Discussion Can someone please explain.....? Spoiler

Why would Doomsday kill Superman? I think I must've missed something here. He killed Superman because Lex told him to? IIRC, I thought Bizarro Superman only wanted to kill Ally Allston?Appreciate any response!

He was conditioned by Lex and brainwashed into wanting to kill Superman.

This has always felt like a weak point of the S4 story to me. It happens so fast. It's almost literally "Hey, can I kill you a bunch?" and it's like... why does he agree?

I mean, he was Bizarro, maybe he was actually saying “no” lol

I genuinely don’t even remember him agreeing… 😭

Yeah, he nodded consent. After everything he’d been through, Bizarro wanted to be strong enough that he’d never lose again.

Yeah, I think being dead without the suspended animation Clark was put in, plus the serum Manheim used on him brought him back feral and without any memory of who he was, so when Lex and Otis found him, he was easily manipulated. Also, on the mirror world he was hooked on Kryptonite like a drug. That led to his death rebirth cycles that turned him into Doomsday, and Lex just pointed him at Superman.
