The writers obviously couldn't have Clark KILL Doomsday

Seeing as how Doomsday kills Clark like 10-15 years or whatever in the future.

So they had to come up with some crappy way of getting of him without him dying.

Why they didn't use the Phantom Zone for that plot device is beyond me.

Phantom Zone was too predictable if you ask me. Plus, Clark won't kill.

Edited the title, I meant they COULDN'T have had him. Since Doomsday is alive to kill Clark years later.

They lined it up with the animated movie, Superman: Doomsday. Watch this epi, then watch S: DD with the mind that it is 10+ years later. I would have preferred that he was buried in some cell wearing a green suit, but this is better than the PZ, which would have been totally out of nowhere as far as aligning with anything.

But they already had the phantom zone as a possibility two episodes ago.

So Doomsday is just sleeping underground for right now?

remember in the comics Doomsday was underground and someone accidently freed him. I think that's what the writers were setting up.

Yea I completely forgot how Doomsday broke free from underground.

Thanks though guys.

He's buried a mile(I think it is further in the movie) under. In the future Lex will restart the project(in the movie it seemed to be a random place) and- OMG, A BIG MONSTER!

It makes major sense when you look at the Doomsday origins and the Death & Return of Superman story arc from the comics; this lines up very well with what happens there, in my opinion, so yeah, obviously there was no way that they could end up having Clark send Doomsday to the Phantom Zone or kill him without messing up the mythos.
