What's so ****ed up about it is that it felt like a troll, in that I feel like he could've easily looked like comic Doomsday had they just gone all in on the idea of him regenerating with bone spikes. The troll face seems like it would've been fine with some appropriately placed spines.

Imagine this:

Doomsday tries to kill Luthor, Superman punches him in the face, knocks his jaw off and he collapses. Next thing they know, he's getting back up and his entire jaw is covered in bone shards. Wonder Woman slashes his chest with a sword? Bone spires. Superman wins their heat vision duel and blasts him in the face? Bone spires on his eyes and nose.

Actually sort of happened if you watched the film closely, they were just far too timid with it.

Rejoice! Something actually DC-related at WonFes: Revoltech '89 Batmobile -

I have one of their Tumblers and they're actually pretty nice little models for the size and price. Ideal if you want a movie car for your desk.

That's what I'm saying! I just wish they had the balls to go all out with it.

So, a certain someone picked this up for me at SDCC. What great variant, much more than a simple repaint.

She looks good!

The fact that they made more bone appear makes it even more irritating that they didn't go all out and make him accurate. They half-assed it--which I guess shouldn't be surprising considering the way they crammed Doomsday into an already overloaded film.

I still can't believe they already used up the doomsday/superman death plot already. It's like some 14 year old kid directed

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I've know I should know better than to get my hopes up for certain things when it comes to comic book movies, but Doomsday and the Death of Superman should have been an event film--not something crammed into the last 20 minutes of an already bad film just to hit a plot point that was needed for the next film. I don't know why WB has an aversion to making a great Superman film. I know Batman is their cash cow, but come on...it's ****ing Superman!

 

[Shawpaw]

Movie would have been slightly better if Batman killed superman with the spear, only to find it was a mistake. The. Superman, who could obliterate bats would eventually forgive him. But no, they just used one of most iconic storylines to flush in there

What is irritating is people calling for a comic accurate Doomsday, when - let's face it - the comic book Doomsday design is bloody awful!
The movie version was pretty good in my opinion.

I almost got through all of my SDCC stuff this weekend. I got distracted watching Bosch on Amazon Prime so I didn't finish. I got more prints and commissions than I thought I did, but not near as much "stuff" as I have in past years. That's probably a good thing considering I still have exclusives I should sell from last year and have just been too lazy to put them on eBay.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on that. I think the comic Doomsday has a great design. With the right art, he looks like a nightmare come to life.

Besides, it wouldn't have taken much to make him more accurate. The whole character is CGI anyway--just add some more accurate bone spurs.

yeah i dunno how you can compare doomsday from the movie to the evil monster that he looks like in the books. the character in the movie was a visual joke in my opinion! looks more like a bridge troll than the killer of superman!

We will indeed – grey dude, with a white beard and green shorts wasn't that great! And whilst that first picture (which is a recent, more refined image, not the original character design) although looking better, I still think would look ridiculous if translated into film!

Yeah, I can understand some people not liking the design from the storyline due to the original art. I think other artists have put their stamp on the character and done a bit more justice to how big and scary Doomsday should be.

Agreed - but I think the Doomsday from BvS is bigger and scarier than them... and he was evolving, more pronounce bone portrusion etc.
Who knows, if he had been allowed to evolve more, he may have become more like the comic version – and who knows, another Doomsday could still be created... or may exist in the DCEU –*the creation of him was as a weapon, so in Krypton's past, at least one more Doomsday must have been created in order for the Council to have banned further being created.

I'm just over here waiting for a 1/6 Poison Ivy... not the the Uma version.

I'm surprised Sideshow didn't make Poison Ivy to go with their Catwoman and Harley figures in their DC Comics line.

Me too! Reason why I skipped both figures. Still waiting or maybe Gotham City Sirens movie...

Overall, Harley and Catwoman are great figures. It's too bad Sideshow has essentially abandoned the line--except for more Batman figures.

The exclusive Goku picked up for me!

And the one he got me last year that I was too lazy to get around to photo it's much nicer than the standard version and THIS is the paint app it should of been released with.

I can't wait to get a new iPhone, the 5S's camera sucks.

I really dig that look in the first shot. Nightmare indeed.
