JASON O'MARA TALKS THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN

Superman Dies again! Possibly due to the poor performance of Doomsday, or maybe to try and tell a bigger story. Whatever the reason is WB Animation has animated The Death of Superman story, again.But with a more modern eye. A few of the story’s plot elements have changed, and it’s characters designs have been updated, but the emotional soul of the piece is still at the heart. On assignment for Bleeding Cool, I was atlast year’s San Diego Comic Con 2018 I chatted with the stars just before the world premiere. Shortly before I rolled over to Ballroom 20 to watch Superman trade blows with Doomsday (you know what will happened) the voice of Batman, Jason O’Mara (Life On Mars, Agents of Shield) sits down to chew the Bat-Fat with us. 

The Death of Superman is the story about that time Superman got his ass handed to him, but not by Batman. No stranger to playing the Caped Crusader, this was Jason’s 8th time under the cowl and he tells us how he keeps his performance genuine by not doing a “voice” or caricature. He delves into how he has established his Batman voice, as there is little room for change, but he would like more moments as Bruce. And his thoughts on who would actually win that fight? Batman or Superman. His answer may shock you.
