Superman: The Animated Series
Season 02
S02E26 - Apokolips...Now! Part 2
After a successful attempt to stop Darkseid’s plans, the invasion of Earth begins and Superman gets captured and tortured. The people of Metropolis resist and try to fight the evil lord. Even after seeing Superman defeated and paraded through the streets the citizens of Metropolis continue to fight back which bolsters Superman’s confidence. Superman, with the help of Turpin, manages to free himself from his bonds and subsequently a fleet of New Genesis ships arrives to stop Darkseid. Orion informs Darkseid that New Genesis’s leader, Highfather, has placed Earth under his protection and as such any further aggression will breach the peace treaty between New Genesis and Apokolips. Darkseid calls off the attack and as a last act of spite vaporizes Dan Turpin to ashes. Superman, enraged with grief, begins to destroy an enemy tank. Later, Turpin’s funeral is held, on a sunny hillside with a large crowd in attendance as Superman watches from afar.
