DC Showcase: Death

"The end of your story was written in the Book of Destiny before you sucked in your first breath" Very rarely I give a 10/10 rating to movies let alone a short animated DC series. But this movie is really beyond all! A story of a painter & his last distressing time with the angel of death...

I haven't read Neil Gaiman's Sandman series yet, but this short has made me excited to. The animation is pretty good, it could have been better, but it fit the tone of the short. The story is excellent, and very relatable for people who self-criticize a lot. Overall, this was an incredible short with a great story, voice acting, themes, tone, etc.

Kept within the spirit of The Sandman while offering up another angle to the character of Death. Would love to see more stories told with these characters and this animation style.

Absolutely loved it. Beautifully animated in a style of Manga and written by one of my favourite comic book writers, J M DEMATTEIS. I would say that this is definitely one of the best shorts from DC so far. (IMHO) I won't give anything away, I highly recommend you watch it. It can be found on both the Blu-Rays Wonder Woman: Bloodlines and Batman:Death In The Family.

Death from the Sandman Universe is one of the best characters of all time. Imagine taking the idea of death itself, not the harbinger of death nor the guy with scythe playing chess, but the actual concept of death, an entity that represent and embodies death (and life) of all things and make this character into a goth sexy young girl and make her more compelling and interesting than the entire MCU+DCU put together. How do you do this? Well, you let Neil Gaiman write it of course.

I do not think this little video fully 100% capsulate this character, mainly because this is a (very) short story and you cannot really convey the ful scope of death in such a short time. Nor do I think this is absolutely perfect 10/10, but this is still excellent and brilliantly done. This both bring tears, hope and sadness at the same time. Excellent work and I hope they can bring the upcoming Sandman TV show to this or higher levels.
