The latest in DC's line of direct-to-video animated features, "All-Star Superman" is a nice effort to present a different take on the Man of Steel, but it falls short. Based on the Grant Morrison comics run, "All-Star Superman" deals with Superman's death yet again, this time at the convoluted hands of Lex Luthor (voiced by Anthony LaPaglia). Turns out Luthor sabotages the first-ever space mission to the sun. When Superman (voice of James Denton) comes to the rescue, he is poisoned by overexposure to the sun's rays when he extends around the crippled spacecraft the bio-electrical field that protects him.
