come out of his retirement, battle corruption, and return to his former glory to a better future.

Alan Moore, on the other hand, had a young Superman have certain key characters in his life die, made Superman kill, strip his own powers as a result, and retired in disgrace.

Out of all the goodbyes and bookends, this one is one of the worst.

You people really are fucking stupid.

Superman will never end as long as people write him. He's a slave to the stories. He will still be here 500 years from now.

superman commits superpower suicide. Why is this apart of the top Superman stories?

Just like Robin Hood with movies that nobody watch and becoming a anime husbando then, or like king Arthur with the same but becoming a waifu?

THANK YOU ALL

Superman Prime because its a good Christ analogue with beating you over the head with symbolism like with Zack Snyder doing the whole "muh cross" shit.

I know its Batman but it pretty much applies to all superheroes.

Attached: IMG_5027.jpg (665x674, 122K)

Superman is at the Watchtower/Hall of Justice surrounded by other heroes, spending some time at a get together for his birthday. After spending a bit of time, he has to leave because he can hear Lois and the kids setting up a surprise party for him. They know he won't be surprised but they do it anyway. Superman goes home, has a relaxing evening with the family. Before bed, he notices Lois working on a story about Superman. Superman asks if she's tired of Superman yet, Lois scoffs and tells Clark that people are always going to want to read more Superman stories. The end.

By peacefully entering into the public domain, god willing.

Superman enters DB and ones shots Goku

Yeah Morrison brought up that point in Supergids I think, about how that was part of the reason Batman surplanted Supes as the most popular DC hero

I think Chris Sims brought it up in one of his columns too.

This the end of Batman Inc? It’s interesting to me how downright cynical that story feels. Morrison, a guy was usually very upbeat and positive about superheroes, ends his run by turning the defining line of his run “Batman and Robin will never die!” into something very depressing. Batman will never die, Bruce Wayne will never achieve any sort of meaningful victory, and he will always be the sad little boy crying over mommy and daddy. Felt weird as the ending to Morrison’s Batman Epic.

It makes sense in a way. Batman’s ending story is a triumphant celebration of his badassery, ending his story with a victory over the Joker his most hated enemy and over Superman his primer rival. Superman’s story ends with all his loved ones and friends fucking dead, he didn’t even get to beat Luthor and Brainiac really, and he basically kills the Superman identity and mocks it for being full of shit essentially. But then again Batman has always been Superman’s shadow. He got to where he was by tearing Superman down, and it’s basically all Batman writers know how to do these days. Supes meanwhile feels “bigger” than Bats, even though he’s far less popular. It’s why there are so many Superman clones but not a lot of Batman clones.

Defeats the Great Evil Beast

Transhuman ending: Humans progress to such a point that they all become Kryptonian in their power. In an idealic future where everyone is a Superman, the last son of Krypton can finally get some sleep.

Yeah, but he’s an example for mankind, not the solution.

He's both, to be honest. He can be an example precisely because he serves as a solution (at least partial) to many things.

He does the All Star ending, which leads to 1 million, which ends with him living until the end of the universe

Not only that, but the original Superman never got that luxury either. His ending was crammed in the bloated COIE that had him essentially escape to “heaven” after everyone he knew died, until that was supplanted in Infinite Crisis with an even worse story where Clark just gets fucking murdered by SBP.

Imagine that. The original Superman. The one who started it all. Got fucking murdered in cold blood in a bloated crossover story that isn’t even definitive in its retcons.

Pretty based

That's why I don't really like Infinite Crisis. And that still hasn't really been fixed yet.

Man as iconic as Curt Swan's superman is John Byrne was right in that he was absolutely plain and unsurprising. The door that can end Superman's powers is a simple door with a regular keep out sign posted on.

How did Clark collect Golden Kryptonite anyways?

I imagine he has an anti-radiation suit.

Its just called a radiation suit

I’m gonna pretty sure that there is a Pre-Crisis Issue where Superman shows Batman a machine that can deliberately reverse the effects of Golden Kryptonite. If so, an one of our anons here make a short comic of him coming back using that machine and telling Alan Moore to fuck off?

Nigger

Yeah but I don’t like the Golden Statue look. Not the “living in the sun” part. I rather have him become a supreme god that retires to a distant planet with his wife where he can live eternity as a farmer.

