Talk:Doomsday (DC Comics)

message: I edited the beginning of this entry for truthfullness.  DD didn't destroy the radiant the first time, he got his butt handed to him and was shot off planet (seen in superman/doomsday: hunter/prey #2) where he eventually came to earth, which explains why he had the green suit and was tied up.  I went on to explain this, as the entry never specied how he came to earth.
Also, I'm rewording that nonsense about doomsday not talking.  he talks EVERY TIME HE APPEARS and yet superman is always surprised.  in the original doomsday arc he clearly said "metropolis" several times and "war bash" once
---Technically, when Doomsday says "Metropolis" and "War Bash", it's more of a gutteral noise, akin to parroting. When he "talks", they refer to him actually vocalizing full words with correct syntax and grammar, i.e. when Brainiac controls his body, and after the Imperiex thing. So it's perfectly logical that Superman would be a bit surprised at Doomsday speaking.
Is Bertran from Calaton?  That would mean Doomsday is a Calatonian.

message: Is there an actual citation anywhere of Titan being based on Doomsday, or is it just another case of "Hey, they seem sort of alike to me, I'll put it on my blog... uh, I mean, on Wikipedia?" ;) ~03:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The tags the above change removed were valid.  The first item about Titan is unsourced speculation and shouldn't be in the article.  The second item is an unsourced rumor.  Not a fact and shouldn't be in the article.  I have readded the tags.  If reliable sources are shown for these, then  I suggest the tags can be removed.--Rockfang (talk) 02:27, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The source given appears to just be ComicBookResources speculating that the character is Doomsday based on what they saw on the trailer. While I myself am convinced that it is Doomsday, has DC Entertainment, Warner Brothers or any other official source confirmed it? DarkKnight2149 22:49, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No. But per WP:V, it doesn't have to be officially confirmed. As example: Marvel has not stated "officially" that Spider-Man is in Civil War, yet Entertainment Weekly just revealed for sure that he is. That doesn't make EW wrong (nor CBR or any of the other reliable sources for this either). - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:02, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, Wikipedia does have a verifiability, not truth policy, so I guess your right (though a primary source would be preferred for further verification if one ever surfaces). DarkKnight2149 00:20, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. But we also have to consider, even if it isn't confirmed, is it material likely to be challenged? And I don't believe so. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:30, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

message: I'd have to search for more examples, but I feel that Superman has been defeated several times in combat. Leaving aside common tricks like psychic attacks, clones, and Kryptonite, I think of Solomon Grundy and Mordru, and perhaps other magic users (at least pre-Crisis). I imagine there are more.
I'd like to suggest the final sentence of the opening to this article read "only character to kill Superman in combat", rather than "defeat and kill".
