3.5

Even though it’s not especially well-written, even though it is gimmicky and hokey, even though it comes at a really weird time (in terms of Lex Luthor’s status quo and JLA members) and by the hands of a really weird villain, just the idea of Superman dying is so powerful and the imagery so strong that it automatically elicits a reaction. It is not the grand story that an event of such magnitude deserves, but it still remains emotionally powerful.