Nah that’s a cop out.

Isn't it like 3 am in Japan, Anno?

Because it’s Alan Moore and even when he admits his story is shit —ala the Killing Joke— people will still suck on his hairy ballsack.

this + 1 million is perfect

I also liked Joe Keatinge's Adventures of Superman story

What?

OMEDETO

>The sun is about the explode, alongside the universe
are you an actual retarded person
The sun will explode so much earlier than the death of the universe that the two events are incomparable.

Suspension of disbelief

Yeah, nah, the sun exploding will happen closer to the birth of the universe than the death. Like I said, literally incomparable.

As true as that is, suspension of disbelief

Yeah, nah, that's l i t e r a l l y incomparable. This isn't like the ending of Bill and Ted 1 where just having the thought of how after they win, they can go back in time to help themselves win, which is the only way the won. This isn't aether in Treasure Planet levels of suspence, this is just a complete and utter failing of how anything ever works, worked, or will continue to work.

What's the in-universe explanation for why sperm donation is not an option for Clark?

Man of Steel, Woman of Tissue

So I'm certain that yoU know about Science, and all that Physics stuff, yEt ya gotta uNderstand that fiction Shows multIple alternatIves Of thiNgs happening fOr diFferent resons.

That ending was jank, Mark Waid is a decent writer but Superman settling down with Wonder Women and giving up the good fight after years of not superheroing is bullshit

I liked the ending but I didn’t like Clark forsaking the Earth in the beginning. Tbh that always felt like Ashit.

That wasn’t just Mark Waid. Alex Ross came up with the story, Mark Waid was brought in to help. I find him retiring to let the next generation of heroes take his place to be endearing. He was the one who made the kino here. ()

There is none. Sperm donation is perfectly doable in regards to Superman. Especially manually

DC has never thought the sun would last to the end of the universe. Thats the fanfic from the guy you replied too, in Action comics 1000, Superman watches the sun die way before the universe ends, in strange visitor, the sun doesnt even exist anymore as heat death took over the universe.

I forget where, but they decided it was an incompatibility of genomes/species (in the same way that a guy can't fuck a female horse or a female ape/monkey and get them pregnant, just as a dog couldn't do it to an opposite sex cat) but a horse could do it to a donkey, say.

This was just someone's fan fic. You might as well buy and believe every word in pic related

Logically speaking, he's quite literally a different species. He should be unable to breed with humans and even if he did, the offspring would be sterile.
Of course, whether the writers care about it or not is a different issue.

>This was just someone's fan fic. You might as well buy and believe every word in pic related
It's been brought up in several continuities, to be fair.

>Superman travels in a space ship to an almost uninhabited planet with a red star

>he finally found a way to return Kandor to its former glory, and decided place it in a similar planet as Krypton

>as Superman returns Kandor to its former glory, he bids its people farewell.

>the people of Kandor look at him flying away, thankful for the better tomorrow es given them

>time passes, and another ship comes through the atmosphere

>it’s Kara Zor-El, who wanted to visit her family after a long while

>time passes again, and they never see Superman again. Some wonder if he’s even alive any more

>it’s the 30th Century, Kandor has evolved and merged with the locals of the planet and given birth to Daxam

>one of their own has returned from his heroics, a great pride to all the planet. They hold a celebration in his honor.

>when he arrives by spaceship, he shows them his new friend.

>it’s a young Superboy, seeing Daxam in all its glory for the first time.

Well halfway through the final arc DC rebooted to make it's heroes younger and hipper so without a doubt that colored his perceptions

>Krypton was Earth all along.

Earth will evolve until humanity is Superman, and when our doom approaches, we, like Jor-El, will send out an offspring to a backward planet in the hopes that someday they will grow to be like us. And so the story repeats, forever.

Get that Red Son bullshit out of here, Morrison

Earth explodes and the Justice League send Batman's son off into space for safety mirroring Krypton exploding

It's almost the same as the last minutes of the last episode of Evangelion.

Superman settled down because there was a new generation out there to take his place. Kingdom Come wasn't a perfect story but Superman passing the reins to the next generation of superheroes (including his child) where he takes a more passive leadership role makes sense.
