Warner Bros. How Superman dies is actually pretty simple: A mysterious and terrible monster known only as Doomsday arrives on Earth, with the apparent goal of nothing but destroying everything in his path. He dispatches the entire Justice League in minutes, punching Booster Gold so hard he flies into space.
Superman is the only force on Earth that can slow him down, and as the monster carves a swathe of destruction pointing directly to Metropolis, their showdown becomes inevitable. The two meet in the middle of the city, and with a mighty simultaneous punch that shatters windows for blocks around they battle each other into mutual defeat. Two turned out to be villains, and two were good guys after all. One of them helped Superman resurrect himself in a very complicated and comic book-y way.
This Superman with granny shades here? This is the Eradicator, an ancient Kryptonian killer robot who went Krypto-supremacist after the destruction of the culture that invented him, and one of the four possible Supermans who showed up after Superman died.
But, unfortunately, not his post-resurrection mullet. He has appeared in several derivative materials, mostly in animation movies and TV shows , but also played a very important role — with a slightly different origin story — in the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice within the former DCEU. After reading a brief history of the character, we should certainly ask ourselves — can this monstrosity be killed? As was seen on several occasions, Doomsday is extremely powerful and strong, with a plethora of different abilities and powers.
He is a mindless beast whose only purpose in life is — destruction. But, where he lacks intelligence, he has strength. Doomsday is without a doubt one of the strongest beings in the DC Universe, comparable to the likes of Superman and Darkseid. In a physical confrontation, he is practically unbeatable. He has enormous strength, he is nearly invulnerable, has great leaping abilities he cannot fly, but is not far from it and can utilize a lot of the same powers as Superman.
He is also extremely fast and on top of that, he has exceptional regenerative skills, meaning that he can recover from any form of harm if given enough time he can even recover in hermetic conditions, underground, without the Sun, but it takes more time.
His only known weakness is entropy — he cannot adapt to that kind of environment and when he was sent to the end of time, he died along with the whole universe. Sans that, he is practically indestructible. So, how to effectively fight him? Doomsday can be defeated and killed, although even that is extremely hard and will require a superstrong opponent at his absolute best.
So, he is technically not immortal — he can die. But, the catch is that once he is dead, he will — after some time usually faster than any other DC Comics character with regenerative abilities — recover and come back to life, stronger than before. Due to the fact that he has died a countless number of times, Doomsday had to come back stronger in order to survive.
And he did. Each time he would come back, he was stronger than before and immune to manner by which he died or was killed before. Doomsday, an unthinking creature, is hellbent on killing everyone and everything in his path. He is a massive blob monster with bones protruding from his body. But this origin diverges from the comic books. In the comics, Doomsday was born during prehistoric times on Krypton.
An alien scientist named Bertron conducted a series of cruel experiments on a humanoid infant in which it is killed over and over again until it evolved into Doomsday then known as The Ultimate. Doomsday eventually kills Bertron. The movie shows Lex Luthor mixing his own blood with that of General Zod to create the monster in the Genesis Chamber of the Kryptonian spaceship that crashed in Man of Steel.
For those who skipped Man of Steel , the Genesis Chamber is used to create beings. By destroying the ship in Man of Steel , Superman presumably throws away any chance he had of creating more of his race. In the comic books, Doomsday is created long before General Zod is even born. Before Superman crossed paths with Doomsday, the monster took out several Green Lanterns—superheroes who transfer power through rings—in the comic books.
We can presume from the levitating dirt above his coffin in the final shot that the Man of Steel will return just in time for the Justice League films.
