* A meta example. The idea to have Lois Lane be voiced by Creator/JerryOConnell's (Superman) wife, Creator/RebeccaRomijn, is really quite sweet.
** And it translates very well on the screen especially when Lois admits her love for Clark.

* Superman’s death made the news. Not just in the comic books, but in the real world, and not just the local news, but the NATIONAL news. It gave DC Comics it’s highest sales in years and reminded the world how much Superman meant to them. Not only that, but real life celebrities began being seen in public wearing the black armband in tribute to the character. Countless superheroes have died in the decades since this comic debuted, but NONE have had the impact that Superman dying did.

* Crossing over with {{Tearjerker}} and SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, Superman's internal and external dialogue confirm that [[TheSoftHeartedWarrior it's his protectiveness]] that's driving his HeroicSacrifice. As he attacks Doomsday, he thinks that he's got to take Doomsday down for [[OneTrueLove Lois]] and [[HeterosexualLifePartners Jimmy]] and all of Metropolis before the creature can kill him. His "last" words are asking for assurance that Metropolis everyone is safe. Only then does he die.

** John saves a construction worker in what would have been a HeroicSacrifice had Superman not been present. Supes tells John that it's easy for Superman to risk his own life because he has superpowers, but for someone without them, it's more impressive. When John tells Superman he owes Supes his life, Superman replies, "Then make it ''count'' for something!" Later, when Steel reveals he's John, Superman immediately recognizes him as soon as he takes his faceplate off and muses that John really did take his advice seriously.

* By the end of ''The Death of Superman'', ComicBook/LoisLane is an emotional wreck. She's gone through the trauma of Clark dying in her arms, has had to deal with his four would-be heirs, and even when the real Superman initially comes back she won't allow herself to believe him despite some very compelling (and very personal) evidence. After Supes takes down the BigBad with a little help from his friends, we cut to Lois in her apartment, lying in bed fully clothed in the middle of the afternoon, possibly hung over. She hears a tapping on her window and assumes it's a bird, a call back to a scene much earlier in the arc. She flings open the drapes to reveal a great big "S." The next scene is a full-page panel of Lois and Superman kissing in midair. Text reads, "There isn't a doubt in her mind. She's in his arms... faster than a speeding bullet."
